Great street food tour - This street food tour is great. My guide was really nice and helpful. Food was good and in typical places. I recommend! Great tour with a super friendly guide who adapts to your requests (I was able to taste a tarantula at my request...). Not sick at all. I highly recommend!

THE BEST EXPERIENCE IN PHNOM PHEN !!!! - OMG the best experience in Phnom Phen. Excellent communication regarding pick up, and then cold beer, water or coke in esky for the TukTuk ride. We started with a beautiful rice noodle curry soup dish that was amazing… oh if only I could cook like that at home. Then we visited various street markets learning about the food and the culture in general. I wasn’t very adventurous with my taste buds, (I was too full from the first dish) but the evening was such an experience. Not just the food but learning about the culture and life of Cambodians. My guide was Thung and he is the owner of the company. He has the most amazing story from a really tough childhood through to getting himself out it, studying to setting up and operating this business. Best thing is he is extremely charitable- and gives to others in Cambodia to help them. His assistant for the evening (her name was hard for me to pronounce - but was something like Linda) was so knowledgeable too, and was great with information about the costs of living in Cambodia, food, market stall rent etc (I know this tour was about the food but I loved all the background information). Highly highly recommend and if I wasn’t leaving today, I’d just want to hang out with these people more because they are so welcoming, happy and inspiring. 🙏🙏🙏
