The true experience - I cannot recommend Roy more highly! He was the perfect tour guide and even took me on a private tour because it’s a quiet season🙏 His knowledge was outstanding and he was engaging and enthusiastic about all things! I learnt so much from him; not only about the fascinating sites we visited, but about the Cambodian culture, way of life, history, and general interesting conversation. The lunch cooked by his mother was so delicious and I found him so likeable and easy to spend the day with. These personal tours help every day Cambodians. Please don’t support big companies and corporations 🙏

Great tour with beautiful nature/sightseeing - Really good tour drove into the jungle guide gladly stopped if we wanted to take photos and let us take our time where ever we were fed a lot of monkeys and had a lot of stops where we got a lot of good information about the stops! Would recommend doing this tour!

Fascinating mountain tour with hidden waterfall spot! - I had a great time on this trip with Roy, who is a kind and welcoming guide. I loved the waterfall in particular - climbing down to the foot for a lunch spot that felt like a real hidden gem. The mountain itself and all its buildings make for a really fascinating window into the history of the country. And even the journey up and back down the mountain road was really enjoyable. Thanks again Roy.

Excellent trip and good value for money - Pickup was at a decent time where you could have breakfast first and not rush to get out. The tour guide was a really nice man, very knowledgeable and explained the sights. I felt I was given enough time to explore the areas that we did stop off at such as the black palace, the church, the temple, but I would have liked to have explored more of the abandoned buildings such as the post office, casino and police station, but I appreciate there is only so much that can be done in the time as it was a half-day trip. The lunch provided for me was suitable for me as a vegetarian and it was absolutely delicious. I forgot to thank whoever made it. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get away from the city and enjoy some peace and amazing views, and also to escape the heat because it is nice and cool up in the mountains

One of a kind experience, excellent! - Roy was an excellent guide - he was passionate, interesting, funny and very knowledgeable about the National Park. He arrived on time to pick us up, and his English was excellent. It was lovely spending the morning with him learning things about himself, the National Park and the culture and history of Cambodia. We stopped to have lunch under the shade of trees near the lake which was a lovely touch. Overall, I would really recommend booking this tour with Roy, it felt very personal and thoughtful - he added little extra touches that we hadn’t got on other tours during our travels. Thank you Roy!

10/10 Highly Recommend - Highly recommend this trip! We booked our tour with Roy to see more of the nature around Kampot. Roy was an excellent guide - he provided water for the trip AND bananas to stop and feed the Monkeys along the way - which was a definite highlight. He was insightful about the local area, and Cambodia as a whole. We learned and laughed a lot on our trip, and we’re sure you will too! Book this trip!

Roy makes the tour fantastic! - Roy is a fantastic tour. Excellent English, good knowledge of the area as a local, and a nice guy to have a day tour with. Met some great people on the tour and went on a impromptu tour of Kep where Roy's recommendation for crab was delicious. Five stars for Roy!

Great Tour to Bokor National Park and Countryside - We enjoyed the tour with Roy a lot and especially appreciated all the background information about Cambodia, culture and life here which he openly shared with us! Originally we booked the half-day tour to the National Park only but spontaneously stayed for the countryside tour to Kep, Pepper farm, secret lake and salt fields in the afternoon as the other people in our group booked this version. For us it was absolutely worth the money, thank you Roy!
