Amazing guide and solo tuk tuk tour!

Mr Siphat did an amazing job. Taking the tuk tuk was quite a fun way to experience the tour. He was both knowledgeable and spoke English quite well. I’d definitely do this tour again with My Siphat! Thank you very much!

An amazing tour with an amazing tour guide

My tour guide was amazing. He was very informative and there was no language barrier, especially with me being an English speaker. He accommodated me very well. I would definitely recommend his services and the services of his company to anyone. He was also even able to give me some great locations to eat great Cambodian food. I had a wonderful time.

Must do experience, one I will always remember

Our tour guide Mr Oung was the best tour guide we have ever had the pleasure of doing a tour with. From the moment he picked us up he has a wealth of knowledge and is a very kind and lovely person. The heart breaking history you will learn on this tour was very heavy and emotional but we all should learn it. Thank you again for a very moving experience.

Fantastic insights into the real history of Phnom Penh

Our guide Siphat had first hand knowledge of the events in Cambodia in 1975-79 so it really made the experience personal and real. Being on a small tour with only 2 others we had the opportunity to ask lots of questions and even adjust the order of visits to suit our needs.

Amazing Siphat Tour Guide

It was a fantastic tour. This tour won’t disappoint! We had a fantastic tour guide "Siphat" who was very knowledgeable. He gave lots of historical and cultural information and was more than happy to answer questions. He also offered recommendations of other things to do/ see and places to eat during the tour. It's definitely a must when visiting the city! SAM FROM ????
