Though I have been before, this was the first time in Cambodia for my sister. Wonderful guide, very thorough with all the questions etc we had for him.

I was able to see the most important sites. Missed a few but that was fine. It was hot and lots of traffic. I ended the tour an hour early. Sol was my guide and he was nice but didn’t provide some information I overheard from listening to other tour guides. I wish he had allowed me to get the headsets to listen to the history at The Killing Fields and Genocide Museum. He told me he would explain but his Cambodian accent and outside noise made that complicated. He was good at stopping the driver so I could see some local street vendors. The Tuk Tuk driver was excellent and always on time with cold water. I appreciate the experience and the knowledge of what happened in Cambodian history.

Excellent tour with a very gifted guide

Carla_B, Nov 2023

Sok was a most amazing tour guide. He gave us a very rich experience through some beautiful and some emotional places. He covered difficult content very sensitively, and we came away with a deeper understanding of Cambodia’s history. He was most attentive to my husband and even carried a folding chair for him to use when we paused for explanations (back problems). We cut the tour a bit short, choosing to omit the market and the temple, but that was our own choice, feeling overwhelmed and tired. Sok was understanding and very flexible. He even gifted us 2 beautiful scarves because it was our wedding anniversary! Thank you for a wonderful day!

Excellent day in Phnom Penh

Dave_L, Mar 2023

Started off poorly with the guide 1 hour later than our advised tour. I must stress that this was not his fault as he had definitely been advised the wrong time. However, this was a very interesting tour and was full of great information about Cambodia and the atrocities that were committed here. The SU-21 prison and killing field tour was interesting, although horrific in what happened. The guide was excellent and informative. Thoroughly recommend and you can see most sites of Phnom Penh in 1 day.

Gary C, Jan 2018

Amazing tour with a well spoken English guide. I did not want to go to Cambodia but now having been there I want to go back. The tour showed us all the main sights and we had a beautiful lunch on the riverbank. If going to Cambodia you should not miss out on this tour, we will definitely be recommending it to all of our friends but be prepared for learning about a lot of harrowing experiences that occurred during the Pol Pot period, something all should see so they can reflect and wish that this never happens again.

ALICE_H, Jan 2018

Our guide Mr Kdey Pidor was friendly and attentive. He provided detailed explanation to the various places of interest. On my request, he even took the trouble to bring us to PCB Book Store in search of the Lonely Planet Cambodia. Our lunch at Orchidee Restaurant was great. The food were very nice and tasty.

Patricia A, Dec 2017

This was an excellent tour!! Our driver and guide were wonderful and took us all over to see the various sites. The royal Palace was lovely and we got lots of info on it and other sites. One of the most impressive and I didn't think we would get to spend much time there was in the S21 Prison and the Killing Fields. Wow!! That was emotional and so sad!! The Cambodian people have done a great job of maintaining the integrity of the period, no whitewashing and no horriblizing of the genocide. They presented the information and have done a great job of memorializing it. I would highly recommend this whole tour. I wish I could remember our guide's name and driver, as they was so sweet and informative, but gave plenty of time for our own exploration as well. I felt well taken care of and well informed.

Aaron R, Jul 2017

This tour was great. I only had a short time in Phnom Penh and this tour allowed me to see all the sights in one day. My guide was informative and happy to answer my questions. He balanced the time well by talking to me about each site and then giving me individual time to explore the area. The included lunch was delicious and had a nice view.

This was a private one day tour...

Paul S, May 2017

This was a private one day tour which covered all the main attractions in Phnom Penh. It is an especially good tour if your time is limited. Our guide spoke good English and was very knowledgeable. Our car was clean and air conditioned. Lunch was at Bopha Phnom Penh Restaurant which is beside the river. It was a set menu of Cambodian food and was delicious.

Really wonderful tour that hits all...

Lindsey M, May 2016

Really wonderful tour that hits all the high points of Phnom Penh for tourists - in the comfort of an AC van! Te Sony was great and a master at telling the complicated history of Cambodia, interwoven with stories of his family. I highly recommend!

Horrible. Tour company did not...

Lindsay_L, May 2016

Horrible. Tour company did not answer calls to confirm pick up. Local number provided was not actually local and after multiple attempts at calling the tour company when they didn't show up to pick us up we Google location of their store only to spend 2 hours trying to find a company that was not there!!!! Huge expense for a tour not received! I have done many many viator tours in different cities and have always had a positive experience, however this was a very horrible experience especially because this was the first day of our vacation after 21 hours of travelling. We were looking forward to the ease of nothaving to think or plan anything, only to be very disappointed and in the end have to scramble to plan everything.
