5.00We had a wonderful day trip with Mr.Makara (Guide) & Danit (Driver). Mr Makara was very knowledgeable about the recent history of Khmer Rouge, the Genocide and the Cambodian Royalty.He was very patient and explained things very well.He covered the full itinerary and we took our time in seeing everything.In the evening we took a leisurely boat ride on the Mekong River.Overall we were very satisfied with Mr.Makara. Danit is a skilled and careful driver and very cooperative.He is also very punctual.We felt very comfortable & secure with his driving. We have no hesitation in recommending both individuals.

5.00Our guide, Makara, was very knowledgeable about every place we visited! From temples to palace to the genocide museum, the tour covers a lot!
Excellent tour with just the right touch of school-style lecture interspersed with humor!

5.00We traveled in a large group (17) people and still had everything go smoothly. Thorn, aka Tom, was very knowledgeable and witty. He was super polite, well-organized, flexible, and patient (we had a few stragglers who were always a bit late). Our full-day tour of Phnom Penh included all the main highlights. What was supposed to be a 7-8 hour tour ended up becoming a 10+ hour tour because of some last-minute changes we requested, but Thorn and our driver, Piep (sp) managed to make everything work out without a hitch.
