Visal was superb - his command of English and knowledge about all the locations totally made the tour. He was also very polite and friendly, extremely attentive and a good driver. We had a very comprehensive tour of the city and Silk Island, as well as being flexible, adding in an additional stop we requested. Highly recommended - book this guy for a fantastic experience.

Excellent tour with very interesting stops. It is a bit of a trip out to the mountain but definitely worth it. Plus the drive is interesting in itself as you get to see daily life and a variety of places go by. Our guide, Nick, was exceptional. Knowledgeable, flexible, funny, and engaging. He made several special requests of ours come true with ease. We really enjoyed our time with him.

Tour was excellent variety of sites to see. Mr. Thy was a great guide. Knowledgeable, flexible, and funny. Highly recommend the tour and Mr. Thy. Also, if you get a guide at the Royal Palace, see if “Sam” is working and try to get him. He was excellent also.

Excellent survey of the city. Visal was very kind and accommodating, was able to adapt to our needs and interests. He was very funny and knowledgeable. Recommend if you want to have an intro to the city, before exploring genocide sites. Definitely would have felt overwhelmed doing all together so I recommend splitting it up! This tour is a great option for getting to know the city

VIsal was great! He was very kind and knowledgeable, willing to change our itinerary on the fly to help us keep our appointments. A lot of water provided and a great way to see the highlights of PP in a short period. Great for all ages. Be aware that the cost is higher than the listed one if you intend to enter all museums and get a guide. Bring cash.
Personal tour with the best guide!

Cows our guide was knowledgeable, considerate, flexible and a little bit quirky! We loved him to bits. He had great knowledge of the city and was happy to stay longer in some places and skip others. He really went above and beyond to make our tour memorable as well as informative . Highly recommend this tour.
