5.00A great day exploring Phnom Penh with Visal. Visiting all the major sites, with Visal's personable approach. We were allowed ample time to explore each area & returned to the Tuk Tuk with a cold drink waiting. We finished early & Visal offered to take us elsewhere. A great way to tour the capital.
Nice experience

5.00Booked last minute and couldn’t have been happier. Visal was excellent – knowledgeable, engaging and made the whole experience seamless. The day felt flexible and personalised, covering everything in Phnom Penh I was after and more. It was the perfect introduction to the city, made even better by Visal’s energy and insight. Highly recommend.

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.

5.00Excellent 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.
