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.

5.00Tour 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.

5.00Excellent 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

5.00VIsal 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!

5.00Cows 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.
Fantastic Day Tour of Phnom Penh Highlights by Tuk-Tuk – Highly Recommend Visal

5.00Visal was a wonderful guide — knowledgeable, friendly, and thoughtful throughout the day. We covered so much ground in one day, from the stunning Royal Palace to the fascinating Silk Island, along with many beautiful temples featuring Cambodia’s history, architecture and culture. This tour was flexible and tailored to the visitor’s needs. Visal took the time to find a restaurant that matched my dietary requests and gave very helpful insights at each stop. The tuk-tuk was comfortable, making it an easy and enjoyable ride around the city. If you want an informative and well-organised way to see Phnom Penh, this is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!
Comprehensive tour, great value

5.00Sony was an attentive guide providing plenty of time at stops, and comforts such as cold drinks. We saw all the expected sights though the timing meant we were too late to see the museum. Sony is working on his English but did a good job of informing us of the main historical and cultural points. Tuktuk was a great way to travel.
