Excellent tour! - Had a really good tour with Sam as my guide. Sam contacted me prior my arrival and arranged a pick-up from the airport which I thought was a really good way to start. Had a lovely pho breakfast and headed out for the tour. Very comfortable vehicle (thanks Mr. Rom) and I thought the tour was very informative and interesting. Not rushed at all. After the tour, I was dropped of at the hotel and given pointers as what I should see at the palace. Great job Sam and thanks for making my trip great!

Surprisingly good guide! - Sandra was by far the best tour guide we had during our 10 day tour through Vietnam and Cambodia! Her deep knowledge, story telling abilities and never ending enthusiasm for answering our questions made her a pleasure to deal with! Can highly recommend her. And visiting the genocide museum and killing fields has exceeded my initially low expectations. I now think it is important for young people to front the brutality of the past and hopefully avoid such low points in the future!

Knowledgeable Guide - Flexible Tour - Sok was my guide and he is well educated in all things relating to the period of the Khmer Rouge. He is also very passionate and personally involved in supporting the maintenance of the sites through his own efforts. I had a need for a quicker tour and Sok and the driver did a great job getting me around, but I did not feel rushed and was able to still absorb much of the information. Highly recommend.

An excellent tour guide with very good English. - The service you have provided goes above and beyond anything I have experienced with other travel agencies in Phnom Penh and South East Asia. Sandra was the friendliest, most knowledgeable tour guide I've ever had. She was able to answer any question asked of her. The van was very nice as well, the air conditioning worked very well and kept our group cool and happy. The driver was very professional and followed the speed limit.
