Comprehensive Tour, Incredible Guide - One of the highlights of our entire 2 weeks in Cambodia! 
Roy is such an incredible guide, with so much historical knowledge and personal experience that he so generously shares with his guests.
He is an incredible story teller with impeccable self-taught English, and each site we went to Roy was able to make history come to life with this personal anecdotes, historical knowledge, and sharp humor.

We initially just booked the half day country side tour that went to the elephant cave, salt fields/secret lake, and pepper plantation.
For the pepper plantation Roy took us to a plantation that was family owned rather than the big foreign owned touristy one which we really appreciated.

By the end of this half day tour we felt like we still wanted to explore more and hear more from Roy, so we ended up adding on a trip up to Bokor mountain (this is listed as a seperate booking on Viator/Trip Advisor).
It was a very worth-while addition, with a completely different atmosphere and quite a few historical landmarks on top.

Overall, a wonderful way to spend a half or full day in Kampot with your expert local guide Roy :)

Excellent tour - We had a private tuk tuk tour with Roy who was a fantastic guide - he was very punctual to pick us up, was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent english. We were not rushed at any stop and we found each stop very interesting. We enjoyed our tour so much we booked Roy again for the next day to take us to the Bokor National Park which was also excellent. We would highly recommend both tours with Roy.

Private Tour for Two - I had originally booked our tour as a group of 4 but my son had gotten a stomach bug. So the hubby stayed behind with him. This actually allowed me to spend some quality one-on-one time with my daughter. Being that it was low tourist season, we were able to have a private tour guided by Phoalla. He was very patient, informative and very professional. Phoalla would every so often check on us and see if we were doing OK. The fresh coconut, with wind in our hair, was a nice touch to the end of the tour while he drove us back.

A great trip - Just had a great trip with Roy. Roy picked me up from my hotel, which was very convenient. Shared a tuk tuk and the trip with 3 others, which worked out just fine for me. Roy was an excellent guide with lots of knowledge. Would definitely recommend this trip. In total door to door the trip was 9am - 1 ish. Back in time to enjoy some lunch and an afternoon by the pool. A perfect day 👍🏼. Thank you Roy 😁

Tuktuk Tour in the Surroundings of Kampot - Pretty low-end excursion, in outdated tultuk, without guide and the driver spoke only English, contrary to the description which advertised: language of the excursion: French - guide.
