100% Recommended - Jum Reap, was an amazing guide. He speaks slowly, making it easy to understand everything and also acomodate all the new information in your head. He would always look for shadows for us to be during the explanation, help with the street crossing, answer the infinite questions regarding the history, arquitecture, culture, etc. The van is very clean and new and it was amazing to have fresh water with such a heat. Totally recomendable!

A tourguide and tour we'll never forget - If you want a tour which hits all the major spots in Phnom Penh, look no further. Having spent the morning in a wonderfully air-conditioned van looking at some of the attractions of the city, we were taken to the obviously sombering killings fields and S-21 prison. What sets this tour apart is the amazing guide, Sina, who answered every question we had and shared the experiences of his family. We'll be forever grateful for his openness which aided our understanding, and it was clear to see his passion in sharing the story of Cambodia. You won't regret booking this tour.

Fantastic private tour! - Sina was an amazing guide, he spoke perfect English and provided cold drinks throughout the tour. He took great care of us the entire day and was so patient. It was a very sobering experience learning about Cambodia’s history. We would highly recommend sina’s service for a private tour if you are short of time or want to see the main sights in a day. The day was well planned out and we did not feel rushed at all: thank you sina for a wonderful experience!

A beautiful and emotional day out with the most genuine and friendly tour guide we had in many years travelling. - It was our second time visiting Phnom Penh and second time doing a city tour including the Killing Field and S21. The first thing for us was how much Phnom Penh has changed in 17 Years, it is now a buzzing city with high scrapers and probably lost some of the authenticity we felt during our first visit. But it is still a beautiful city with magnificent temples well worth a visit. Our tour was made all the more special by Sina. This charming young men is very knowledgeable with good English. Visiting S21 and the killing field and listening to his story and the story of his parents that were only children when Pol Pot took over Combodia was so humbling and really make you appreciate what the true value of life should be especially for us westerners living in our super materialistic world. We definitely recommend a tour with Sina, you will learn so much and have a day fill with various emotions and create so many memories. Thank you Sina for the amazing day you gave us and for sharing your story with us. All the best to you and your beautiful family. Jeremie & David

Phnom Penn highlights with driver - This tour will get you around the attractions in PP . It is basically a driver service as you are driven from A-B . It’s nice to have an AC vehicle to travel in . The stop at the palace came with an actual guide arranged who was v good . We gave him $10 for his service bc we felt he added a lot of value . Do factor in the cost of getting into the attractions. Aside from the pagoda which was $1 each the others cost much more than advertised - like $10 each . You also need to pay extra for the audio guides - they do make sense of what you are seeing so I wouldn’t skip getting them . We were dropped off at the market , no guide came in with us which would be our preference as we like to be left to our own devices . However if you are looking for more hosting I would suggest booking a guide service who would manage each stop for you - this is a driver service . We were finished by 2 as we had elected to skip lunch until after the tour - the driver dropped us off at a suggested restaurant.
