Thought provoking - This tour splits into three parts. The first part around the centre of Phnom Penh covers the main sites and our excellent guide Sina provided an excellent description of the history of the sites. The last part, the Central Market, is fascinating around the building and how busy it is. The middle section covering the Killing Fields and Prison S21 was enjoyable, although I’m not sure this is the right word, as much as it was challenging. Both museums highlight the brutality of that period in Cambodia's history, the museums are simple depictions of the events - which highlights the sadness and suffering. I huge thank you Sina who is an excellent guide.

Not to be missed guided tour - Brilliant full day tour giving an oversight for all the main attractions but with added benefit of in-depth knowledge and personal insight from our amazing tour guide (Yuos). The day was very varied including everything from the Palace to Central Market but the standout for me was the history of the genocide (both at the killing field and s21 prison) harrowing, profoundly moving and so important to remember what the beautiful Cambodian people have gone through in their recent past. Our guide was excellent providing detailed knowledge in an easy to understand way and also including his own family history and how the impacts are still felt today. Deeply moving and an honour to hear this personal side to the history. Yes you could visit on your own but you would miss this once in a lifetime experience. This tour is worth every penny and is an experience not to be missed. Not only this but we were also expertly looked after throughout with care and attention made to ensure we were comfortable (in the shade), plenty of drinks and safe in the busy streets.

We had our tour with Sina... - We had our tour with Sina who was very kind and informative. The small group was great as we got to chat to the others on the tour (7 of us in total). While the history is sad, it is a worthwhile tour to learn about the history and culture of Cambodia.

The best tour of Phnom Penh - How lucky to have found this tour! The Sina guide is extremely polite and knows everything about the city and the points visited. It was punctual, the van was very clean and offered us water and refreshments throughout the day. In the points visited, he explained everything and told the history of Cambodia from the point of view of a local, always with a lot of sympathy and knowledge. The tour takes many hours, as they are the most important sites in the city. At all times he respected our time, answered questions and even helped with the photos. I recommend to any Cover who wants to know the city and the history of the country in depth. Impermeable!

Amazing trip value for money - The trip was Really amazing, I could almost cover all of Phonm Penh attractions in a single day! Mr.Sina was my host, he was so knowledgable and took time to explain every site, with lot of details. Was willing to explain and answer questions as well. Never felt rushed at any place. Free cold water/soda was very refreshing :).

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!
