Fun Phnom Penh culinary journey - Vy was a great host, taking us around 5 Phnom Penh locations for a great range of Cambodian dishes (and beers). The TukTuks are great fun and very safely driven and the journey itself around Phnom Penh after dark was a good way to get a feel for the city. We’ve found Lost Plate tours to be excellent in other cities (Xian, Suzhou) and highly recommend this one. Not cheap, but a fantastic experience. Thanks Vy and the team

Wonderful evening in Phnom Penh - Yesterday we took this food tour with Vy. It was our 3rd night in the city and an excellent way to see things we would never have managed on our own. The 5 venues we stopped at were superb - often family owned - and provided opportunities to try a range of dishes. Our guide Vy was lovely, very informative and friendly. We enjoyed her company and getting to know more about Cambodian culture. Our tuk tuk driver was very considerate, taking time to ensure we were safe and dry! All in all would definitely recommend.

Extensive food choices and a great guide! - A great evening with an extensive range of local delights. Vesna was a fabulous guide full of knowledge not just about the origins of the food but about local culture and politics too. A fun night with teenagers who all gave the dishes a try. The tuk tuks are a bonus way to see the lesser known areas of PP. Highly recommend!

Fantastic tour. Would recommend - The tour was fantastic and a great way to explore the local food scene, especially places out of sight that foreigners may not normally go to without a local guide. The food was fantastic and the tour guide, Veasna, was superb. He was very knowledgeable and knew a lot about the history of Khmer cuisine. Would recommend a tour with Veasna to eat great food and learn about Cambodia’s culinary history.
