I enjoyed tasting and learning about different local foods, hearing about Cambodia's history, and getting an insight into the current situation and Khmer culture. Travel by tuktuk during the day was comfortable and Samol was able to accommodate my vegetarian diet during the tastings and at lunch.”

“We had a perfect tour with Pao! He is a very friendly and passionate guide. We learned a lot about Cambodia, its history, and daily life. Pao answered all our questions and explained everything with a lot of knowledge. The timing of the tour was perfect for us. We didn’t want a full-day tour because we had already visited the Bat Caves the evening before. So this half-day option was just right. One of the highlights was the visit to the old, traditional Bamboo Train – very special and a beautiful nature. We also got fresh cold water during the tour.
