“Amazing tour!”

The tour was awesome, I had a wonderful time and learned so much! It was such a treat, getting to know the city and learn about it from not just a local, but someone as knowledgable as Martin! The tour included all of the most important sights in the city centre and Martin has a fantastic sense of humor, so all the new information with jokes peppered in was a really fun way to learn. Cambodia has such a rich and vibrant culture, religion and a really unique history, it was wonderful to get to know more about it, especially as someone who has studied world history in university but who's visiting a South-East Asian country for the first time. I would have had such a shallow experience and missed so much, had I been just walking around Phnom Penh on my own. I've been on quite a lot of walking tours on my trips to various countries around the world and I must say, this was definitely one of the best I've ever been to! By the end, everybody at the tour had enjoyed it so much that we all ended up deciding right then and there to also go on a tour with Martin to the Killing Fields the next day - despite the fact I had just signed up for a visit there separately through my hostel. So I ended up taking two tours with Martin and I'm very happy I did, as well as very grateful to him for sharing his knowledge about this beautiful country and its culture! :)

“Good mix of culture, history, and culinary adventure.”

Great walking tour of Phnom Penh! We strolled along must-see landmarks while Martin provided clear explanations and fascinating insights into the history and architecture. The street food stop was an authentic highlight. Martin shared excellent tips on where to eat and what to do during our stay. One note: the meeting point was unclear—it turned out to be opposite the Independence Monument. Highly recommended for a good 1st impression & mix of culture, history, and culinary adventure.

“Excellent introduction to Phnom Penh ”

Martin introduced us to Phnom Penh and the relevant places to be. We heard a lot of detailed information about the historical background, how Cambodia is ticking, about religion, food and so one. Martin is a humorous and cheerful guy. The tour was a little impacted because we got amidst the preparation of the national day. So we also saw lots of security and military staff preparing for a large parade and the appearance of the king. The side effect was that the traffic collapsed. That`s why I arrived late at the meeting point On the other hand Martin had to choose some paths. An upside was that the were able to take photos of monuments without a single car. We can recommend the tour with Martins humorous comments.

“amazing history and food tour”

Martin was a super local guide with decades of experience. He guided us deeply into the history of this country and into its food specialities, in a funny and appealing way. He also drove us into the local market explaning and tasting things that probably we wouldn have done alone. We higly recommend him!

“Very informative tour”

What a great tour! The guide, Martin, has studied history and gave us a great Tour with many insights and historical context. We happened to be in Phnom Penh during a holiday week, so some things were closed, but that didn’t detract from the information or setting. I would highly recommend taking this tour if you are in Phnom Penh.
