All the sites mentioned in their itinerary were memorable especially the palace,pagoda & French style central markets. We also visited S24 which left a lasting impression on us. Our guideMali couldn’t do enough for us. She changed the itinerary to suit our particular wants as after seeing S24 we did not wish to visit the Killing Fields. She was very informative, helpful and attentive. Our driver was also a very good, safe driver.

Great tour. Parts are sobering, parts are interesting, and parts are fun. But overall it’s a nice overview of Phnom Penh, especially if you’re not spending a lot of time in the city. Traveling by air conditioned mini van was nice because we had a chance to cool off between visits. Our guide Molly was great and very friendly and willing to accommodate our requests.

A tour with mixed emotions, from beautiful, peaceful palaces and temples to the horror of genocide centres. But it’s the part of Cambodia’s history that everyone must know. Our tour guide Sam was punctual, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend this tour.

Sam was a fantastic tour guide! He customized our day to our liking and had a wealth of knowledge about the history of Cambodia. He was friendly and offered to take many photos of our group. The lunch that was provided was a great restaurant that does not use MSG-a huge bonus! For our group of 6 they brought a spacious, clean, and air conditioned 10 person van. We later contacted the company to arrange transportation to the airport which they happily provided. Customer service was top notch.
