Had a very good experience with this guide, but I did not attend the workshop he normally takes groups to. We visited a Buddhist temple and recieved a blessing from the monk, and the guide gave good information about Buddhism.
Leap, our guide, and Pheap, our driver, have made our morning really enjoyable. We have learnt so much in the time we have spent with them both. The ox cart ride through a Cambodian village was great and something we haven’t done before. We got to see a variety of different houses and a lush landscape. It was interesting to see the market and use some of the foods we saw there to then prepare and cook our own meal. The lady who taught us was patient and helpful. After the meal, we got to enjoy the botanical gardens, where they have a huge variety of plants. Leap knew so much about all the plants and trees and their many uses in cooking, construction etc. This tour is definitely worth booking. We’ve had a great time and didn’t feel rushed at any point.
It was a smooth ride with a professional and safe driver, Vutha. He was very accommodating and helped us stop at decent places on the way to recharge.
Highly recommended this tour. We are very satisfied with the service. We enjoyed the tour and they can easily adjust your tour with your schedule with no hassle. Our tour guide was so bright and good!
