The tour was sadly a pretty big disappointment. We had a tour of a few of the iconic places in the city and our tour guide didn’t know things very well and had very broken English. Most of the time he would repeat the same things over and over. The tour guide explanation of key details especially at the museum was very hard to understand. He seemed to be a very nice person but we being nice isn’t what we paid a lot for, we wanted a city tour that was educational and interesting which we definitely did not get. You don’t get anything much more out of it with a tour then we would have just gone ourselves and paid for a self guided audio tour especially at the museum. You are transported by Tuk-tuk and Tuk-Tuks don’t have AC obviously so it was extremely hot the whole tour. The tour guide also did not get ahold of us till over 1 hour after the tour departure had already past at 8am. So we assumed it was not going to happen until 1 hour and 19 minutes later at 9:19am he contacted us saying he was in our hotel lobby. Every tour during our 3 weeks away we had our tour guide contact us at least the day before the tour and this was the only one that failed to do that. I wouldn’t recommend this tour and instead I would suggest doing a hop on hop off bus or just figure out transport to the places yourself and do your own research of the places visited.
Impressive experience with Mr. Nao Sok. He knows the history well and he is also a botanist and introduces us a lot about Cambodian plants and their connection with the religion. Lunch tastes nice at a riverside restaurant and the view is good. We finish all the visits on time. Everything is smooth. Additionally, Sok is willing to share and leads us to a temple and a university, we learnt more about the local culture and history. Sok also helps us take many pictures. I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to know more about Phnom Penh.
Thank you very much for sharing your impressive experience with us. We’re delighted to hear that Mr. Nao Sok’s deep knowledge of history, botany, and Cambodian culture made your tour in Phnom Penh both informative and enjoyable. We’re also glad you enjoyed the riverside lunch, smooth itinerary, and the additional visits that helped you learn more about local life. Your recommendation truly means a lot to our team. We hope to welcome you again on another journey in Cambodia. Warm regards, MyProGuide Cambodia Team
It was a great tour overall. Pre-tour, a day before, the Guide will chat you and inform about the pick up arrangement. As it was for 3 participants, we took Tuk Tuk (motorbike one) and went around. First area is the Royal Palace, National Museum, then Wat Phnom. Before going to Wat Phnom, we had a lunch break with good food (they have local and international food) and ambience is super nice. So thankful that our Tuktuk driver and tour guide are very kind and friendly. Very recommended! ✨️
Dear dio270, Your review truly made our day! We're so glad you had a great tour and that you found our guide and tuk-tuk driver to be kind and friendly. They are indeed a wonderful part of our team. Thank you for highlighting the delicious lunch and the overall experience. We hope to see you again! Best regards,
Nao Sok is really informative when it come to the culture of Cambodia, he check on us from time to time and asking if we still ok or if we have any questions. I amaze of how it shows that he really do love his job. Nao Sok is my tour guide for my 2 days Phnom Penh tour and I will highly recommend this kind and sweet person to you guys. I will choose him again when I got back to Cambodia ❤️
This is a phenomenal tour! My guide, Sok was wonderful. He explained all the sights and answered all of my questions, I learned so much about Phnom Penh, the people of Cambodia and local customs and practices. It is obvious Sok loves this city and wants to share it with the guests on tour. He also plants trees throughout the city to give back to the community and pointed them out along the way. Sok suggested a lovely riverside restaurant for lunch and that was amazing as well. Communication with the tour operator was easy and professional. Highly recommend!
