This is an amazing tour. You get to taste a selection of traditional Cambodian foods cooked by locals, but you also get a feel of Phnom Penh at night, learn about the culture, customs and Neara is a delightful guide. A must do tour to do in Phnom Penh.
Neara was a great guide, we had so much fun riding through Phnom Penh in a tuktuk and meeting local restaurant owners and trying their local food! We had a great experience, and can only say great things about Neara as a guide. She's an amazing human being, very warm, and very sincere at her job. She took us through various cambodian restaurants and made us try their delicacies, all the while enlightening us in their origin, the way cambodians eat it and the historical significance of it. She even made sure we were comfortable all the time, and everything was going good. We had a great time and highly recommend her for immersing yourself in local Cambodian culture. She's amazing!!
Neara is super nice and fun.
Great evening spent visiting local restaurants and trying local dishes that we probably wouldn’t have visited on our own. Neara was a great guide, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Cambodian cuisine. Very enjoyable experience and would recommend if you want to eat like a local with the comfort of knowing the food and restaurants are recommended by a local guide.
Genuinely nice organized Food Tour with Neara. She offered herself and fine dining places that you would never find or go to. Besides, I liked that she does this in her own company and not employed by some big company that only thinks about money. Near really thought about in this program and she answered all our questions, even the difficult ones. Strong recommendation!
Nearly was a fantastic guide with a high degree of local knowledge and information about the different foods we were trying and the sites we visited. She has a great sense of humour and we all enjoyed the experience, despite some reservations about the food due to our personal tastes. All the restaurants made us really welcome and the cold beers on the tuk tuk were very much appreciated. Would recommend this tour and Neara for a real local flavour experience.
We spent a wonderful evening with Neara sampling delicious dishes and seeing a some cultural sights around Phnom Penh. Our evening included a stroll along the waterfront, getting to understand some aspects of Cambodian culture and stops at the Royal Palace and Independence Monument. Come hungry there is a lot of food on offer! Neara did a great job of accommodating a vegetarian and was flexible in the venues we visited: I was with my teenage sons, so instead of pub street we stopped at a rooftop bar with sweeping views of the Russian Market. Neara is knowledgeable about food, Cambodian culture and history and her friendly disposition makes the tour a real pleasure!
We had just arrived in Phnom Penh and this was a great way to see some of the city at night and get our bearings. We went by tuk tuk to 3 different family restaurants via the royal palace, Independence monument, waterfront and more to try traditional foods. We had a sticky rice street snack and ended the evening with the biggest cocktail in a great little bar. All of the restaurants were run by friendly people and full of locals. The food was great, make sure you bring an appetite. We learned a lot about Cambodia from Meara, she is a lovely person and very knowledgeable. The tuk tuk driver was also very nice and supplied us with plenty of water and beer along the way.
An absolutely fabulous tour, Neara made it all the more special being so friendly and knowledgeable. Plentiful gorgeous food, a real insight into Cambodias history and culture, plus a great night finished off with an amazing cocktail. Thank you so much Neara and also thanks to our Tuk Tuk driver too, thoroughly recommend.
So the tour with our tour guide Neara was great. Food was delicious. Very nice atmosphere and lots of information Can highly recommend the tour to anyone
