Mr. Sophorn was a fantastic guide who was very knowledgeable about the complex antecedents and causes of the rise of the Khmer Rouge and the subsequent genocide. His insights gave me a much deeper understanding of this grim period in human history. Five stars!
I had Mr. Cow as a tour guide / Tuk Tuk driver. He is outstanding and made my day in Phnom Penh truly memorable! Mr Cow is extremely friendly, has a great sense of humor and provides an outstanding service (e.g., chilled drinks, umbrella, punctuality, etc.), which made the entire tour both enjoyable and relaxing. He also speaks a very good English and he was absolutely flexible - e.g. he adapted the tour to my interests, took me to an excellent local coffee shop, and even made it possible for me to buy and try fresh durian. Mr. Cow is also very knowledgeable. At every site, he shared interesting historical and cultural background information, and he also gave me valuable insights into everyday life in Cambodia. Thanks to him, I experienced far more than I would have on a standard sightseeing tour. I can highly recommend Mr. Cow to anyone visiting Phnom Penh. He combines professionalism, knowledge, flexibility, and genuine kindness in a way that makes the experience truly special! Thank you, Mr. Cow, for a wonderful day and an unforgettable introduction to Phnom Penh!

We had an excellent tour day with Mr Sop - an excellent and very knowledgeable guide. We got to see all major landmarks in the city in a single day at a nice pace and definitely did not feel rushed. Mr Sop was excellent at telling us all about Cambodia's history and we learned so much on the drive alone travelling from landmark to landmark. If you are visiting Phnom Penh this is the only tour you'll need to do and you'll walk away with a deeper understanding of Cambodia's history thanks to such a proficient guide. If you are visiting on the weekend please also consider joining Mr Sop to watch authentic Khmer kickboxing in the evening.

Today I had my tour of Phnom Penh with Mr Sop. We visited 11 places in one day, and he did an excellent job. Mr. Sop is exceptionally knowledgeable and does a great job connecting the history of the city with Cambodia's broader past. He is a very engaging guide who knows how to keep the day balanced and comfortable, even when covering tragic parts of history. It was a very insightful experience. I highly recommend a booking q tour with Mr. Sop!
