We had a great time with our guide Sina. He doubled as our driver and tour guide to explore the city. We were a small group of 4 and he accommodated each of us and checked that we all understood his historical briefing before proceeding to take photos for us and allowed us to explore by ourselves. He opted for us to use audio guides at the killing field and genocide museum to gain a better story and accommodated for our difference in language preference. For places that we weren’t that keen to explore especially due to the heat, he drove us around so we can enjoy the AC while he explained the buildings/monuments that we passed. Overall, he kept us hydrated, allowed us the flexibility to move around the itinerary, and made sure each of us were taken care of. I would definitely recommend him to anyone interested in a thorough day tour due to short of time in the city.

5 out of 5 stars

What a great tour with Pum. I didn’t know what to expect and it was fantastic! So many places I could never have found myself in that time. Touring at night and seeing the city in lights and the people out and about was really vibrant. Pum took the time to explain the history and answer my questions. It is a really worthwhile trip. Not to be missed if you are staying in Phnom Penh. I recommend it!
