Things to do in  Cambodia

Panha was an excellent tour guide. Very well organised, nice clean car, excellent English. He provided the history of Cambodia and his knowledge was fantastic! Enjoyed all the sites we visited and we had an evening sunset cruise which was a great surprise.

Getting to see cambodia village life while having a workout. Doing it in the morning time is perfect as temperature was in the 80s.

This was a great half-day experience and a must-do for anyone visiting Phnom Penh. Our tour guide Thong was fantastic as he led us through the countryside, explaining the local agricultural practices and influence of Buddhism in the area. His English is great and he made sure our small group of three stayed hydrated and energized as the day started to quickly heat up. There are some fantastic stops along the way, including multiple Buddhist temples, a female monastery (you technically do not stop there but you quite literally bike through it), a local school, as well as a local silk weaving home. Thong does a great job contextualizing these areas, and you are free to walk around these stops for as long as you would like (the pace of the tour is largely up to you). For lunch, you eat at the silk weavers' home, and let me tell you it will probably be the best meal you have around Phnom Penh. We had local fruit, jackfruit sticky rice, samlor kako (a Cambodian-style ratatouille), spicy chicken, and what I think was nom banh chok (Khmer noodles with fish). Coming directly from someone’s kitchen you can tell this is a labor of love, lunch was definitely a highlight of this tour. Prepare to sweat because although the terrain itself is not that strenuous, the Cambodian heat will surely get to you. Plenty of water is provided but bring a bottle or two yourself beforehand. It was only myself and my two friends on this particular trip, meaning we got a highly personalized experience. We’ve been in Phnom Penh for just over a week and this was our favorite experience so far. Getting out of the city and into the countryside where we could meet and directly support local Cambodians was awesome, and you will develop a greater appreciation for the culture and livelihood of rural Cambodia by the time your trip concludes.

We were given a tour by a gentleman called Baboon. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and had good english to explain some of the dark times that Cambodia had previously gone through. While this tour is a sobering and eye opening experience, I would highly recommend it to learn about the history. The journey to and from the locations was comfortable and we were offered cold water throughout as it wad a hot day. Ask for Baboon to give you the tour!

Mr Reaksa arrived to pick us up in the morning directly from our hotel (which wasn't easy to get to) and was very friendly from the start, introducing himself and explaining a little about where we would be going. Kulen Mountain is around 90 minutes from where we stayed but on the way Mr Reaksa bought our tickets for us and filled the journey with his great local knowledge of the area, farming and villagers and some of the history of the countryside. Whilst at the mountain we saw the top of the 1000 Lingas River and learnt about its history, and proceeded to see the Reclining Buddha and the amazing landscape views. He then guided us through the village down to the waterfall, which has got to be one of the most incredible sights we've ever seen. We got up close and Mr Reaksa took some fantastic pictures for us! On the way back we stopped for dinner, where again the food was great, then as an extra we called into the Cambodian Landmine Museum, where could learn even more about the history of Cambodia, the Khymer Rouge, and the work of Aki Ra. Mr Reaksa then dropped us off right outside our hotel for a glorious round trip. If you're lucky enough to see Mr Reaksa in the morning, you're in for a truly amazing day!

A tour that exceeded all expectations. We didn’t know much about the what we would see but our tour guide was amazing, he explained everything about the Hindu/Buddhist history of Cambodia and the areas we visited. While also helping us to try a few local snacks. He also took some incredible pictures of us which I really appreciated because the beauty of the waterfall was really outstanding. Highly recommend 🌟

Sam was an excellent guide and we gained wonderful insights on the history of not only the temples, but that of Cambodian/Khmer people too! Ranging from religion, mythology, civilisation, etc. And even any general questions on Cambodian way of life. Given our wonderful experience on the private tour, we booked him for another half day tour the next day to Tonle Sap and Phnom Bakeng to see the sunset

The I've just returned from the most wonderful day of discovery and fun, a tour constructed with imagination, heart and expertise. In my opinion (I'm a cynical woman. A gushing review doesn't come often) Bun took me to see the part of Cambodia I hoped to see and to the streets and fields of his hometown. Never a dull moment, fascinating facts and anecdotes falling from him like rain. I learned about his own life, the lives of the everyday man and woman working in the fields we drove past and the lives of the people through some harrowing historic periods of the region. Bun was generous with his time, adventurous and brought us to some of the most beautiful countryside and temples not included in the itinerary. Do I recommend this tour? Emphatically yes. Is Bun a great guide? Absolutely one of the best I've hired in Cambodia in a month of touring. I think I'm going extend another day here and book the motorbike tour.. I bet its going to be brilliant.

The way this piece of history is encapsulated in these sights is unbelievable and immensely impactful to visit. It immediately changed the context of Cambodia and its wonderful people. Chesda was a major part of this and she is a fantastic guide. She is both professional and very funny, quickly feeling like a friend. We appreciated her personal perspective and connection to the Rouge and I can’t imagine having a better guide for this trip. (Maybe that is why we took her up on a separate tour during our stay too!). My wife and I are 32/31 and from the US.

An awesome t Time out with George and his intrepid team. We cycled past beautiful rice paddies and got experience traditional Cambodian small style farming villages. The trip to the local morning fresh produce market was very enlightening and we experienced the diversity of life as well as the beauty of fresh produce. George was incredibly attentive to all our needs and make sure we were all safe and happy. The cycling is not at all hard it’s just a little bumpy. The bicycles on excellent running condition and gear change was smooth. George carried water for the team as well as stopping for regular water breaks and stops to check on the group. After the horrors of a 2 year lock down in the tourist town is going to be great to see his business taking off again. Thank you for a great morning

Loved this experience and Bun was just excellent, went above and beyond to talk us through the sites but also shared more about Cambodia’s history, his own personal experience and more about the culture. Activities themselves are also great! Bamboo train was lots of fun, you do stop at a village for a drink so be prepared for that. Bat cave was just incredible as well would definitely recommend going up top. All round an excellent day!

Well worth going in dry or wet season. Very interesting if you want to see how Cambodians living on the waterways really live.

This tour was one of our favourite things to do during our time in Cambodia! The bat cave at sunset was spectacular and the bamboo train was a lot of fun. It made for a great (but very long) day.

So easy, fun and great to see to many temples it really took the stress out of us having to organise it and know which temples were best to see etc. Guide was so knowledgeable and gave a real insight into the history and life in Cambodia !

Include entrance fee 20$ exactly The guide cum driver for my trip is nice Cambodian guy with patient attitude I have enough time for visiting all place included in tour and the guide help me call motor bike by local guy to visit some others place exclude tour, and truly advice about buying souvenirs around visiting place

The primary focus was to see the sunset from a great viewing spot. The second was we stopped and saw Cambodia as a local. With stops at a distillery. A mushroom farm and villages. My best rude ever in my trip

After reading so much of Khmer Rouge Regime, we decided to see ourselves the destruction during their rule in Cambodia.

T'was a great experience to see part of Cambodia's countryside and her ancient capital from 17th to 19th century called Oudong. And we had such a good guide who really took much effort explaining to us the history of every place we visit. Thank you Chalana, you were awesome!!!

There are so many beautiful temples in this region that it was worth getting a locat guide and having two day tour. Mr Chea Narong from Angkor Local Tour was a very knowledgable guide and also took the time to show us and talk to us about everyday life in Cambodia as well as just the usual tourist attractions. We highly recommend him

Phearom spoke perfect english. His knowledge of the temples and Cambodian history was vast. He was personable and accomodating. The car was clean and had AC and the driver offered cold bottles of water after each temple visit. It was a great experience and I highly recommend this company and this guide.
