Great tour. Tour guide very knowledgeable about locations and history. Nice comfortable transportation.
We had Sina as our guide and he was excellent. He explained a lot of history to us in an easy to understand manner and was very knowledgeable. It was the right amount of time to see the palace, the genocide history and some other local monuments. Lunch was also very good. I would recommend this tour.
Sina was an amazing guide who taught me a whole lot about Cambodian culture and history. He was extremely knowledgeable and a great personality. This tour is definitely worth it if you're visiting Phnom Penh, the genocide museum is an extremely tough visit but definitely worth learning about. Shout out to Sina who took amazing care of me the whole day and had a constant supply of cold drinks! 10/10 day 10/10 tour!!!
Excellent tour, although the trip to the Killing fields and the genocide museum were difficult to experience, I think everyone should see this and understand exactly what happened in the beautiful country. Our guide, Sina, was fantastic, very knowledgeable and compassionate. Definitely recommended to all
Such a fabulous day, Sina is so knowledgeable, informative and so interesting g to listen to. As harrowing as it is visiting S21 and the killing fields, Sina gave all of the background information to easily understand each site we visited. Vehicle nicely air conditioned and cold drinks constantly offered throughout the day. Thank you so much Sina for such a fantastic day. Kate & Ian
Wonderful Full-Day Tour with Sina We had a very well-planned full-day tour covering the Killing Fields, S21 Prison, the Royal Palace and more. Everything was organised perfectly, and we travelled in a very comfortable van with a small group of just two people, which made the experience feel very personal. The Killing Fields and S21 were, understandably, very heavy and emotional experiences. Sina was incredibly knowledgeable and explained the history with great depth and sensitivity. His English was excellent, and we never felt the need for audio guides because his explanations were so clear and engaging. Sina made the whole day informative, comfortable and easy, while giving us plenty of time at each place. Highly recommended if you want to understand Phnom Penh and Cambodia’s history beyond simply seeing the sights.
Wow just wow! Sina’s tour is by far the best part of my Cambodia excursion! Sina was extremely and very knowledgeable as he guided us through temples, palaces and even the killing fields! Further, I saw so many people who did a prior tour with Sina and they were smiling were smiling from ear to ear because they knew we were in great hands! Thank you Sina for an incredible tour!
Sina was an amazing guide the whole day. From the hotel pick up, to the constant offering of beverages such as ice cold water and soft drinks. Tour was very organise and described very well. As well offering time for photos along the way. It was also a great way to finish in the central market. Overall I would highly recommend this tour if you are wanting to explore Phnom Penh and it’s deep rich and tragic past aswell as the beautiful architecture of the place and other places.
A fantastic and very informative journey around Phnom Penh. Sina was a wonderful guide.
Some travel experiences stay with you long after you've returned home. This tour with Sina was one of them. Sina is an exceptional guide — knowledgeable, passionate, and deeply well-versed in the history of Cambodia. He brought the story of the Khmer Rouge era to life in a way that no book or documentary quite can. Whether at the memorials, the museums, or the Killing Fields, Sina narrated the country's painful past with clarity, sensitivity, and depth. Understanding the history of Cambodia is absolutely essential before — or while — visiting these sites, and with Sina, you are in the best possible hands. The tour takes you through one of the darkest chapters of modern history — Cambodia's civil war years, the brutality of the Khmer Rouge regime, and the resilience of its people. It is sobering, emotional, and profoundly important. The Killing Fields, in particular, is a site that will leave a lasting impression. A highlight that deserves special mention is the visit to the Royal Palace. Stunning in its architecture and grandeur, the Palace takes on an entirely different dimension when Sina walks you through it with its rich historical backdrop. His narrative weaves together the splendour of the monarchy, its role during Cambodia's turbulent years, and what it represents for the country today. It elevated what could have been a sightseeing stop into a genuinely enriching experience. On a lighter note, lunch was excellent and thoughtfully arranged — vegetarian options were available, which we appreciated. If you are a history lover, or simply someone who wants to truly understand the country you are visiting, do not skip this tour. Sina makes it an experience that is as informative as it is unforgettable. Highly recommended.
We really enjoyed our trip to learn about the history of Cambodia & Phnom Penh. It was a small group trip which we felt was really beneficial with plenty opportunities to ask questions. Sina was an excellent guide & spoke very good English.He spoke of his families experiences living in Cambodia & what they endured during these extremely difficult times. Refreshments were provided throughout the trip & the air conditioned van was just what was needed. Would recommend this trip….only admissions to various venues had to be paid at very reasonable admission charges.
I didn’t have much time to explore Phnom Penh, so I was looking for a good day tour that would let me see as much as possible in one day — and I found the perfect one. The tour started when our guide, Sina, picked me up at 8 am and ended when he dropped me back off around 3:30 pm. It was a small shared tour with just three of us, which was perfect for me. Sina drove us around to see many of the city’s notable landmarks, including Wat Phnom, the Royal Palace, the Cambodia-Vietnam Friendship Monument, the Statue of King Father Norodom Sihanouk, the Independence Monument, Wat Langka, the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S21), the Choeung Ek Genocidal Center (Killing Fields), and the Central Market. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and learned a lot, especially during the visits to the Killing Fields and the Genocide Museum — these were definitely not easy places to visit. Once again, I’m so glad I booked this day tour. A big thank you to our guide and driver, Sina, for the highly engaging and informative experience. If you’re in Phnom Penh and want to see and learn about the city in just one day, I highly recommend this tour!
Siam is amazing. He really knows his stuff. His English is fantastic and he answered our questions every time in detail. We are really very fussy Aussies and this tour is the best you can buy. He talked about how the Khmer Rouge affected his family and the way it changed his country. We saw the kings palace and the killing fields and museum. The whole time Siam made sure we were comfortable and he had water coke and beer for us to drink.
We had an incredible full-day tour of Phnom Penh and couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Sina. From start to finish, the experience felt highly personalized and thoughtfully paced, allowing us to really take in each location without feeling rushed. Sina’s communication skills were excellent—clear, engaging, and full of insight. At every stop, from the Royal Palace to the monuments and the Killing Fields, he took the time to explain not just what we were seeing, but the deeper history and context behind it. His knowledge and ability to share Cambodia’s story in such a meaningful way made a huge impact on us. What really stood out was how approachable and attentive he was, always happy to answer questions and adapt the tour to our interests. It felt less like a scripted tour and more like exploring the city with a knowledgeable local who genuinely cares about sharing their culture. This tour was the perfect introduction to Cambodia during our short stay, and we’re so grateful to Sina for making it such a memorable and enriching experience. Highly recommend!
I got a touch of heatstroke and she was a great help when that happened, but after that it was back to the Miss Soros show. The constant pushing all day finally erupted at the restaurant she took me to. The salmon wasn't good. I was willing to let it go but she kept pestering me to have them take my food and remake it after I said no. After waiting more than 10 minutes I said to forget it but she TOLD ME to wait because they were working on it. Well it came back out and this time it was super greasy. I paid for it and was pissed. Originally I was just gonna cut some stuff out to try to make up some time, but I just cancelled the tour after that, I wasn't in the mood anymore. Of course she tried to talk me out of it. It was too late. Too much of the focus went away from what I wanted and more towards whatever she wanted to do. If you like being bossed around all day then she's the guide for you. I don't pay to have people boss me around, so I won't be using this service again.
Great day with lots to see and do. Some of the places we visited were horrific and eye opening such as S21 prison and the Killing Fields. Sina, our driver and tour guide was excellent. He was very knowledgeable regarding Cambodia’s history. As a result, it made the tour more interesting and enjoyable
Extremely informative and deeply moving. Sina was a superb guide. Would strongly recommend this trip.
Very intresting tour very well presented by Mrs Len. Our guide had a great knowledge in the history of Cambodia and the attractions worth seeing in Phnom Pehn. She had a good knowledge in English and was able to answer our questions about what we saw in a good way.
very interesting and well presented tour . Mr Silong was our guide on this trip ,he made us feel really welcome and explained the itinerary from the outset . He was very knowledgeable and kept us interested the whole time . The Killing fields and S 21 are obviously emotional places for anyone to visit and I thought Mr Silong gave us the time we required to come to terms with what we were seeing . The tour was very well organised and I would recommend it . Thank you Mr Silong for a very imformative and interesting tour ,one I'm sure we will always remember .
Our small‑group tour in Phnom Penh with our guide Sina was an impressive and deeply meaningful experience that gave us a profound understanding of Cambodia’s culture and history. The first part of the tour introduced us to the country’s rich cultural heritage, including visits to the Royal Palace and several important monuments. Sina explained the historical and cultural background with clarity and passion, helping us better understand Cambodia’s traditions, symbols, and identity. The second part of the tour focused extensively on the tragic period of the Khmer Rouge regime between 1975 and 1979. With great sensitivity, respect, and knowledge, Sina guided us through this dark chapter of Cambodian history. Visiting the Killing Fields and the Genocide Museum was deeply moving and emotionally challenging, but Sina provided the necessary context and historical depth to truly understand what happened. These experiences affected us profoundly, yet we believe that this part of history is essential to understanding Cambodia as a country and its people today. We do not see ourselves as tourists, but as passionate travelers who want to engage honestly and respectfully with the places we visit – including their painful past. Sina handled this difficult subject with remarkable empathy and professionalism, making this tour not only informative but also meaningful and unforgettable. We highly recommend this tour and especially our guide Sina to anyone who wants to gain a deeper and more authentic understanding of Cambodia.
Sina picked us up from the hotel and took us to see local landmarks. The van had excellent air conditioning. He was thoughtful and knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour with out reservation.
This was an amazing tour with this guy he explained everything well Thank you so much for a wonderful experience in your city
I was picked up from my hotel and was really looked after by Mr Lee and his driver throughout the trip, we went to the famous and highest temple in phnom phen and all around the royal palace, we then went on to see some famous monuments here and then the killing fields and S21, Mr Lee had so much knowledge and explained everything with passion, he is driver was there picking us up and dropping us off every step of the way with refreshments and wipes to cool down with, last stop was the market. It was a really interesting trip and well worth the money!
I had the pleasure of having Sina be my tour guide for his Royal Palace, S21, Killing Fields & More tour. He was very knowledgeable about every site we visited, including giving us a personal view of how the Khmer Rouge affected his hometown and his family. He was patient and answered our questions. And he was a great driver too. I highly recommend having him as your guide for Phnom Penh.
Sina was very attentive and kind. His explanations were very informative and he even including stories from his own parents who experienced the Khmer Rogue first hand. He also lent me money when I didn't have enough on hand. Hes a very amazing tour guide, went above and beyond. Would definitely recommend.
We had a wonderful day with an excellent and knowledgeable guide. We enjoyed the combination of sights. We had planned to see the killing fields and genocide centre but I am very glad we did the full days tour and saw so much more that the city has to offer.
Sina is great, very kind helpful and knowledgeable! It gives you a really good understanding of the history of Phnom Penh which is so important to hear
A good overview of Phnom Penh with key highlights. Royal Palace was closed so we went to National museum. The killing fields and S21 were emotional and educational.
It was wee organised. Small group of seven so could ask lots of questions. Guide very knowledgable and fun. Driver great too Good spot for lunch. Drinks always available in the van A long day but we covered a lot We hopped off at the market rather than finish on that bit and grabbed a tuktuk back. Would definitely recommend
Sana was a very helpful guide who explained everything patiently and made this a wonderful experience. We were picked up and dropped off at the hotel where we were staying which was also an added experience. Definitely recommend and a must do while you are here.
We were well looked after on this tour by Sina. He is very knowledgeable and informative about important cultural and historical events. He is the perfect tour guide for these emotional locations. He also provided lots of chilled drinks throughout the day.
Siva our tour guide was excellent, knowledgable. Compassionate, and very articulate. I have no issues in recommending Siva as a tour guide
A great, and long day, with Presh (our guide) and Mum (our driver). Arriving at our hotel on time we set off to see the many sites included in the tour. Presh provided detailed information on the sites we visited, and there was ample time to see everything we wanted to see.
Very complete tour. I’m glad we bought the tour that spent time inside the a Royal Palace. It hard to see and hear the events that happened but very necessary for people to know tge hardships of the locals. Sina was an amazing tour guide giving us sooo much valuable information. Also a great driver and offered us plenty of water, sodas and beer and bathroom stops all through the day. I strongly recommend this tour.
The all-day private tour with Mr. Sina was amazing and well worth the cost! Mr. Sina provided thorough explanations at the various sites and answered all of our questions fully. He picked us up promptly at the hotel and offered cold drinks throughout the day. The day started with sites in Phnom Penh (Palace and monuments) followed by the Killing Fields and Tuol Sleng and then finishing with Wat Phnom. Mr. Sing has a great personality and a great sense of humor. His selection of an excellent lunch spot was greatly appreciated. It was a full day of sight seeing but the time flew by. Mr. Sina is a phenomenal guide and person - he receives our highest recommendation - you will not be disappointed!
The tour was wonderful and Sina ensured we all stayed hydrated during the warm day. Very informative tour. Highly recommended.
Sina is a professional. Great tour. Took us to many of the core spots in Phnom Penh, gave us a history lesson at each, as well as personal anecdotes to show the impact key events have had on the ordinary Cambodian. Highly recommended.
This full-day tour began with an on-time pickup from our hotel and continued to impress throughout the day. It was incredibly insightful, offering a rich look into the history of Cambodia. Our english speaking guide, Sina, was fantastic—attentive, offering cold beverages, and always ready to answer our questions. He also had a great sense of humour, which made the experience even more enjoyable. This tour is perfect if you want to see the key sights of Phnom Penh in one day, especially if you prefer small-group tours of around seven people or fewer. Thank you Sina for a fabulous day!
This tour was fantastic. Sina was very accomodating, respectful and friendly! He covered every bit of Cambodian history in detail & missed nothing. Was also more meaningful to us to hear the history from a local with their own family experience/ stories from the time.
This tour splits into three parts. The first part around the centre of Phnom Penh covers the main sites and our excellent guide Sina provided an excellent description of the history of the sites. The last part, the Central Market, is fascinating around the building and how busy it is. The middle section covering the Killing Fields and Prison S21 was enjoyable, although I’m not sure this is the right word, as much as it was challenging. Both museums highlight the brutality of that period in Cambodia's history, the museums are simple depictions of the events - which highlights the sadness and suffering. I huge thank you Sina who is an excellent guide.
Brilliant full day tour giving an oversight for all the main attractions but with added benefit of in-depth knowledge and personal insight from our amazing tour guide (Yuos). The day was very varied including everything from the Palace to Central Market but the standout for me was the history of the genocide (both at the killing field and s21 prison) harrowing, profoundly moving and so important to remember what the beautiful Cambodian people have gone through in their recent past. Our guide was excellent providing detailed knowledge in an easy to understand way and also including his own family history and how the impacts are still felt today. Deeply moving and an honour to hear this personal side to the history. Yes you could visit on your own but you would miss this once in a lifetime experience. This tour is worth every penny and is an experience not to be missed. Not only this but we were also expertly looked after throughout with care and attention made to ensure we were comfortable (in the shade), plenty of drinks and safe in the busy streets.
Sian was a great tour guide, passionate, punctual and knowledgeable. Cold water, soft drinks and beers included and available. Comfortable minivan.
If not on your list already.. DO IT!! Great local guide with private group tour. His local knowledge and personal experience and passion was truely amazing!! Everything we expected and more! Highly recommend.. 10 out of 10.. you wont be disappointed
I had a great tour with a knowledgeable and polite guide , I highly recommend this tour , the history is incredible I feel like I saw a lot in one day , money well spent .
We had our tour with Sina who was very kind and informative. The small group was great as we got to chat to the others on the tour (7 of us in total). While the history is sad, it is a worthwhile tour to learn about the history and culture of Cambodia.
The trip was Really amazing, I could almost cover all of Phonm Penh attractions in a single day! Mr.Sina was my host, he was so knowledgable and took time to explain every site, with lot of details. Was willing to explain and answer questions as well. Never felt rushed at any place. Free cold water/soda was very refreshing :).
We had an amazing time with Sina and learned soo much. Thank you for the great day, Sina. :) If you would like to get some insights into Cambodian culture and history by a super friendly local while driving around in a Van with AC and being offered cool drinks - book this trip!
Jum Reap, was an amazing guide. He speaks slowly, making it easy to understand everything and also acomodate all the new information in your head. He would always look for shadows for us to be during the explanation, help with the street crossing, answer the infinite questions regarding the history, arquitecture, culture, etc. The van is very clean and new and it was amazing to have fresh water with such a heat. Totally recomendable!
If you want a tour which hits all the major spots in Phnom Penh, look no further. Having spent the morning in a wonderfully air-conditioned van looking at some of the attractions of the city, we were taken to the obviously sombering killings fields and S-21 prison. What sets this tour apart is the amazing guide, Sina, who answered every question we had and shared the experiences of his family. We'll be forever grateful for his openness which aided our understanding, and it was clear to see his passion in sharing the story of Cambodia. You won't regret booking this tour.
