Phnom Penh Night Food Tour By Tuktuk-local Eats& City Highlights

We had a great time with Neara as our guide, sampling all the Cambodian street foods, and learning a bit of history of Phnom Penh, and walking through the weekend night market. Overall, interesting, good food and a great time. Highly recommend.

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!!

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.

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.

Neara was super friendly and chatty. She is very knowledgeable about Phnom Penh and took us to lots of places to eat that we wouldn’t have known about. Neara has a strong belief in family, and businesses that are run by several generations. She believes strongly in supporting the local community and this really resonated with us. Neara took lots of photos of us that she shared with us, we rarely get us all in a picture so it was nice. The food we tried was a delicious mix of different Cambodian specialties. Even my youngest daughter who is a fussy eater tried a few things. We really enjoyed spending the evening with Neara and would highly recommend.

Excellent experience to enjoy Cambodian food. Nym explained everything in great detail. I experienced a wonderful culinary delight. Highly recommended. The tuk-tuk driver was very friendly and courteous. Thank you.

A great food and sightseeing tour. Lots of variety and exposure to local restaurants with a knowledgeable guide.

We had a fun evening with Bosakneara, touring the city, sampling local food. She was a very good host, taking the time to explain the food choices and the history of the food vendor. We stopped at a few historical sights along the way and she provided a good overview of their significance. The tuk tuk ride was fun and the driver went out of his way to keep us dry in the pouring rain. Lots of local beer and water available in the tuk tuk. My highlight was trying durian fruit ice cream. Wasn't on the planned menu but when Bosakneara learned that I'd never tried durian because of the smell, she insisted I try the ice cream - and it was delicious. This is a new business venture for her and I wish her every success. Highly recommended.

Neara was a delightful hostess for our first trip in PP. Even though we gave her the wrong info for our hotel pickup (didn’t know there were 2 with the same name), she was very happy to have two guests from NZ to take on an informative tour. It was pretty with all the night lights too. We were her first guests for this new culture and food tour We learnt a lot about Cambodia’s difficult history & the challenges that impacted her own parents. We drove past her parents house twice. Our favourite dish was the first stop with special noodles made in a delicate coconut soup base. We shouldn’t have eaten the whole bowl because there were plenty more dishes to try, including a stop at a street vendor to buy a delicious sweet fresh coconut pancake with cashew nuts. Then we went to a market and looked at the variety available. Neara brought fresh fruit for us to try. There were 2 other main course stops - everyday food so shared tables - don’t expect restaurant environments- this is how locals eat everyday. There was a fish paste dish which is common but we found salty, eggplant dishes and a pork/egg/tofu dish. Next stop the French bread roll was crispy - choice of BBQ meats and a sweet/sour tangy fruit & vege salad to give texture. A street vendor stop to buy dessert which was taken to our final destination on a beer street. Neara’s favourite bar had live music and we could choose which beer to try, The tuk tuk driver was great too. We can highly recommend this tour for authentic Cambodian foods. We had confidence that environments were clean and seating was at a height comfortable for us rather than on the short stools. Please support Neara in her business to make it successful.

What a great start to our Cambodian adventure! Neara just started her own business and knows how to take care of her clients! We were met with a smile which continued all night, come hungry as these are full portion meals with numerous plates as she wants you to experience all the things! 🥰 I mentioned I enjoyed congee so she even ordered an extra bowl just so I could try the specialty there! The night market was great- allowing us to try various things along the way ! I waould definitely recommend this tour to any one how enjoys food and looking to get situated with the city!

Neara is super nice and fun.

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!

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

Nice evening with a lot of different food. Both traditional street food and fusion modern Khmer/Western. Neara is a pleasant guide who is trying to build up his own business. She was born and raised in Phnom Penh. Brilliant to make your first night in Phnom Penh as a crash course in food and a little sightseeing. Neara has the world's sweetest tuk tuk drivers.
