This was an amazing tour. Wonderful street art, great food, and an outstanding guide. We learned a lot about the culture of modern day Phnom Penh and had very interesting discussions with the guide. It was a highlight of our visit.
We couldn't be happier reading this review! Thanks so much for your very kind words, we're thrilled you had an amazing tour! Loads of Love Team Urban Forage Food & Art Tours
After having gotten my visit to the city started with their evening food tour (Ultimate Phnom Penh Food Tour by Tuk Tuk: 20 Tastings and Drinks), I had such a great time that I decided to book this one as my last excursion to complement that experience before heading out of town. It only continued to exceed expectations. Jackson is as passionate about the local food culture as much as its street art, which provided insight that I wouldn't have been able to discover on my own. Do yourself a favor and add this to your list next time you're in Phnom Penh. I promise you won't regret it.
To have exceeded your expectations is the best we could hope for! Thanks so much for your kind words and for choosing us to guide you around this wonderful city! Loads of Love Team Urban Forage Food & Art Tours
We spent a lovely morning with Kanha. She is a delightful guide with very good English. we started at the local market where the produce was fresh and colorful and our “first breakfast” very tasty. This was followed by a fascinating tour of street art in the city before we stopped for a truly delicious “second breakfast”.
We're humbled by your review and appreciate you sharing your experience! Thanks for your lovely words. Loads of Love, Team Urban Forage Food & Art Tours
Absolutely AMAZING experience! The Urban Forage Tour market & street art tour was packed with surprises from start to finish. We discovered places we would never have found on our own: local markets, hidden street food spots, and cool street art along the way. The guide was fantastic: super friendly, passionate, and full of great stories. We loved every minute of it and would 100% recommend it to anyone wanting to experience the city in a different, more authentic way!

Absolutely cool trip with guide Jackson, who accompanied us 1A. Start with morning market, lots of info betr. Sellers, their plants, fruits and dishes. At the same time we were allowed to enjoy an extraordinarily delicious "Cambodian breakfast, incl. dessert". Afterwards we went to street art in an area we would never have come to or found our way around the many alleys. Again, an awful lot of information from our guide about the different artists.
Amazing! It's great to hear that you had such a wonderful time on tour with us. Thanks so much for your review. Loads of Love, Team Urban Forage Food & Art Tours
The tour was great and Kanha was a fabulous guide. The local market was interesting and we enjoyed both our first and second breakfasts! Street art is always a way to understand the sub-culture of a city and we appreciated learning at little bit more about Phnom Penh.

Highly recommended. An authentic exploration of Phnom Penh, visiting spots you may not find otherwise. Guide Kanha was fantastic - very knowledgable and friendly. Food was great - what could be better than two breakfasts to start your day!

This morning markets, breakfast, and street artists tour was an absolute highlight of my time in Phnom Penh and a perfect way to experience the city beyond the usual tourist spots. Our guide, Jackson, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. He shared fascinating insights into local food, daily life, and the street art scene, explaining not just what we were seeing, but why it mattered. His depth of knowledge, clear explanations, and friendly approach made the whole experience engaging, educational, and genuinely fun. The breakfast experience at the local markets was delicious and authentic, and walking through the morning markets felt like stepping into real Phnom Penh life. Meeting and learning about local street artists added another unique and inspiring layer to the tour that really set it apart. A special mention also goes to Mr Lucky, our tuk tuk driver, who was fantastic — calm, safe, and always ready with a smile. Getting around by tuk tuk made the tour relaxed and enjoyable, especially in the morning heat. This tour struck the perfect balance between food, culture, art, and local insight. If you want an experience that feels authentic, thoughtful, and memorable, I can’t recommend this tour highly enough — especially with Jackson as your guide and Mr Lucky as your driver.
Such a fantastic review! So detailed! We really love your feedback and appreciate you recommending us! Loads of Love Team Urban Forage Food & Art Tours
Super communication right from booking. Jackson has really great English and is easy to understand. We really enjoyed our tour. Mr. Lucky picked us up in the morning and we met up with our fellow tourists and Jackson. We visited a very Cambodian market, the BKK, Boeng Keng Kang. Produce, meat/fish, clothing, barbers, hair clips, fortune tellers, Wow! Jackson is chock-full of great info. We had 1st breakfast there, then on to some great street art, lots more info. Great pics! 2nd breakfast, then a special treat, the Temple of Cacao! We got to try so many different chocolates from the first chocolate shop in Phnom Penh! Mr. Lucky made sure we stayed hydrated with ice-cold water all morning, as well. If you can climb in/out of a tub-tuk, you can do this tour, we highly recommend it to anyone!
Thanks so much for your recommendation! It sounds like you had a really fab time, we're grateful for your feedback! Loads of Love Team Urban Forage Food & Art Tours
Great experience to taste local street food. Explored more by tuk tuk of Phnom Penh’s busy streets and quiet lanes to see large painting murals on walls and fences. I wouldn’t have experience this totally different tour if a friend hadn’t mentioned about this. We viewed the amazing sight of the city from 35th floor Art Gallery and learnt about the history of the city. A nice block of chocolate gift to take home. Definitely an eye opener!
Thanks for you wonderful review. It means the world that you enjoyed the tour and all aspects of it. Loads of Love Team Urban Forage Food & Art Tours
