The tour was great and it all happened because of my excellent tour guide Piseth, who was very patient with me with my requests and he was so accommodating. The tour went smoothly except for the helmet that was once okay and suddenly it became defective that made me worry for our safety. I hope the tour company will provide a more safe head gear, invest on it for passenger’s safety. Overall, I love the itinerary but please do change the place with the mural painting and choose another place because there’s not much of mural paintings found anymore and there are no painters, we were told by locals in the area that they stopped doing mural paulintings a long time ago. The price was worth the tour and my tour guide driver made me feel safe on our entire half day tour. Food is also included, they would let you try Cambodian noodles too. I highly recommend this tour to everyone!
