We had a great private tour of Sihanoukville with Mr Chhum! He spoke very good English and provided interesting insight and knowledge of all of the sites we visited. Our driver took great care of us with chilled water and moist cloths to wipe away the perspiration. He made sure the car was nearby and cooled off as we entered at each site. Highly recommend this tour!
I had an amazing time on my excursion! My guide, Chhum, was wonderful. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, giving me an insight into Cambodian culture. I went on this excursion as a solo female traveller, and there were no other guests; it was only the guide and me. I felt comfortable and safe at all times. I would highly recommend this company, specifically Chhum, if you’re looking for a wholesome, relaxed day trip!
