An excellent way to see the sites all listed if you're short on time. Our guide Ka was amazing, and so knowledgeable about everything to with the sites we saw, and Cambodia in general. It IS a lot of driving, as it's about 3 hours each way, but it's a great time to catch a nap with the early start time. Would highly recommend if you want a taste of the coast of Cambodia, which is absolutely stunning.

Spent the day with my husband, but due to the lack of attendees, the driver arranged a trip to the destination with a smaller car, a Prius—which was surprisingly neat and comfortable. Went to Phnom Chhnogk cave temple, Kampot pepper farm, the market at Kep and spending a pretty relaxing day. Well much needed after staying at the city in my opinion. And our guide had taken us to a seaside restaurant with delicious crabs!
