Free Walking Tours in Phnom Penh

Martin was very knowledgeable on the history of the genocide and Cambodia in general. He explained everything fully and was open to questions, which he answered excellently. He was very passionate on the topic and communicated this well. He was understanding that this is a difficult topic and took his time to ensure we got the most out of it. Highly recommended!

The tour with Martin was very informative and well organized. He took the time to explain us the events before, during and after the genocide enacted by the Pol Pot regime in a way that I could make the connections between the events of this complex topic. I would absolutely recommend visiting the killing fields and prison with the tour to gain a deeper understanding of these tragic events as it is a very heavy topic and visiting these places is an intense experience. Although it is not a typical walking tour because you need to go to the destinations by car, Martin made use of this time to give us information in preparation for the visits. Overall, a very well planned and thought out tour!

Martin was very nice and provided us with many interesting insights. That we visited the markets and could try local food, was a nice addition to an already amazing tour! He also gave us valuable tips on what else we could do in the city. Definitely recommend if you want to see the citys landmarks and learn a lot about cambodian history.

Would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to learn about Cambodian history. The story of the Cambodian Genocide is a complicated one to explain, and yet Martin communicates it clearly and makes it feel much easier to understand. The tour far exceeded our expectations.

I signed up for this free walking tour on a whim . Our guide was fantastic. He walked us through the history of Cambodia and of the city itself in a way that actually stuck, connecting the monuments we were standing in front of to the bigger story of what this country has been through. We covered pretty much all the main sights, so if you are new in town this is a brilliant way to get your bearings before exploring on your own. What really made it, though, was the guide's energy. We were a small group, which meant there was room for questions and real conversation instead of just following an umbrella around. He kept everyone engaged the whole way through, and I honestly could not believe it when I checked my watch at the end. Three hours had gone by and it felt like ten minutes. If you are in Phnom Penh, do this tour. Bring water, wear comfortable shoes, and tip your guide well. They earn it.

Whenever I visit a new country I book my tours with this guruwalk, and in Cambodia the experience was truly special thanks to Martin. His knowledge of history is deep and shows in every detail he shares. Beyond that, his kind, attentive, and passionate way of being makes the tour unforgettable. He explains everything clearly, answers all questions with patience, and brings every temple and every story to life. An exceptional guide, 100% recommended. I was very satisfied.

My experience was great, and I highly recommend anyone who visits Phnom Penh to sign up for this tour! Martin was very knowledgeable, I won't lie I grilled him quite a bit about life in PP hahaha, but he was more than willing to answer any question that I had. we went way beyond just the route that he planned to also talk about jobs and livelihoods in PP, housing, studies and university, and many other topics. even though it's my fourth time in PP, this tour still opened my eyes. whether you're just here for a layover, 1 or 2 day stopover before going to another province, or anything else, I recommend this tour.

I've done several tours in Cambodia and every guide has talked about this country's tragic past but Martin provided the most comprehensive lesson--he's a walking encyclopedia!!! Overall, the tour was incredibly somber and insightful. I highly recommend it!!!!!

Mr. Martin is a brilliant and knowledgeable guide who brings history to life. We thoroughly enjoyed his candid insights and would have taken more of his tours if we had the time. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Phnom Penh

Martin doesn’t just tell you the dark and sad history of his country. He gets you to think about the depths and complexities of all the forces that may have influenced the direction of Cambodia. You can read books or google Cambodias history, but none of what you read will replace the depth of information you learn in Martin’s tour.
