Great Tour, Martin provided a good mix of history, life experience of the Cambodian people as well as his own experiences.

What a fantastic guide and tour around some of the major sites of Phnom Penh. Martin was an excellent guide, providing great pre tour communications via WhatsApp, speaking excellent English and passing on the history and stories of Phnom Penh as we toured the city. He was funny and entertaining one of the best guides we’ve had on our trip so far. Nothing was too much trouble for him. If we spotted something that took our interest he happily diverted to let us get a better view, wander around and take pictures. The trip was taken at a sedate pace, no dash from location to location, but with time to absorb everything around us, chat to locals and feel like we were experiencing something genuine. Martin introduced us to coconut waffles and yellow and orange jackfruit which he purchased fresh during the tour to share with the group. After the tour he also provided us with some personalised recommendations for restaurants near to our hotel which have proved very useful. Thank you Martin for a wonderful introduction to your city.

Very entertaining and informative tour. Learned a lot and laughed a lot. He even bought us local waffle (with coconut inside) and 2 kinds of jackfruit to try. Highly recommended.

Martin was very knowledgeable and provided the right amount of information and was entertaining. His dedication to his job and guests were evident. He surprised me by the planned snacks. I recommend everyone to do this tour to get familiarized with Phnom Penh and learn about today’s and past living style here from a local. Thank you Martin!

Martin hat ein umfassendes Wissen über die Geschichte seines Landes. Das war beeindruckend. Alle Fragen wurden beantwortet. Ein sehr sympathischer Guide mit bestem Englisch.

Martin was a wonderful tour guide! He shared about the history and daily life of Phnom Penh. He was cheerful and even made us try snacks from the market! I highly recommend this tour 😊

De highlights gezien maar vooral heel veel informatie over de geschiedenis van Cambodja en het boedisme (we hebben zelfse de 102 jarige patriarch kunnen zien) gehoord. Ook een lokale markt bezocht. Als het goed is krijgen we nog wat tips voor wat eettentjes. We doen dit soort tours regelmatig en tot nog toe alleen maar heel goede ervaringen. Het is een perfecte manier om een stad te leren kennen. Martin, dank je wel!

Martin ist seit fast 20 Jahren in der Touristikbranche und hat zuvor als Guide für TUI in Laos, Kambodscha und Vietnam gearbeitet. Nach COVID hat er sich entschlossen in Phnom Penh sein eigenes Business zu starten und bietet mehrere Touren an. Als Kind war er 10 Jahre Schüler bei einem Mönch, daher das gute Englisch und das Wissen rund um Buddhismus und Kultur. Eine der besten Touren die wir je hatten. Jeden Dollar wert.

Martin gave a great tour, informative, fun and very enjoyable.

I had the incredible luck of taking two consecutive days of tours with Martin (city tour and genocide tour), and I am truly lost for words to describe how amazing the experience was!! This wasn't just a tour with “pointing to the building and mentioning the date when it was founded”- it was a masterfully crafted, passionate immersion into history and culture!! In short, he is the “complete package”: the brain of a scholar, the soul of a storyteller, and the heart of a gracious host. From the very first minute, it was evident that we are with true professional and expert. His knowledge is not just deep, it's presented with such a clarity and detail that complex historical narratives become fascinating and easy to grasp. He has a unique talent for building logical connections between events, people, and places, turning a flow of information into a captivating story. What truly stands him out - is his infectious passion. He is genuinely on fire for his work, and that energy is contagious. You don't just listen, you feel engaged and excited alongside him. And let me not forget to mention his great sense of humor – there were moments of delightful laughter that made the journey even more enjoyable. To the guide: Thank you for these two days. Your work is inspiring, and you have a true gift. Please never stop sharing your passion with the world—it makes a difference, with guides like you people will fall in love with Cambodia and will want to come back. To future travelers: If you are looking for an experience that will educate, inspire, and leave you with a heart full of joy and a mind full of wonder, look no further - book his tour without hesitation. You will not regret it, you will thank yourself for making this brilliant choice! Highest possible recommendation, worth every penny!!

This was an amazing tour. It was very informative and our guide Martin was very knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. We were in a small group of 5 and were not rushed. Martin supplied the transport and lots of cold bottled water. It was very sad to see how man can treat each other and although harrowing we were pleased we went on this tour.

Excellent tour from start to finish. Martin was very passionate and knowledgable and I walked away knowing a lot more than I did, originally.

Great and very interesting tour!

The tour everyone should be doing! You get to learn and understand the full and actual history of what lead to the rise and fall of the Khmer Rouge (In contradiction to the audio guide that only tells you what happened at the locations). Martin explained everything with great knowledge and very detailed information. This tour is 4h about lots of history, politics and the human condition. I’m really glad I did the tour because this was the best free tour I’ve ever booked. Thank you for everything Martin!

The tour was a great start to exploring Phnom Penh. Martin is very knowledgeable about the city’s history, the country’s history and everything worth visiting in Cambodia. He can answer all your questions. This tour was definitely one of the most interesting ones I’ve had while in Cambodia. Thank you Martin!

Martin is an excellent host, I could not reccommend his tour enough! With his extensive knowledge, great sense of humor and honesty he really provided a well balanced, informative and fun tour. He talked about both history and the present, everyday life, we could ask him about anything! He even bought us some local snacks along the way and provided great further reccommendations for our trip. 10/10

Excelente guía! Explicaciones muy buenas y muy completas, y a pesar de es un tour bastante extenso lo hizo muy ameno. Lo recomendaría sin duda!

Highly recommend this tour of street art and food highlights. You get to see Phnom Penh from a different perspective and different neighborhoods. Martin was a teacher and enjoys questions from attendees. He is an excellent guide and his wife drove us expertly around the City. We went to many food venues and tried many different foods. We were so full. Please remember that these guides depend on tips and he paid for all the food. We tipped $35 each and consider it a bargain compared to other tours. Martin was so good as we actually booked him for a private tour for few days out of Phnom Penh. Highly recommend. We have now taken all his walkjng tours and booked a private tour too.

One of the best guides I have met in east Asia, really recommend!

Martin was an excellent guide, warm, charming and gave us alot of detailed information. Highly recommended to anyone traveling to Phnom Penh to appreciate the history, culture. We learnt alot, so thank you!

Martin knows his stuff and injects humour to lighten things up! It was a well managed tour that covered a lot of ground.

Excellent walking tour with Martin who is a very professional and knowledgeable tour guide

This tour is probably one of the best tour that we did. Everything was included, a bit of history, explanation of religion, architecture, food, culture etc. We learned a lot and on top of that Martin is a very nice and funny guide we had a great time with him and his wife. Thank you

The guide Martin grom Phnom Penh was very professional and entertaining. We have learned a lot from him. This city tour is something we highly recommend.

Great walking tour
