Hey there, my name is Martin, welcome to Cambodia!
I completed my high school education in 2003 and began my career as a teacher at the Remote Area Kids Organization. I worked as a Tuk Tuk driver, guiding tourists around the temples in the Angkor Archaeological Park.
After graduating in 2010, I undertook a six-month training program with the Ministry of Tourism to become a professional guide.
Upon completing my training, I began working as a local guide, leading tourists across Cambodia In 2012, I advanced my career by becoming a Group Tour Leader with Intrepid, an Australia-based worldwide tour company. I led tours throughout Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia until November 23, 2019, when the COVID-19 hit.
In 2022,I returned to the tourism industry with renewed passion. I am deeply committed to sharing my extensive knowledge and love for Cambodian culture, history, and traditions with visitors.
My work allows me to connect with people from around the world and foster meaningful friendships.
Thank you for considering me as your guide.
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!
