Essential Free walking tours of Phnom Penh

Unbelievable how much information Martin provided to us and he was very passionate about everything! I can only recommend this tour

Martin fue muy agradable. Se nota que sabe mucho y que realmente siente lo que está contando. Fue muy agradable conocer parte de la historia del país contada por un local. Muchas gracias! Recomiendo!

Martin, unser Guide, war einfach unglaublich. Wir haben sehr viel über das Schreckensregime der Roten Khmer gelernt und geschichtliche Hintergrundinformationen bekommen, die uns erläuterten wie diese Geschichte überhaupt möglich war. Es war eine sehr sachliche, aber mir sehr zu Herzen gehende Führung, obwohl dies in keinster Weise beabsichtigt war. Ein absolutes MUSS wenn man Phmom Penh besucht. Besser als Martin kann man es nicht machen ...

Outstanding tour albeit with a heavy subject matter. Martin did a fantastic job of presenting the complexities of the dark, recent past. If you are in Phnom Penh, you should really consider this to tour. You will remember this one.

Amazing tour. Well explained recent history of Cambodia in the context of world. We also saw killing fields and Museum of Holocaust. Highly recommend.

Martin has a great understanding of the history of Cambodia & was able to give us part of the background to such a horrific period for the Cambodian people. The sites visited are well preserved & respectful to the people who lost their lives.

Superintressante Tour die man auf keinen Fall auslassen sollte. Unser Guide konnte viele Zusammenhänge aufzeigen und ich hätte ohne das vermittelnde Backgraundwissen von Martin von diesem Ausflug nicht viel profitiert. So war es hochintrrssant. Vielen Dank.

He was very knowledgeable and spoke English very well. Was on time for pick, very well organized

Highly recommended. Martin is fantastic. His English is excellent and he has a deep knowledge of History. You can tell Martin loves his work by the quality of this tour.

Martin was an incredibly good guide. Very informative and enthuastic, exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful in every respect. A guide that cannot be faulted in anyway. Thank you Martin

Martin’s obvious in-depth knowledge and personal connections to the horrors of the genocide added greatly to our understanding of this terrible time in Cambodia’s history. He is so passionate about the subject matter and he is genuinely committed to ensuring his guests understand not only what happened, but why it happened.

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 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.

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.

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!

Martin was a very knowledgeable and passionate tour guide. We learned a ton of Cambodian history through out this tour which was very eye opening!

Martin is an extremely knowledgeable and articulate guide. I highly recommend taking a tour with him and learning all about the complex history of Cambodia.

Expérience plus qu’enrichissante et saisissante avec des commentaires très pertinents sur l’histoire récente du Cambodge. Vivement recommandé ❗️

Did not finish a 4

A must. Do this tour.

Nos ha gustado mucho el tour. Martin ha sido super agradable y ha estado atento a todo. Es un tour muy recomendable si quieres aprender de la historia de Camboya.

I did the Killing Fields and S21 prison tour with Martin and I enjoyed it very much. Prior to the tour, the communication was smooth and on point. Similar was the transport to/from the locations. He gave us a lot of information about the context, history, what happened, and helped us understand much better what was the history of the locations and significance of what occurred. I enjoyed the tour and recommend.
