Essential Free walking tours of Phnom Penh

The tour was extremely informative and gave us a good and detailed overview of a historical complex period. I think it is really useful to understand the history of Cambodia as well as its present. Highly recommended!

The 4 hours with Martin flew by because he was very knowledgable. We learned a lot about the history of the country and he was able to answer every question we had. I definetely recomend to do this tour!

Martin ist ein toller Tourguide. Wenn sich was an der Tour ändert, wird man sofort von ihm benachrichtigt.

Martin is an amazing guide! It was great to learn about the history of the country. We highly recommend this tour!

Thank you for all you do Martin! Very important to learn and a must when visiting Cambodia. I cant imagine how hard this is to talk about everyday.

Interesting and informative tour. Would recommend to anyone coming to Phnom Penh! Martin is a great guide and can explain very clearly the complicated Cambodian past.

Great tour with lots of great information about Cambodia’s history. Martin was very knowledgable! Awesome experience.

A great experience - a must if you are visiting the city. Martin is exceptional.

The history behind both S21 prison and killing field is heartbreaking. Martin was great, ran a very informative tour.

Excellent tour from Martin, he’s very informative and full of information on the history of his country. 5 stars, with 4 stars for the ‘Entertainment’ category, simply because the tour we did was not necessarily meant to be entertaining. (Killing fields and Genocide are not subjects of entertainment,) Martin is a great guide, highly recommended.

amazing tour ! very informative

Martin is a very talented tour guide with lots of knowledge and passion for the history of his country. I would highly recommend having a tour with Martin if you want to learn about the dark impact the Khmer rouge has had on Cambodia with his very good memory of exact dates. The driver was also great, offering us cold water after each stop.

Martin our tour guide was incredible - extremely knowledgeable and his passion was very inspiring and admirable. I highly recommend this tour to everybody who visits Cambodia. It’s important as tourists that we understand and are aware of the history of the places we are visiting.

Martin is a great guide who can help you understand the complex history of his country. He is deeply knowledgeable and is always ready to answer any questions. He’s really passionate about his profession. I have done both of his tours, and they are a must, especially for those who know very little about Cambodia. Thank you, Martin. Excellent job!

The tour with Martin was really great, he is an exceptional tour guide with so much knowledge about his countries history! The topics covered in the tour are difficult to talk about, but important to learn and Martin makes understanding the history easier, he speaks excellent English. I would definitely recommend his tour instead of just visiting the sites and getting the headsets, to really understand the complexities of the history from a local.

My friends and I joined Martin's tour after a very tiring but fulfilling (3h) walking tour the day before. Today's tour was packed with nuggets of information on the genocide and the atrocities committed by the then regime. Martin was able to deliver in simple English in a compelling manner. Highly recommended for history buffs.

Martin is a great guide. I enjoyed his first tour so much that I booked his second one right after. He knows a lot about Cambodia’s history and explains it in a way that’s easy to follow. You can tell he cares about sharing his country’s past. The tours cover difficult but important topics, and he handles them with respect. Definitely one of the better tours I’ve done—worth doing if you want to understand Cambodia better.

This is such a pivotal part of Cambodian history that every visitor needs to learn about, so I feel like the best way to do that is with an actual guide like Martin, not just on your own with an audio guide. It was harrowing to see the Killing Fields and the S21 prison in person, but Martin is a fantastic guide and took us through these places and helped us understand the story behind it. It's tragic and difficult to fathom what everyone in his country has suffered through under the brutal Khmer Rouge regime and amazing how far Cambodians have come. Martin has such deep knowledge on the topic and we also got to meet survivors, which really added a personal aspect to it all. I have nothing but utmost admiration for Cambodians and am very grateful for Martin for sharing his knowledge and guiding us on this tour. This was my second tour with Martin after attending the walking tour of the city the day before and I'm so glad I got to join this tour as well.

The tour was extremely informative and gave a great insight into the recent history of Cambodia. My guide Martin was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout. Would highly recommend.

Martin is a very good guide, that knows a lot about history. I learned a lot. Thank you so much!

Really interesting experience- and a difficult subject for the guru to explain as it did require a bit of a history lesson. This was done carefully and with plenty of time for questions- to ensure that everyone understood what they were seeing.. definitely recommend Martin again.

Martin is a great guide and took us on an emotional tour through Cambodias recent history. Very informative and well planned. Recommend!

Martin was a very informative guide and had great knowledge about Khmer Rouge History. Well organised tour and would definitely recommend to other travellers.

Martin was a great guide! Very friendly, helpful and funny. He gave us lots of useful information that I think you'd miss on the audio tour, plus you save money by not paying for the audio guide. $5 for transport is cheaper than taking your own tuk tuk and had air conditioning and water available. All in all a very informative tour about a pretty difficult topic. He also does a city tour which was interesting too.

We did two tours with Mr. MARTIN: city walk and killing field. Please do not go with anyone but him. I am very interested in history and I don't think any guide can be compared to him. He is so informative, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic that I keep repeating all the information in my head, so memorize all the facts and nuances of the past and how it intertwined with the current time. I am almost sure that you will not get all the facts from other guides in terms of the depth of information. But on the other note, it's not overwhelming, it is very well paced tours. Thank you, Mr. MARTIN.
