Live Traditional Night Music and Dance of Phnom Penh - This tour was a customised tour to the live night music of Phnom Penh. My tour guide, Sam is extremely knowledgeable of the city. This tour took us to 2 venues, The first venue was the Music 60 70's Restaurant and Bar, a fantastic venue, low key, full of ambience and a very authentic Khmer culture. The music was traditional Khmer performed by a talented band and singers, with also dancing on the floor. You can stop by for a full meal or just buy a drink whilst enjoying the music and dance. Staff are very friendly. More upmarket was the next venue, Yang Pov Restaurant and Bar Riverside. A classy environment. Again great live music with a fully featured talented band and a host of singers. A dance floor allows guests to join in with dancing and the waiters and waitresses will also participate. Lots of fun. There is plenty of ambience, with shifting lights and theatrical fog imbuing the dim and absorbing atmosphere. Again, guests are free to just order drinks or dine on the sumptuous menu available. Overall a great time and a highly recommended tour. Thanks to Sam for organising and hosting this tour.

Our Favorite Tour Guide in Cambodia! - I would select Sam as my favored tour guide for any selected tour in Cambodia. We went on his Oudong Mountain Tour and Temples Tour. It enabled us to see how Cambodians live outside Phenom Penn. Sams knowledge of Cambodian history and culture is unsurpassed. He maximizes your time in transit with stories and history lessons which provide a context for the temples and ancient ruins you will visit. His English is excellent and he readily responds to your questions. We have been fortunate to spend seventeen days in Cambodia and this was clearly the best tour we had on this trip. Next time we will definitely take his food tour and any other tour he facilitates!

Delicious and fun - Sam is awesome! We did his evening food tour. He is warm, funny, and personable. And very knowledgeable! We liked that he didn’t just go from food place to food place. Rather, he took us by tuk-tuk and walking to sights and explained them in-between meals. The tastes were typical Cambodian fare, which is what we wanted. Delicious! Even the fried spiders and silkworms were tasty! We returned to one of the local vendors on our own the next evening—it was as good as we remembered. Highly recommend!

An Unforgettable Evening Food Tour with Mr. Sam in Phnom Penh - I had the pleasure of joining an evening food tour with Mr. Sam in Phnom Penh tonight, and it was an incredible experience. We sampled a variety of local foods and traveled by open-air tuk-tuk, which was wonderfully refreshing with the evening breeze. Mr. Sam was exceptionally flexible with the timing, adjusting our stops and the order of activities to suit the weather when it rained heavily at one point. His extensive local knowledge and history insights added great depth to the tour. I wouldn't hesitate to join another tour with him on my next visit or recommend him to others. He was always considerate, spoke great English, and was happy to share his personal experiences and discuss any topic. Thank you, Mr. Sam, for an unforgettable evening!

Very interesting and informative - Sam picked us up from the hotel. He was very friendly and polite. First we tried the rice noodles which were very nice. We went on a walk around the russian market trying fruit and looking at the many array of vegetables. Any questions we asked sam answered us and was very knowledgeable. There were only 3 of us on this tour so it seemed very personal. We throughly enjoy ourselves and saw many things and places we would never had seen if not for taking this tour. The food at the restaurant was absolutely lovely. We would highly recommend this tour in phnom penh. Thankyou sam.

10 out of 10 Recommend! - Mr. Sam was my guide on Feb 7. I purposely didn’t eat lunch for this evening tour. We started a little early which I didn’t mind. The first stop was almost next door to my hotel. There were two dishes. Along the way we stopped by a hotel and a few other sites- a mini guided tour to add! I was provided cold water. Went to the Night Market for ice cream. I wanted boba tea, and Mr. Sam and driver took me to get one. He asked if I wanted to go to a stop for sightseeing after the tour, but I was getting tired. There were five stops in all. The pork on a stick was probably my favorite. Even though I went hungry, I could not finish all the foods.
