Excellent tour of Phnom Penh - This was an excellent insight into Phnom Penh and Cambodias history. This complimented other tours we have also done whilst in Cambodia and now we have a greater appreciation of the richness of Cambodias history. Sina is a wonderful, intelligent and happy tour guide. We were lucky to have him.

Absolutely fantastic heart-felt tour. - This truly is a magnificent tour taking you to all the important sites of Phnom Penh, including the Royal Palace, Wat Phnom, the National Museum, and most significantly, the Killing Fields and the Genocide Museum. Riding in the comfort of a Tuk Tuk, with open panoramic views of the city and the fresh wind to cool down the temperatures, we first went to Wat Phnom. This is a magnificent temple situated in the heart of and soaring above the city. Climbing the steps we entered the temple and steeped ourselves in it's beautiful and serene surrounds, adorned with many Buddhas, and laid with silver paving and murals above on the high ceiling. From here we ventured out of the city along newly minted roads to the Killing Fields, a dark and tragic moment in Cambodian history covering the despotic rule of the disgraced leader Pol Pot. Be prepared to be moved as this really is sombre affair. The fields are laden with the bones and mass graves of innocent victims that were tortured and executed, men, women and even children, peasants, intellectuals, even foreigners caught in amongst the turmoil of the period. This truly felt like Year Zero, as historians sometimes refer to as. In the middle of the Killing Fields is a stark reminder of the innocence of the victims in a brutal period of history, a tall concrete, commemorative stupor, housing the bones of the executed, standing metres tall overlooking fields. Truly sad and sombre. A reminder to all of the sacrifices past generations made for the future of those to follow. From there we rode back into the city, to a place equally stark if not moreso, S-21 detention centre, now preserved as the Genocide Museum. Here within the grounds is the place of torture, interrogation and ultimately execution of many innocent civilians. There are rooms filled with photos of those who perished, including their remains, instruments of torture, paintings of the torture process. Even more ominous, rooms that were converted to house makeshift individual prison cells. The myriad of tiny individual brick and wooden cells contained in these rooms underscores the terror and claustrophobic nature of the detention centre and this period of history. The museum also contains the graves of the last 14 victims to perish just before the National Liberation Army arrived. From here the tour continued on to the Royal Palace grounds, a magnificent space adorned with the most treasured and beautiful buildings to grace Phnom Penh, laced in gold, silver pavestones, the most exquisite furniture and decorations. There are many buildings on the site, each a sight to behold. A must see for any traveller visiting Phnom Penh. Above all else the quality of this tour was made possible by my tour guide and operator, Sina. I can't thank him enough for his guidance. His knowledge of the sites is impeccable, going into great detail the history, culture and social significance of each that we visited. But most significantly his heart-felt descriptions of the Killing Fields and the Genocide Museum really conveyed to me the spirit and tragedy of the times. Whilst audio-guides are available on the site, in no way could they have conveyed to me the feelings that Sinan did. A fantastic tour. My most sincere gratitude to Sina for hosting.

10/10 TUK TUK tour. - Excellent from start to finish. The guide was very knowledgeable, spoke good English , always professional and informative when describing the sights we were seeing. This Tul Tuk tour is a full day and in my opinion the best way to see the city and its sights if you are short on time. 10/10

Above and beyond all expectations! - I cannot recommend this tour enough! It exceeded my expectations in every way. Mr Sina was an incredibly knowledgeable guide, he picked me up from the airport and we proceeded with a tour that he tailored to my needs, making sure I got to see as much as possible in the short space of time that I had, yet the pace was relaxed and I never felt rushed. Mr Sina had an impressive wealth of knowledge when it comes to his country's history and culture, as well as an excellent grasp of English, so he explains things perfectly and I learned far more than I anticipated. I was extremely happy with my tour, and if I visit Cambodia again I will be seeking out Mr Sina'a services before even considering any others.

Unforgettable Phnom Phen Experience. - We where picked up on time by Sina our tour guide for the full day tour of Phnom Phen. Sina greeted us and introduced himself with a great bright smile on his face, which by the way never changed throughout the whole day despite the extreme temperature of 39 degrees C. His explanations and knowledge where tremendous it did not leave any room for questions because all explained. We felt very safe with his driving in the horrible traffic of Phnom Phen. Sina is a great polite person and we recommend him highly for an unforgettable Phnom Phen experience.

Excellent - My experience with Sina was exceptional! He was not just a tuk tuk driver but also a knowledgeable guide, navigated the roads with skills. I accidentally double booked two tours in the same day and Sina was kind enough to change the date to suit us. He allowed us to carry our luggage in his tuk tuk during the tour and drop us at the airport which was not part of the tour. Thanks for going extra miles. Will definitely use him again.

Experience Phnom Penh up close with a Tuk Tuk - Sina responded really quickly when we contacted him. He picked us up promptly at 8am from our hotel. Offered us plenty of cold water during the day. He was a really carefully driver and flexed our itinerary. We did all the main sites and he explained traditional customs as well as the history of Cambodia. If you only have only one day in Phnom Penh this is great way to experience it from the street.. just awesome. … thanks again Sina :)

Superb City Guide - Extremely grateful to have had Sina as our guide for the day . (12.3.24) From easy booking to pre- trip communication , Sina is extremely professional. Arrived early, safe driver and extremely courteous. He is a wonderful guide to Phnom Penh and has an easy warm friendly manner. We learned a lot during this trip and he is a wonderful ambassador for his city. His English is perfect and clearly very thoughtful in how he describes each stop. We couldn’t have have asked for a better city guide and would 100% recommend him.
