Enjoyed our night out a places we would not have gone otherwise
NDSuzieQ, October 2026
Really enjoyed our food tour. Was not able to book directly through their website from US because credit card kept getting declined, but the same tour is available on Viator so I was able to book it that way. Only 4 on our tour which was great. I feel like the amount of food was perfect. I was definitely full at the end but was able to try everything. Some dishes better than others, but I liked the variety. We tried 4 of 8 things that I had flagged as must try while in Cambodia so that worked for me. Communication was good and they showed up right on time at my hotel.

Food experience with Jackson
ralphtH1048CH, October 2026
Jackson our tour guide was amazing in his knowledge of local cuisine with a sprinkling of Cambodian history. Food was great (and safe) giving us both the flavours and the environment where it is commonly served.
