“Kim was our guide for the day, and we had an amazing time exploring markets, food and street art. The food was excellent, giving us a different perspective to dining in Cambodia. Kim was very knowledgeable and was able to connect the street art to Cambodian history giving us a unique insight we couldn’t have read for ourselves. As an extra bonus we got to do a pepper tasting, learning the difference between the various peppers. Highly recommend going on this tour with Kim for a flavorful and insightful afternoon or morning.”
