Excellent guide - I booked a half day tour with Sam in Phnom Penh. Sam offered to pick me up in a car or, as I was alone, on a motorcycle. I chose a motorcycle. This was fun. Considering the subject matter, I was initially hesitant to book this tour. However, in the end, I was happy I took the tour, and even more so that I had Sam as my guide. As Sam accompanied me to each site, I listened intently to her deeply moving narration. She knew when to present facts and when to allow me time to silently contemplate. After the museum we visited the Russian market and shared some snacks. I enjoyed my day with Sam She is knowledgeable, funny, heartfelt, and made this a memorable experience. She also offered msny recommendations for my time in Cambodia I highly recommend Sam.

The Killing Fields and the Khmer Rouge - I hired a guide called Sam Sandra to show me the Killing fields. She gave a very informative tour of the site but also a historical lesson about the Khmer Rouge. She was very good explaining everything to me. I walked away with a much better understanding of this period of Cambodia History thanks to Sam Sandra. I will hire her again when I return to Cambodia in October 2025

Excellent tour! - Had a really good tour with Sam as my guide. Sam contacted me prior my arrival and arranged a pick-up from the airport which I thought was a really good way to start. Had a lovely pho breakfast and headed out for the tour. Very comfortable vehicle (thanks Mr. Rom) and I thought the tour was very informative and interesting. Not rushed at all. After the tour, I was dropped of at the hotel and given pointers as what I should see at the palace. Great job Sam and thanks for making my trip great!

Surprisingly good guide! - Sandra was by far the best tour guide we had during our 10 day tour through Vietnam and Cambodia! Her deep knowledge, story telling abilities and never ending enthusiasm for answering our questions made her a pleasure to deal with! Can highly recommend her. And visiting the genocide museum and killing fields has exceeded my initially low expectations. I now think it is important for young people to front the brutality of the past and hopefully avoid such low points in the future!

Knowledgeable Guide - Flexible Tour - Sok was my guide and he is well educated in all things relating to the period of the Khmer Rouge. He is also very passionate and personally involved in supporting the maintenance of the sites through his own efforts. I had a need for a quicker tour and Sok and the driver did a great job getting me around, but I did not feel rushed and was able to still absorb much of the information. Highly recommend.
