Gets you to the heart of the food scene in PP - Great tour with Phat. We are only in PP for 24hrs, so wanted to try and get to the heart of the local food scene. Phat was excellent (as was the tuc tuc driver) we visited many family run local restaurants and tried a variety of local dishes. On our own we would have never tried all these places and foods, although we avoided insects etc!! We finished walking around a night market, where all the traders were preparing many different food, fish, duck, sweets etc, and a cocktail at a ‘sky bar’ over the market. Phat was great talking to us about many aspects of life in PP and wider Cambodia.

A Fantastic Introduction to Khmer Food. - Lee was an enthusiastic and very friendly guide, and this was a brilliant introduction to Khmer food, how to flavour it and how to eat it. He took us to long established restaurants known for their quality rice noodles, rice pancakes and fried noodles, and then for three main course dishes. All were delicious and we also squeezed in a walk around near the Independence Monument. Beer and water were freely available throughout. The biggest eye opener was the street traders around the Russian Market where we were shown foods you would never see in the West being sold in decidedly unhygienic conditions, but a great experience nevertheless. The only negative were the deserts. They didn't appeal, but we still tried them just in case we were wrong... We weren't!! We finished the evening with cocktails in a sky bar overlooking the street traders around Russian Market before being whisked back to our hotel by our ever attentive and careful Tuc Tuc driver. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would recommend doing this 4hr tour with Lee.

Wonderful experience - Our guide, Phat was great, very courteous. Experiencing life with the locals is the best way to see a new country. The price was worth it.

Wonderful evening of food, history, culture, and stories! - I always choose some food tours for any place I go to, even if I have been there before. I love seeing and tasting a city through a local’s eyes and tastebuds. I didn’t realise my stay in Cambodia almost completely overlapped with a public holiday that would mean that many places closed down, so I was very lucky to get to go on tour with Yi and Kingdom of Wanderlust Cambodia! Yi showed me yummy local dishes that I never would have been able to pick on my own as there are far too many vendors and too many options to choose from. :-) Everything was fresh and delicious and even though the food was great, I think I enjoyed the stories even more! Yi’s knowledge of history, food, and culture is impressive and I felt like I learned a lot. He was also happy to share personal experiences of his life and travels and I felt like I was hanging out with a new friend. :-) I will definitely be in touch on my next trip to Cambodia to discuss your tours in other places! Thank you again for such a fun night! :-)

Delicious local food - come hungry! - Lee was a very informative and fun tour guide. He took us to 5 different places - each excellent in their own way. Our teenage sons loved all the food and we thought the quality of the food was exceptional and the explanations of both the food and general Cambodian culture were amazing. Thank you Lee for making it a great evening. Come hungry!! We highly recommend.

Great way to learn about Cambodian food - This gave you a great smorgasbord of Cambodian food, as well as insight into how Cambodians enjoy their food and their lives in general. You'll travel to several spots by tuk tuk which you probably wouldn't find on your own and try a range of great foods from noodle soups to bahn xeo to curry. You end up at a dessert stall at the market where you'll learn about the various desserts and pick some to try at an out of the way bar with a great view. Well worth it.
