Customer Reviews
Leap, our guide, and Pheap, our driver, made our morning really enjoyable. We learnt so much in the time we spent with them both. The ox cart ride through a Cambodian village was great and something we hadn’t done before. We got to see a variety of different houses and a lush landscape. It was interesting to see the market and use some of the foods we saw there to then prepare and cook our own meal. The lady who taught us was patient, welcoming and helpful. After the meal, we got to enjoy the botanical gardens, where they had a huge variety of plants. Leap knew so much about all the plants and trees and their many uses in cooking, construction etc. This tour is definitely worth booking. We’ve had a great time and didn’t feel rushed at any point.
Did the evening class, was an authentic experience and a good way to get a feel for the village life, our tour guide Phearom was very knowledgeable and excellent English, he gave us a new appreciation of a Cambodian lifestyle. The chef Mai was very friendly and easy going, teaching us their village style cooking with delicious and fresh ingredients.
