Start with a 9:30 AM tuk-tuk pickup, then visit a local Battambang market with an English-speaking guide to choose fresh ingredients.

“Vichet was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide who took us on a tour that was far more wide-ranging than we expected, covering around 7km. In addition to several landmark sites, we also saw many fascinating places that showed off the reality of living in in Phnom Penh. What we didn't expect was so many food samples including sticky rice deserts, sugar cane water and nom banh chok. We were very tired having only arrived in Cambodia that afternoon from the UK, but thoroughly enjoyed our hidden gems tour with Vichet. Thank you!”
