00:09The guide Nao Sook was informative and very knowledgeable.
00:13I learned a lot during the visit, and I would highly recommend him for any tour.
00:18He was so accommodating and shared a lot of tips for our visit.
00:23We were so fortunate to have been assigned Mr. Nao Sook as our guide for this tour.
00:30He is literally a walking encyclopedia of history and had a huge knowledge of Cambodian, Indian and Southeast Asian history,
00:38world literature and etymology of Sanskrit words.
00:42Gained a deep understanding of each place with patient and elaborate explanation.
00:48For a small extra charge, the company was kind enough to accommodate our last-minute request to change the included
00:55tuk-tuk option to an air-conditioned van on this super-hot day.
00:58Ask for Mr. Nao Sook for the Phnom Penh tour.
01:04Sri was my tour guide.
01:06It was a wonderful experience with her bringing us to the prison museum as well as the Killing Fields Museum
01:13as she recalled those tough times during her childhood.
01:16However, Sri said we should also see the good things such as the royal palace if we have the time
01:22during our trip.
01:23Sri also explained about the central market to us, and showed us which are the more expensive items that we
01:30should avoid.
01:31The tour was in general a good experience should you want a more in-depth explanation to the history of
01:37Phnom Penh.
01:39Nice tour with full-day itinerary visiting multiple attractions in Phnom Penh, saving time.
01:46Our guide was Nao Sook who spoke pretty good English.
01:50He was very responsive, will text you the night before and in the morning prior to coming which is to
01:55be commended, as it let participants know what slash when to expect.
02:00Pickup was punctual, logistics was very smooth and we moved around in a nice cozy and clean minivan.
02:08Killing Fields and Tuol Slang are must visits in Phnom Penh if you are into history or just want to
02:14understand more about the country, though it may be considered dark for some.
02:18Russian market was okay mainly for buying souvenirs but still interesting.
02:23Can get your chromas here with so many shops selling them.
02:28Central market seems more of selling jewelry, watch, sunglasses etc.
02:34At the inner part, and the external circle would be the local grocers.
02:39Building has an interesting design, and good to see the locals' everyday life bread and butter buying their necessities at
02:46the market.
02:47Hello, travelers visiting Phnom Penh for the first time tilde.
02:51No need to talk much.
02:54Apply for a historical trip to Phnom Penh right now.
02:58Apply and you can become a smart traveler.
03:01If you have Nao Sook as your guide, you can be a happy traveler.
03:06Have you applied yet?
03:08Hurry!
03:09That's all for my review.
03:12I learned a lot about the history of Phnom Penh today.
03:15I enjoyed my first local Cambodian meal and made happy memories with Nao Sook.
03:21I hope you experience it too.
03:24Mr. Nao Sook was a fantastic tour guide all throughout the eight-hour tour.
03:31His deep knowledge of the sites in the Killing Fields and the Genocide Museum shows when he is able to
03:37not only recount the details of the events that transpired,
03:40but connect them to the periods before the Khmer Rouge and the current government.
03:45Furthermore, he is factual with the way he presents and is cognizant of any remarks or opinions that may antagonize
03:52any nationality.
03:53I asked him questions about geography, politics, and religion, to which he responded with nuance and clarity with great English
04:02-speaking capability.
04:04Perhaps the cherry on top is that if you look at the way he cares for us, the tourists, local
04:10vendors and nature, he planted some trees in the Killing Fields, he's also clearly a kind-hearted Cambodian man.
04:18I recommend this tour as one of your first activities after landing, and I highly recommend requesting for Mr. Nao
04:26Sook personally.
04:27I recommend this tour as one of your first activities as one of your first activities.
