Ron was an outstanding tour guide. He described the local cuisine in incredible detail, which was very impressive. Every dish we tried was delicious, so it was hard to rank! His driving was safe, and his English was excellent. At the end of the tour, we had beers and even tried some bugs; this pushed me outside my comfort zone, but Ron gently encouraged me without forcing me.

Taking a food tour was a great way to experience Siem Reap and Cambodia. Bopha was an exceptional guide, explaining each dish in detail, explaining its history, ensuring everything was clean, and taking care of us throughout the entire process. The tuk-tuk transportation between stops was smooth and efficient. Finally, we collected our own bugs from the local market and enjoyed them with a beer at a bar; it was so much fun! I highly recommend this tour. The food was delicious, and we sampled flavors we probably wouldn't have discovered on our own.

A fantastic food tasting tour and a wonderful way to explore parts of Siem Reap you might not normally see. Our guide’s name escapes me, but she was extremely friendly and enthusiastic.

Mr. Ron was a fantastic guide for our food tour! He and our driver picked us up from our hotel by tuk-tuk, and we were lucky enough to have a private tour just for the two of us. The portions at each stop were generous, so we had to pace ourselves to enjoy everything! The food was excellent everywhere. Since there were only two participants, Ron took the time to explain and demonstrate each dish in detail. It was also very comfortable to sit together and enjoy the food; there was no rushing or being left behind. Cold water and other local drinks, including tea and beer depending on the stop, were offered. The tour concluded with a short visit to the local market, where you can buy insects like sea worms, grasshoppers, crickets, and small frogs, and then try them with a beer at a pub. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend it!

I mentioned in advance that I was vegetarian, but at one of the stops they served meat, so I couldn’t eat there. Ending the tour with a beer would be nicer in a livelier spot, especially when alone, rather than a quiet tucked-away lane. The chive rice cakes were delicious, and the Made in Cambodia market was charming. I skipped one of the eateries by choice, and personally, I could have done without the nightly local market, though that may vary for others.
