“I had an excellent morning exploring some roads (and markets) less travelled around Phnom Penh with Monyca. She was well-versed in the stories behind the art and the places we visited. Monyca was a great conversation partner as well. The market we went to (BKK market) is not well known to tourists and is quiet in the morning so it’s a great way to try Cambodian treats without the crowds. The breakfast stops were great and the food is adjusted to your dietary needs. There’s also a sweet little surprise stop at the tail end of the tour!”
