    We unexpectedly joined another tour with Roy, an excellent and engaging local guide. Traveling through the countryside in a tuktuk was a wonderful way to take in the scenery. The stop at the pepper farm "Botree," run by a local farmer, was fascinating and included a tasty pepper tasting. I highly recommend booking this tour.

    7. Bokor Mountain tour with waterfall visit from Sihanoukville

    4.9· 69 reviews

    Full-day trip to Bokor National Park by private vehicle — explore historic sites and unwind at Popokvil Waterfall, with vegetarian lunch included.

    If you're in Kampot, this experience is not to be missed. We booked through Tripadvisor and had an excellent time. Our guide and Tuk Tuk driver, Roy, picked us up from our hotel and took us to various locations, making the trip special with his detailed explanations in perfect English. We appreciate Roy and have booked another tour, hoping to see him again. The Tuk Tuk ride to Bokor Mountain and Wat Samprov Pram was enjoyable, and we requested that Roy drive a bit slower on the curvy roads for a more comfortable experience. The jungle scenery and sea views were stunning and made the hour-long drive worth it. This area offers some of the most beautiful mountain regions in the country. We had ample time at each stop and thoroughly enjoyed the five-hour tour. It's best to do this trip in the morning to avoid the heat and the clouds obstructing the views.Trail03389988992

The sites we visited were stunning, and the tour was neither too lengthy nor physically demanding, aside from the numerous stairs to the Cave Temple.

    10. Sihanoukville city tour from the cruise port

    4.7· 9 reviews

    Four-hour small-group tour — Independence Monument, local markets, and scenic beaches, with time for street food sampling and cultural sites.

    We spent a day in Sihanoukville, and our driver and guide were very friendly. They took us to secluded beaches where we enjoyed the stunning white sands of Prang Trang and visited a fishing village. Unfortunately, the city itself felt like a construction zone dominated by Chinese development, with excessive dust and dirt. We would recommend avoiding the city for the next five years, but definitely explore the beautiful shores, beaches, and islands in the Gulf of Thailand.Palithas17
