How to sell it

  • Easy to combine with other activities for half-day or full-day tour
  • Suitable for FIT, GIT, and especially families
  • An additional activity at the evening (flexible timing)
  • Low down the expectation of the street food, surrounded by Thailand and Vietnam, Cambodia suffers from not having street food of “haute cuisine”. The concept of this activity is therefore different than street food and we must be careful with the terminology to avoid misunderstandings to client.

Why this activity

  • This tour is an impressive ways to gain a deeper understanding of the street culture in the bustling capital of Phnom Penh
  • We recommend this activity for all food lovers
