Hey there, my name is Martin, welcome to Cambodia!
I completed my high school education in 2003 and began my career as a teacher at the Remote Area Kids Organization. I worked as a Tuk Tuk driver, guiding tourists around the temples in the Angkor Archaeological Park.
After graduating in 2010, I undertook a six-month training program with the Ministry of Tourism to become a professional guide.
Upon completing my training, I began working as a local guide, leading tourists across Cambodia In 2012, I advanced my career by becoming a Group Tour Leader with Intrepid, an Australia-based worldwide tour company. I led tours throughout Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia until November 23, 2019, when the COVID-19 hit.
In 2022,I returned to the tourism industry with renewed passion. I am deeply committed to sharing my extensive knowledge and love for Cambodian culture, history, and traditions with visitors.
My work allows me to connect with people from around the world and foster meaningful friendships.
Thank you for considering me as your guide.
★★★★★ Martin’s city guide of Phnom Penh was nothing short of exceptional! From the very start, his in-depth knowledge of the city's rich history and culture shone through. His captivating narration at the royal place transported us back in time, offering fascinating insights into the heritage and significance of the site. Martin’s expertise truly enhanced our experience as we explored the bustling street food market—his recommendations led us to savor the most authentic local flavors. The tour of the vibrant night market was equally memorable, where his engaging commentary made every moment come alive. And when it came to the various temples, Martin’s respectful and insightful explanations deepened our appreciation of the spiritual heritage of Phnom Penh. Overall, Martin’s passion, warmth, and attention to detail turned our journey into an immersive adventure. I wholeheartedly recommend his tours to anyone eager to uncover the true essence of Phnom Penh. Five stars without a doubt!
Martin is very knowleagable about the culture and history. His english is good as well, allowing to easily understand the explanation
Martin is an outstanding tour guide who shared a wealth of history and insights about Cambodia—far beyond what I could find online. Despite the tour lasting only 3-4 hours, it was an eye-opening experience that deepened my appreciation and understanding of the country. Martin's explanations were clear, engaging, and filled with humor, making the tour both informative and enjoyable. He also took the time to answer all our questions, ensuring a truly enriching experience. Highly recommended!
Great tour - nice small group and felt very authentic. Would recommend for those with a short stay in Phnom Penh
Martin was very organized and informative. We only had one day in Phnom Penh, and we gladly spent seven hours with him on two tours: a city walking tour and a guided transfer visit to the Killing Fields and S21. It was our first time in the city, and my husband’s first time in Cambodia, which marked his 100th country. We learned so much about the history of Cambodia through him. He spoke English very well and answered all our questions. For the Killing Fields and S21 visit, Martin arranged for a comfortable mini bus ($5 per person) to take our group to both locations, with the option to drop us off at a place of our choice afterward. He also provided bottles of cold water for refreshments. By choosing to go with him, we saved $8 by not having to pay for the audio guide and gained a more in-depth understanding of a very dark chapter in Cambodian history. Although it was very sad to witness the sites and learn this history, I believe it is a must-see when in Phnom Penh.
