Posted on Sofia MVerified Trip from Battambang to Phnom Penh I traveled with San from Battambang to Pursat, Kampong Chhnang, Oudong Hill, and finally Phnom Penh, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. San was incredibly kind and thoughtful throughout the journey. He provided helpful context and interesting background about each place we visited, which made the trip even more enriching.One of the highlights was visiting Kampong Chhnang, where San brought me to see local artisans making ceramics by hand, as well as families producing palm sugar. These authentic experiences were fascinating and really gave me a deeper understanding of local life.Overall, it was a very enriching and enjoyable trip. I highly recommend traveling with San!Posted on sue EVerified Excellent transfer service. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend We used Cambodia Taxis for a transfer from Sihanhoukville port to Phnom penh airport. Price was very competitive but the communication from the company was outstanding. From the booking itself to the advance details of the car and driver it all worked extremely well. Driver was polite, friendly and helpful.Posted on MarinBNCVerified Best Service You can rely on this service. Punctual, safe drivers, and a fair price. In my opinion, the best value for money. I traveled with Mr. Soksan, who speaks excellent English and had some great tips to share. It was fantastic, and the drive from Phnom Penh to the pier in Sihanoukville was quite enjoyable. Thank you very much, Mr. Soksan, for your service.Posted on SeyoRiVerified Perfect choice for a private tour in Phnom Penh I found this agency completely by chance while looking for someone to organize a private tour a bit off the usual tourist routes — and wow!, what a great find! Mr. San arranged everything perfectly. I felt comfortable, relaxed, and totally safe the whole time. What impressed me right from the start was how promptly and clearly all my messages were answered. Communication was smooth, professional, and efficient and the service was great — Mr.San really goes above and beyond to make sure to deliver exactly what I want. The price was very fair too. Everything was way above my expectations. As someone who has traveled to 80+ countries, and had all kinds of experiences, I can confidently say this was one of the best travel services I’ve ever had. I truly wish Mr. San all the best in his business — he does an outstanding job and really deserves success!Posted on Quest18705643386Verified Highly Recommend Mr. San’s Driving Service We had a wonderful experience with Mr. San, who drove my sister and me from Phnom Penh Airport to Kampot. He is very kind, friendly, and professional, and he drives with great care — we felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the journey. We truly appreciate his warm hospitality and excellent service. We’ll definitely book with him again during our holiday. Highly recommended!Posted on Paolo De LucaVerified ⭐ 5-Star Review for San – Private Transfer from Sihanoukville to KTI Airport We travelled from Sihanoukville to KTI Airport using the brilliant service provided by San. I made a couple of changes to the pick-up time, and he adjusted without hesitation. He patiently waited for us early in the morning at the ferry drop-off point and was incredibly flexible throughout the trip.The vehicle was very comfortable, perfect for a long journey, and San made sure we were relaxed the entire way. We stopped for lunch and even shared a lovely meal together at the top of King Mountain — completely out of his way — and it truly felt like travelling with family.San went above and beyond in every way. I can only rate his service 5 stars — highly recommended!Thank you, San! 🙏✨PaoloPosted on Suz NVerified Highly recommended Thank you for an excellence service San.San was great, he was on time with the pick up, and super friendly and flexible accommodating our last minute delay. We were traveling from Battambang to Phnom Penh, he took us to some sites on the way that we were not aware of. We really appreciated the slight diversions, which made the trip home more memorable.San was very considerate and also made sure we had snacks and drinks, and took appropriate breaks. We will certainly use his services again and happily recommend him to others.Posted on P SVerified Great service company for all transport neds Mr San was very professional, friendly and helpful.Taking us from Battenbang to Phnom Penh, Mr San arrived early and was happy to be flexible on our trip. We asked if he could recommend some interesting places to visit on the journey and he very kindly took us to some fascinating sites that are not in many of the guidebooks - for no ectra charge !Mr. San was also a very careful and relaxing driver, who made sure his passengers were comfortable during the trip. With drinking water provided and as many rest and food stops as we needed, it was a very nice journey.I would recommend this company for both tourist and business customers: Mr. San spoke excellent English and was very willing to discuss everything we asked about both Cambodia and the wider world.Posted on Kara SVerified Just two middle aged Australian women on holidays. Sam was our driver and he was a wonderful host. We stopped for lunch where Sam recommended and it was excellent. He was very friendly and we felt very safe with him. He stopped when we needed to. He supplied water for the car ride which was a lovely touch. Would recommend Sam to anyone. ❤️Posted on Dora SVerified The best taxi service in Cambodia! My mom and I booked Mr. San to drive us from Phnom Penh Airport (KTI) to Sihanoukville on September 30th and back on October 7th, and it was such a great experience. He was very kind, helpful, and easy to communicate with from the very beginning. His English is excellent, which made planning and coordinating everything really easy.Mr. San was also reliable and punctual, which made everything feel smooth and stress-free. The car was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and he made sure we had everything we needed along the way. The prices were fair and clearly explained upfront, so there were no surprises. When he picked us up from Sihanoukville port (after our ferry ride from Koh Rong island) for the trip back to the airport, he even offered to pay for our coffees before we started the drive — a very unexpected and thoughtful gesture. We truly appreciated Mr. San's kindness and generosity.We want to personally thank Mr. San for making our trip so easy and enjoyable. We would happily recommend him to anyone visiting Cambodia!
