Plan Your Walking with Martin
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

What They’re Saying
Martin has great humour and is very knowledgeable. It was just me on the tour and so I could ask all the questions and take the pace I wanted. Nothing felt hurried or too silly an ask. We stopped by the market and Martin bought us some fruit that I’d never tried before which just added to the whole experience. Very generous and very helpful!

We really enjoyed our tour with Martin. It was informative and gave us a great insight into Cambodia's history, culture and people. He is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to, he built a good rapport with all in the tour. It was also great to visit different areas around Phnom Phen and to feel confident in returning to explore further. We would thoroughly recommend joining Martin's tour.

I had the best time with Mr. Martin, who’s an excellent guide that allowed me to get a better perspective and knowledge of this country. The tour included a visit to the Killing Fields and the Genocide Museum (S-21), with Mr. Martin as a guide I had the opportunity to get a deeper meaning of what I was experiencing (which is hard and harsh), really understanding the tragic events that led to the creation of those museums. 100% recommended
