I did the street food tuk tuk tour in Phnom Penh and it was fantastic! Jackson was an amazing guide who brought us to a variety of delicious food stops. Jackson was encouraging without being pushy when there were more unusual dishes to try. That helped me sample things I don't think I would have otherwise. Really great tour which had a fun atmosphere throughout.

Just finished my half day Street Food and Murals tour and want to share what an amazing trip it was. The guide, Jackson, was so knowledgeable about Khmer food and the history of Phnom Penh. His English was perfect and he was a great travel companion, really easy to talk to and happy to answer questions. This tour is more than tasting food and looking at art - you get a real understanding of the city and get to experience a fascinating side of it that most tourists don't get to see. Best half day I could have spent in Phnom Penh, highly recommend!

We had an amazing experience on this food tour! From the beginning, everything was very well organised and our guides was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. We got to try lots of delicious local food and learn much more about Cambodian culture, traditions and everyday life. All the restaurants and food stops were very well chosen, with great local dishes and places that we probably would never have discovered on our own. It was a great way to discover Phnom Penh from a different perspective, and our guide made the whole experience fun and interesting. We really enjoyed every moment of the tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Phnom Penh. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience! 🇰🇭❤️

Loved it! I did two tours and both of them were simply incredible. Jackson is a fantastic guide and our driver, Mr Lucky, drove us through Phnom Penh safe and sound (and with the traffic here it’s really a skill to do so 😄). Every single piece of food was delicious. I enjoyed every bite of it. Everything was fresh and all pieces were typical Cambodian foods. I also like that there isn’t any wasted food. Food that is not eaten (because believe me, you’ll be full) is given to the farms around for the animals. There were also some drinks included (in the morning a coffee and in the evening beer, soft drinks and a cocktail). You get water all the time. I learned so much about Cambodian culture (street art). It was very interesting and I liked listening to the stories and background information Jackson provided us with. The communication was great. Very organized, structured and well-prepared. I highly recommend doing at least one (but better both) of the tours.

I had such an excellent experience on my evening tuktuk food tour with Jackson. He was extremely knowledgeable and everything we ate was delicious. It was fantastic getting to see how the locals live and what the markets look like after dark. I’d recommend this tour to anyone looking to get a glimpse into the really Phnom Penh food scene!

We would like to take the opportunity to express our sincere gratitude for the moment of the tour service wonderful provided. The tour was included with a Tuk-Tuk driver who was a smooth ride with city knowledge. (Mr. Mao) Mr. Jackieson, our personal guide, was knowledgeable about every detail from the first point to the end of the tour. Absolutely worth 5 star rate. Recommend to those who like to explore food streets for the for the first time Penh Penh. Tip: to avoid getting wet in the rainy season: please bring the umbrella along. the point some of the tour is outdoor.

We had 2 tours with Jackson. One was a boat cruise(the beers flowed freely🍻👌) and the information provided was excellent. We then went to dinner at an NGO training organisation, Friends the Restaurant, which trains disadvantaged children to work in hospitality. This is a definite "must do" as the food these young folk turn out is exceptional. We also did a street food tour on a separate night and again Jackson hit the mark. The places we ate at we would never have found by ourselves. The variety and experiences were 10/10. Though I do suggest starting the tour on an empty stomach... Thank you to Urban Forage and Jackson for these unforgettable nights!

Great night out! JB from start to finish was fantastic. We would highly recommend this food tour. The different areas that we were taken, the food that we got to sample and to places that we wouldn't have normally eaten at, everything was delicious. One of the many highlights for us was being able to sample grasshoppers and crickets, get on board, they would be great with a beer.

Must Try This was absolutely awesome! Everything was included and the tour last about 3 hours. From fried noodles, sandwiches, and ribs to crispy crickets and stir fried ants. It was an experience I certainly won’t forget. My guide Jackson was very knowledgeable and I had a really great evening.

Great art tour! We did the art tour.It was great! I had a problem with the original time & they very kindly changed our pick up to accommodate us. Our guide, JB, was very knowledgeable. Loved all the background history he gave us. He was very enthusiastic about all the culture. Saw street art that we wouldn’t have seen on our own. We also went to a few galleries which had great art. Ended with a nice stop at a garden restaurant. We had a fantastic time & really enjoyed our time.

Delicious noodles and art We loved our afternoon noodle and street art tour with Jackson. It is fantastic to support local family run businesses and NGOs and seeing a different side to life in Phnom Penh. Jackson was passionate, friendly, engaging and informative! Highly recommend booking this tour.

Authentic & Adventurous We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Urban Forage. From start to finish, everything was seamless, thoughtfully organised, and genuinely memorable. We went on a guided street food tour in Phnom Penh and a progressive degustation dinner in Siem Reap. What stood out most was how they took us to places we never would have found or felt confident trying on our own. Every stop felt authentic and carefully chosen, showcasing an incredible range of flavours and local experiences. The guides and tuk tuk drivers were friendly, knowledgeable, and created a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere throughout. Urban Forage treated us like VIPs, and the tours were way beyond our expectations. It was such a great way to experience the local food scene in a meaningful way. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting something a bit different and truly special!

Much more than food and drinks We had the most incredible experience with Urban Forage on their Phnom Penh street food tour. Our guide was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable, making the whole evening feel relaxed and immersive from the start. They took us through bustling night markets we would never have had the confidence to explore on our own, sharing insights into the local food culture along the way. One of the highlights was being encouraged to step outside our comfort zone and try local delicacies — including insects! It turned out to be a surprisingly fun (and tasty) part of the night and something we’ll be talking about for years. Every stop felt authentic and thoughtfully chosen, and the whole experience far exceeded our expectations. If you want a genuine taste of Phnom Penh and its food scene, this tour is an absolute must.
