This is our way of giving back to the community. We use a portion of the proceeds we receive from our other Cambodia tours to pay your guide and the vendors that we visit during the tour. We do this because we want to continue putting money back into the hands of the locals that make our experiences so special. It allows us to share the positive impact tourism can have on these lesser visited local communities.
If you enjoy your tour, there are some (free) things you can do to help share your experience so we can do the same with other guests. These include leaving a public review and posting about your experience on social media.
“You’ll be taken to off-the-beaten track, family-owned restaurants, all while learning about Cambodia’s culture and history. This is NOT a regular street food tour; they won’t just delve into the ingredients. Instead, you’ll learn how a recipe has lasted thousands of years from the Angkor era. You’ll get educated on how the Khmer Rouge regime affected the dishes that people ate (hint: they used a lot of herbs).”
“Lost Plate Food Tours offers several tours in Siem Reap, but pick the that takes you to the only restaurant serving cuisine by the Kula people, an ethnic minority group in northwest Cambodia; the tour includes a meal at home with a local family, and ends with banana leaf salad and classic curry at a local restaurant.”
