A Taste of the Tour:

Take a closer look at Siem Reap’s creative soul with an experience that brings together art, conversation and personal discovery. This tour invites you into quiet gallery spaces, vibrant studios and thoughtful exhibitions that reflect Cambodia’s artistic journey. From your first stop to the last sip of your cocktail, you will follow a carefully crafted path through the city’s growing art scene.

You will begin with a guided visit to a local exhibition that sets the tone with bold expression and rich cultural themes. Next, at Theam’s Gallery, you will explore the intersection of tradition and innovation in a setting that feels both intimate and inspiring. The experience builds toward a highlight — a private meeting with a Cambodian artist whose work and story offer rare insight into life, creativity and expression.

Your time together will unfold naturally, with time to talk, ask questions and create. Under the artist’s guidance, you will work with your hands, shape your own ideas and produce a small piece of art to take home. Whether it is your first time picking up a brush or you are an experienced creative, the process is gentle, encouraging and full of discovery.

Finally, you will end the evening in a peaceful garden gallery. With a cocktail or mocktail in hand, you will have space to reflect on what you have seen and made. As day turns to night, the experience settles in — a quiet moment in a vibrant city, where culture is shared through colour, story and connection.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a memorable introduction to Cambodia. Guide Jackson and two of Urban Forage's regular drivers did an exceptional job with the Phnom Penh Morning Market and Street Art by Tuk Tuk. I direct booked via their website  last night (it's low season) and got immediate WhatsApp messages sorting out my shellfish allergy and promising the daily tour would  go ahead even though I was the only one signed up. Three friends wound up joining — two literally at the last minute. On this half art/half food tour all over Phnom Penh, we were treated to a first breakfast, second breakfast and surprise ending. We discovered art and the stories behind it in a coffeeshop, on the street, in a gallery and in a public square. Jackson's English is perfect and he took care to ensure I avoided hidden oyster sauce, shrimp paste and dried shrimp. And hearing that one of us was celebrating a birthday, they quickly decorated both tuk tuks with balloons! You couldn't ask for more from a tour.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great morning with Jackson our guide and Mr Lucky our Tuktuk driver in Phanom Penh. Started the morning with a visit to a local market for some great breakfast and the most delicious Cambodian Donuts then  Jackson took us to the Street with the murals and stopped again for more delicious food. This is a great way to start your morning in Phanon Penh and see the sites eat some delicious food. Highly recommend this tour ask for Jackson and Mr Lucky.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jackson and his driving partner a 1 fantastic people pro using local knowledge in a fun, intimate manner.  Enjoy countless classic “street food” samples,  some familiar, some very local but all fantastically fresh, delicious and specific to Cambodian culture.  The street food is the “appetizer” sort to speak because you wind up at a long standing family restaurant for a sit down dinner with a variety of delicious dishes offered.

Great experience, well worth the time & money!
Go and enjoy!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Whether you’re getting your bearings on Cambodian food or looking to try something more unique, this is a perfect food tour. Highly recommend a private tour if you want to customize or up the adventurousness - as a repeat visitor to Phnom Penh, Urban Forage really delivered for me on the later. My personable guide was so fun and easy to talk to, and I loved learning from him during the over four hours we spent zipping around the city. A lifetime travel highlight for sure.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very nice tour! It was our first day in Cambodja and we wanted to get to know the local kitchen, JB took excellent care of us and we tried a lot of cambodian food. Drove everywhere with the tuktuk and got beer and water on the way. Definitely a must-do!!

 Verified Great local experience
A happy evening tour of small eareries, most street vendors or market operators. The food is authentic and you are dining among locals. Beers aplenty which compliments the food as Jacko, our guide provides fascinating commentary and insights into being a resident in Phnom Penh. The people watching was awesome, a real treat seeing locals go about their evening activities. A great way to experience the city evening.

 Verified 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.

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.

 Verified 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.

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.

 Verified 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!
