Cambodian Friend
for the Day

Not a tour guide. Not a driver. A real local who shows you their city the way they'd show a friend — the hidden spots, the honest restaurants, the stories no guidebook has.

Our Partner Organizations

The Missions
Behind Every Friend

Each local friend you meet is supported by a mission-driven organization. When you book a day with them, you invest in something bigger than a tour.

CWE
Kampot & Kep
Women-Empowerment Tourism

"She grew up here.
She'll show you why it matters."

CWE — Cambodia Women Empowerment — operates in the slow, riverine south, connecting rural women from fishing and farming communities with travelers seeking an authentic, unhurried experience. CWE guides are mothers, farmers, and artisans who share their daily lives as the tour itself. Every dollar earned stays in the community — by design, not accident.

Community-Led Economy
All revenue flows directly to women's cooperatives — no middlemen, no leakage
Language & Confidence
English communication coaching builds dignified, lasting self-reliance
Eco-Conscious Guiding
Every trip follows low-impact principles co-designed by the guides themselves

Neak Siemreap
Siem Reap
Elderly-Centred Tourism

"The elders remember
the Cambodia before."

Neak Siemreap — meaning "Siem Reap local" — is a rare social enterprise that places retired and elderly Cambodians at the heart of cultural tourism. Their guides are grandparents, former monks, master craftspeople, and living witnesses to decades of history. A walk with them isn't a tour — it's an oral history, quietly and generously passed on to the next generation of visitors.

Living Memory Archive
Each guide's stories are recorded and preserved for future Cambodian generations
Elder Welfare Fund

When you spend a day with a TosTrip friend, you're not just exploring Cambodia — you're directly funding women's independence, elder welfare, and the preservation of living culture that no museum can replicate.
Why Rent a Friend?

Not a Tour.
A Real Connection.

Tour guides follow a script. Your local friend follows your curiosity. They eat where they eat, go where they go, and show you the version of Cambodia that never ends up in a brochure.

Common Questions

Before You Book

Is this safe? How are friends verified?

Every TosTrip friend goes through a three-step process: government ID verification, a video interview with our team, and a background check. We also read every review after each trip. Any complaint suspends the listing immediately while we investigate.

What's the difference between a friend and a tour guide?

A tour guide follows a fixed route with a group. Your local friend spends the day with only you (or your group), going wherever your conversation takes you. No script, no schedule, no other tourists. They eat with you, introduce you to their friends, and show you the places they actually love.

What's included in the price?

The listed price covers your friend's time. Transport, entrance fees, food, and activities are paid separately as you go — this keeps things flexible and fair. Your friend will always know the best-value options and won't take you anywhere overpriced.

Can I cancel or reschedule?

Yes — full free cancellation up to 48 hours before your booked time. After that, a 50% cancellation fee applies to respect your friend's time. Rescheduling is always free with at least 24 hours' notice.

What if I don't speak Khmer?

All TosTrip friends speak at least English. Many speak French, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, German, or Spanish — filter by language to find the right match. And honestly, some of the best moments happen without any common language at all.

Can I book for a group?

Yes — mention your group size when booking. Groups of 1–4 pay the same rate per booking. For groups of 5 or more, contact us directly and we'll arrange a group price or match you with multiple friends.

Days You Won't Stop Talking About
Dara Chann · Neak Siemreap
★★★★★

I'd done Angkor twice before with group tours and felt nothing. Dara took me alone, pre-dawn, to a temple I'd never seen, sat down beside a 1,000-year-old carving and told me who carved it and why. I was moved to tears.

Virak Sorn · CWE
★★★★★

We kayaked at 7am, visited his family's pepper farm at 10, ate lunch at his aunt's house, and watched the sunset from a hill no Google Maps pin exists for. Virak wasn't a guide. He was just a friend showing me his home.
