Highlight of our 18 day trip of Cambodia!!
"If we could give more than 5/5 rating we would!! This tour has been an absolute highlight of our 18 day trip around Cambodia. Novo was very responsive with communication prior to booking and speaks English and French. He was so friendly and informative throughout the tour and took the time to answer our many questions. We got a feel for the 'real Cambodia' visiting a local village in addition to seeing the Irrawaddy dolphins. Do yourselves a favour and book a tour with Novo!"
Novo Casina: Thank you for choosing me as your guide in Kratie! It was such a joy to show your family around. Enjoy your best time in Cambodia!
Immersed in Kratie with Novo
"Very nice experience with Novo! Very nice and speaks super good French. We learned a lot about the country and local production (coal recycling, tileworks...). We were able to see the Mekong dolphins and Phnom Sambok Pagoda (with the monkeys). That was really great! I recommend 500%. Thanks again to Novo!"
Novo Casina: Thank you so much! That was very kind of you!
THE tour guide of Cambodia
"Don't look for another tour, Novo is your guy. Not only is the price really good, you get a tour guide that takes you through all around Kratie to see local life and to see the dolphins. No hidden costs, you get what you pay for. He speaks English and French and his explaining is amazing with great energy. Thanks again Novo!"
Novo Casina: Thank you so much! It was a really great day with you two!
Immersion in Cambodian culture
"We had a great time with this guide who first accompanied us to see the dolphins. Then we had the privilege to discover the traditions and life in the Cambodian countryside. A real moment of immersion, a Francophone guide listening to our questions and those of the children. Go ahead, eyes closed!"
Novo Casina: Thank you both so much! I was really happy to show you around.
Super efficient speaks French
"Nice meeting with Novo the tuk-tuk driver in Kratie. Super nice, helpful, interesting guy. I did two dolphin tours with him and the next day visited the Kratie countryside. He speaks French very well. Always good advice on stores or restaurants in town. I recommend 400%."
Novo Casina: Thank you very much Joël! I hope you enjoyed your visit in Kratié.
Beautiful encounter
"There are encounters in life that are little magical lights. Novo took us to discover life in Cambodia, temples, pagodas, rice fields. It was beautiful and Novo speaks French very well. If you are passing through Kratie do not hesitate to contact him. Highly affordable price."
Novo Casina: Thank you so much for your review! It was a great pleasure meeting you!
A wonderful day with Novo
"We spent the day with Novo our tuk-tuk who showed us Kratie, its villages, its inhabitants, its temples in an authentic and extremely kind way... he speaks French perfectly and taught us a lot of things about Cambodia... I highly recommend if you want to be in contact with a real Cambodian!"
Novo Casina: Thank you so much for your review. I am really glad I gave you the tour.
Tuktuk in Kratie
"Great tuk-tuk that speaks French. He took us to see the dolphins and gave us stories about Cambodian life. He makes jokes too. Do not hesitate to use him for your trips to Kratie!"
Novo Casina: Hi! Thank you so much for your review! You were very kind!
Great tour with Novo
"My guesthouse called a tuk-tuk driver for me and it was Novo that picked me up. He was fantastic as we went to the dolphin tour, 100 Pillar Pagoda and Phnom Sombok for a very good price. His English was amazing and I really enjoyed talking with him throughout the day. Taught me a lot about the places we visited!"
Novo Casina: Thank you so much Kristina! It was a great pleasure to show you around Kratie!
