Our Guide Training

Written By Skuals

Training process

Skual Tours works with freelance guides, most of whom are students in Battambang. Our guides must go through the Skual Tours recruitment process. They are walked through our training following the Skual Tours Standard Operating Procedure. Guides need to attend at least one Tour Guide Training workshop and pass through the Skual Tours training process under the supervision of our operations manager for their tour assessment before they are able to lead tours.

On May 19th, 2026, we conducted a guide training session for our team in order to refresh our skills as well as to learn about Skual Tours' mission and vision. Phare Ponleu Selpak offered us their space to use for this training, and we also had Phare’s staff participating in our training as well. We conducted this training over one and a half days

Skual Tours was born from a simple belief: meaningful travel is not measured by how many places you visit, but by how deeply you connect with them.

Our founder, Simony Pech, began his journey in tourism in 2014 as a guide trainee. Over the years, he worked across different roles, from tour guiding to outdoor education, walking alongside travelers, communities, and fellow guides. Through these experiences, one question kept returning: What makes a journey truly meaningful?

The answer was never just landscapes, temples, or itineraries. While Cambodia is rich in history, architecture, and natural beauty, these elements alone do not define the experience. What leaves a lasting impression is human connection, the warmth of a greeting, the rhythm of daily life, shared meals, quiet conversations, and stories shaped by resilience.

When people think about travel, a few common questions are often asked: How many places have you been? Where is the best spot for photos? What is the best food to try?
