Joining this tour made visiting both sites completely stress-free. The bus arrived right on schedule for the morning pickup, which I really appreciated. Everything ran on time from start to finish, so we never had to worry about traffic or hailing rides between locations. ​The booking process was seamless, and using the bus was so much easier and more comfortable than trying to organize tuk-tuks on my own in the heat. We had plenty of time at both the Killing Fields and S21 without feeling rushed. It was smooth, reliable, and convenient.

​We had an incredible daytime city tour exploring the very best of Phnom Penh! Our local guide was fantastic—so knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about sharing the city's rich history. ​We visited the stunning Royal Palace and the beautiful Silver Pagoda, both of which were absolutely breathtaking. The National Museum provided amazing context to Cambodia's heritage, and stopping at Wat Phnom was the perfect way to round out the experience. Having a great guide made all the difference, as they brought each location to life with fascinating stories and insights. ​If you want a seamless, deeply enriching tour of Phnom Penh's top landmarks, this is absolutely the way to do it!

I was very satisfied with the service. I book for a joiner tour but there's no other participant aside from me. But the tour still push through without asking me for additional charges. It was like a private tour for me. The tour guide Kim is very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the place we go. Thank you.. you deserve more guest in the future.

Had a lovely and informative afternoon with Lee. Enjoyed all the sites he brought us to and the fruits provided as snacks (we asked for vegetarian). Only downside is that we were a bit worried because it started raining heavily during lunchtime and send them a WhatsApp to check whether the tour will continue but they did not reply till later. All good cos the rain stopped, but would have been more reassuring if they were more easily contactable.

I was the only person on the tour for the day, so I spent a wonderful almost 3.5 hours with Rija from Madagascar. As he would drive to the next spot, I would watch the video on the iPad and then he would give further information at each spot. He was very knowledgeable about each place and was able to answer almost all of my questions. There were many places to see on the tour, and I had a really nice time

Sandra was an amazing tour guide - as we went around to the different sites she was very knowledgeable in explaining the history as well as other relevant and interesting information. And also thank you to the tuk-tuk driver who drove us around. Highly recommend!

What to know before visiting Phnom Penh

What to do in Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh draws visitors mainly for Tours and Cruises, with Tours leading booking volume and Cruises also well represented according to Klook booking data. The city's activity rhythm shows a summertime surge: July is the busiest month while May is significantly quieter, so expect the year to swing between busier and quieter periods. Decide whether you want lively streets and fuller tour options or a calmer visit with easier planning; pick atmosphere over savings or vice versa. All observations above are based on Klook booking data.

Best months to visit Phnom Penh

July is the clear peak for demand while May is the quietest month; prices are highest in July and drift down through the following months before reaching their low in June, so demand and price peak together around midsummer and diverge in late spring. For lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for May or June; for peak-season atmosphere and the widest choice of tours, plan for July. All price and demand notes come from Klook booking data.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January About average USD 26
February Busier than usual USD 16
March About average USD 19
April About average USD 19
May Quieter than usual USD 10
June Busier than usual USD 9
July Busier than usual USD 28
August About average USD 15
September Quieter than usual USD 26
October About average USD 17
November About average USD 24
December About average USD 12

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.

Where to stay by typical price

Hotel prices in Phnom Penh vary widely. The most affordable district is 7 Makara with a typical nightly rate of around USD 18, while the priciest is Chroy Changvar at around USD 130, a gap of roughly 86% between them according to Klook booking data. Cheaper districts tend to suit travellers prioritising budget and practical convenience for tours; pricier districts suit travellers seeking higher-end hotels and more premium amenities. All figures above are based on Klook booking data.

Tips for travellers planning ahead

Most travellers book fairly close to travel dates and flexibility works: experiences on Klook are typically booked 2 days ahead, while the earliest planners lock in about 13 days out, according to Klook booking data. That means you can often decide a few days beforehand, but in July — the busiest month — booking earlier pays off. Use Klook to compare options and secure spots for popular Tours and Cruises when you want specific dates or times, while leaving casual choices flexible until shortly before departure.
