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.

UDong mountain is a small hill, full of history of old Cambodian royal family. the tourist guide has rich knowledge of the Cambodia king's family. we visited three places, the old royal family temple, shrines on Udong mountain, about15 minuteswalk up hill via step which off the beaten street. my trip is a private trip with a local tourist guide, Mr. Sok.Sok is a good tourist guide, his Englishis easy to understand, funny ancient stories. Sceneries on the hill top is amazing , a new open museum full of wonderful wall paintings of the Buddha stories. A giant Buddha statute is beautiful. We had local meals at lunch time, which is simple Cambodian food, refreshing and passion fruits drink is a highlight to the meal. I recommend him to all travelers to visit UDong mountain and old royal capital of this area.

Mr Daro was professional and helpful in our trip from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap with sightseeing. He was very kind in helping us to purchase tickets at the various attractions. He always has a smile on his face and remain attentive on the drive despite it being a long drive from 7am to 6pm. He is an experience tour guide who timed the journey well for us to catch the sunset at Kampong Pluk. He also ensures that we are hydrated by reminding us to drink water. The car was clean, comfortable and spacious - journey was smooth and I had short naps along the way.

The entire journey was very smooth and well-organized, and a great learning experience in such a short duration. Thank you Kim 🙏🏼

Both my son and I had the perfect tour with the perfect Tour guide Nien, I have probably spelt that wrong but sounds that way when pronounced, he had perfect English and was so knowledgeable about both sites and was able to answer all our questions. honestly getting a fantastic tour guide who you can engage with makes such a difference and he was such a nice man, it was our first time in a tuk tub and was good fun. we have amazing memories from the tour but such a sad subject and absolutely terrible what happened to the Cambodian people and such atrocities should never happen again, we did have the pleasure of meeting a survivor which was an honor and if you are there and he is please buy his book and support him. all in all a great tour, I would recommend it to anyone interested in the history of the country.

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 Phnom Penh is known for

Phnom Penh is a compact city where Tours and Cruises lead visitor activity through the year. Klook booking data shows Tours account for the largest share of bookings, followed by Cruises, and demand rises and falls with a clear seasonal rhythm. The city draws visitors for cultural and river experiences, with planning trade-offs between busy and quiet months. Klook booking data indicates busy spikes in June and April, while May is noticeably quieter, so consider whether you want lively peak-season atmosphere or a quieter visit when booking your activities on Klook.

When to visit Phnom Penh

Demand on Klook peaks in June and April while May is the quietest month, and prices shift across the year with a sharp high in April and the lowest median in June. Where demand and prices move together, April brings both higher bookings and the priciest typical prices; June is busier but shows the year’s most affordable typical price, so smaller crowds and lower prices can coincide. For lower prices and smaller crowds choose May–June; for peak-season atmosphere pick April or June and book earlier via Klook.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January Busier than usual AUD 39
February About average AUD 22
March About average AUD 24
April Peak demand AUD 93
May Very quiet AUD 19
June Peak demand AUD 12
July Busier than usual AUD 46
August Quieter than usual AUD 22
September Quieter than usual AUD 22
October Quieter than usual AUD 22
November About average AUD 39
December About average AUD 24

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 in Phnom Penh

Klook booking data shows a clear split in typical nightly rates across districts: the most affordable district is 7 Makara with a typical nightly rate of around AUD 27, while the priciest is Chroy Changvar at around AUD 194; the gap between them is roughly 86%. The more affordable end suits travellers prioritising budget and flexibility — simple hotels and cost-conscious touring — whereas the pricier end tends to suit travellers seeking a more upscale stay or extra amenities. Use Klook to compare typical nightly rates and pick the district that matches your comfort and budget preferences.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Most travellers book close to arrival: on average people secure activities about 1 day ahead, while the earliest planners book about 6 days out, according to Klook booking data for platform bookings. That means you can be flexible and often book last-minute, but during the busier months (April and June) it pays to lock popular Tours and Cruises earlier. Use Klook to browse options, check typical prices and secure bookings a few days ahead for peak periods to avoid disappointment while staying flexible the rest of the year.
