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 a really enjoyable time on the Mekong Magic Sunset Cruise in Cambodia, and what made it even better was that there were only 13 of us on the boat. It felt relaxed and uncrowded, with plenty of space to sit back, enjoy the sunset, and take in the views. Of the 13, only 7 of us opted for the buffet, so there was definitely no fighting over the food! The buffet was simple but satisfying. It has chicken kebab, fried chicken, chicken curry, fried rice, and French fries, plus a platter of cold, fresh fruits. But let me talk about those fries. 😂 THE FRIES. They were so good that we completely wiped out the first serving. The crew noticed and actually brought out a second batch of freshly fried fries to replenish the buffet. Now THAT is service! Would definitely recommend Mekong Magic, especially if you prefer a more intimate cruise rather than being packed onto a crowded boat. And if you love fries… well, you already know what to do.

This was a simple sun set cruise but the best thing is the nets in front of the ship. You are literally 3m above the water and have soft pillows to enjoy the view.

we had a good time and very friendly staff. But the weather was too hot in the morning. And bus AC was not that cold. Staff allowed us to do stop over and take some photos since we were only 3 in the bus.

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.

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.

​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!

Most travellers book very close to travel—about 1 day ahead—so there's plenty of flexibility for spontaneous plans, but during the July peak named in the demand data it’s wise to lock in must-do activities earlier. Based on Klook booking data, February 2026 – July 2026.

What to know before visiting Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh at a glance and what visitors book

Phnom Penh’s Klook bookings are led by tours and cruises, so visitors here most often book cultural and river experiences. Demand peaks sharply in July and eases through the autumn, giving the city a clear high-season rhythm.

Best times to visit and how prices move

According to Klook booking data, demand is highest in July and is lowest around October. Prices on Klook are typically highest in July as well, and then drift down through the autumn and into the following spring; June is typically the cheapest month for activities. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for the quieter months around October through June; for the lively peak-season atmosphere and events, plan for July. Demand and prices move together around the peak—both climb in July—while the months after see demand fall and prices ease.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong

Most experiences in Phnom Penh can be booked at short notice: Klook’s typical lead time is about one day, with many travellers booking within a week. If you’re travelling from Hong Kong and prefer flexibility, you can often arrange tours and river cruises a day or two before departure; if you travel in July, consider booking a few days earlier to secure spots during the peak period.
