I had a private tour on the day of the national holiday, so the market was closed but my awesome guide George was able to pivot quickly and still provided me with a great experience. Lots of good context about the street art, too.

Two solo travellers on this tour, plus two tour guides, Jackson and Panha, as one was completing their training. They took us to 7 or 8 stops throughout the evening, providing us with soft drinks and beer. They not only did a good job of sharing information about the food, but also answering our questions and sharing their knowledge of Cambodian culture, such as the upcoming ancestors festival in November. We had a good range of food, such as fish curry, baguette, insects, a coconut wrap, and ending with a cocktail in a very nice little garden bar.

​We had an absolutely amazing time on the Phnom Penh city night tour by tuk-tuk! Exploring the city at night this way is a must-do. Our local guide, Kim, was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and truly made our tour excellent from start to finish. ​We got to see some beautifully lit landmarks, including Wat Phnom, the Central Market, and the Independence Monument. To make the night even more magical, our tour coincided with the Queen’s birthday, so we were treated to a spectacular fireworks display right near the Royal Palace! ​If you want a fantastic, authentic night out in Phnom Penh, ask for Kim and jump in a tuk-tuk. Highly recommended!

I like to try food tours wherever I visit. So when I came to Phnom Penh it was no different. The guide was Tin Tin. He was well informed about the variety of local Cambodian cuisine that we would eat. I appreciate the effort of a guide who can explain and mix the local food and culture together into a presentation. The food tour had many stops and a variety of Cambodian foods to sample. Each dish was unique and sometimes challenging such as the insects we were given to sample (with a beer 😊). Our group was a good size at 11 people but everyone had a great time and shared a few beer at the end. Thanks for providing a wonderful evening Tin Tin.

Smooth HCMC to Phnom Penh Journey 🚌🇻🇳🇰🇭 Overall, we had a good experience with this bus service. The bus left on time even though the seats were not fully occupied—we were only around 10 passengers or less! They still proceeded with the trip, which was great. Water and bread were also provided, and the border crossing into Cambodia was a smooth and well-organized process. Just brace yourselves for a long journey—it took us almost 9 hours. (1 border crossing and 3 stops along the way, so the travel time can definitely be quite long. Despite the long ride, everything went smoothly and we arrived safely in Phnom Penh. 👍

This was the most comfortable transport we have ever taken. The van was new with heated seats that have leg rests and massagers. The driver was flexible with stops and friendly.

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.

What to know before visiting Phnom Penh

What to expect in Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh is best known for its Tours and Cruises, with Tours leading booking volume and Cruises also popular, according to Klook booking data. Demand rises and falls through the year: activity is highest in July, while October is noticeably quieter. The city suits travellers who enjoy guided sightseeing and short river experiences, with a rhythm that peaks in mid-summer and eases in autumn. For visitors choosing when to go, the main decision is whether you want the lively peak-season energy or a quieter, more relaxed pace — pick atmosphere or tranquillity. Based on Klook booking data.

When to visit Phnom Penh

July is the city's peak booking month, with demand surging compared with a typical month, while October is the trough with noticeably lower demand; Klook booking data shows demand peaks in July and dips through October. Prices move across the year too: typical paid prices on Klook are highest in July and August and drift down to a low in June, so months with smaller crowds generally also bring lower prices. If you want fewer people and lower typical prices, aim for June or the quieter autumn months; for the peak-season atmosphere choose July or August.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January About average HKD 125
February About average HKD 101
March About average HKD 117
April About average HKD 117
May Quieter than usual HKD 101
June Busier than usual HKD 62
July Peak demand HKD 187
August Quieter than usual HKD 187
September Quieter than usual HKD 140
October Quieter than usual HKD 117
November About average HKD 117
December About average HKD 117

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 wide spread in typical nightly hotel prices between districts. The most affordable district is 7 Makara, typically around HKD 140 per night, while the priciest is Chroy Changvar, typically around HKD 1,014, a gap of roughly 86% between them. Budget stays around 7 Makara tend to suit travellers prioritising cost savings and more flexible itineraries, while pricier districts like Chroy Changvar suit those after a higher-end hotel experience and city riverside ambiance. Use the price gap to decide whether you want savings or a more premium night-by-night stay — value or splurge. Based on Klook booking data.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong

Most travellers from Hong Kong book quite close to travel dates: on Klook the typical booking window is about 1 day ahead, while the earliest planners book around 6 days out. That means you can often stay flexible and book experiences a day or two beforehand, though during July's peak demand it pays to lock in popular Tours earlier. Use Klook to secure spots once you know your dates, and consider booking must-do activities sooner in peak months to avoid missing out. Based on Klook booking data.
