Things to do in Phnom Penh

An absolute highlight of Phnom Penh!The sunset cruise on the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers was breathing. Watching the sky turn pink and orange as the city lights started to sparkle was magic. I picked the free-flow beer and soft drinks option, which was fantastic value. The crew and guide were incredibly friendly and shared great stories about daily river life. It is a highly recommended, laid-back experience to wind down.

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.

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.

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.

My 9 yr old son and I had a great time tonight on the cruise. The food was sooooo good. I haven’t been that stuffed in a long time. the staff was amazing, they even took pictures for us. I would definitely do it again and highly recommend.

​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!

The guide/driver was really nice and really helpful. Very smooth and felt very safe with our drivers driving, thank you 😊

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

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.
