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.

had a great experience with the tour! Kim was extremely friendly and knowledgable to share about the attractions, history, and the different processes (beancurd skin making and silk making). 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 to expect in Phnom Penh
Phnom Penh centers on immersive Tours and river Cruises as the top booking choices, with guided city tours and short cruises shaping most visitors' days. Klook booking data shows demand rises and falls through the year, peaking in July and dipping into October, so the city's rhythm is a mix of busy summer months and much quieter autumn weeks. Travelers who value lively markets and full sightseeing days should plan for the July peak; those who prefer fewer crowds will find quieter windows later in the year. Decide whether you want peak atmosphere or quieter exploration. Based on Klook booking data.
Best times to visit Phnom Penh
July is the clear high season for bookings, while October is the quietest month in Klook data. Prices on Klook are highest in July and drift down through the autumn into December, then stay lower through the spring before hitting their lowest in June; demand and price align in July when both are high, while October shows low demand but not the absolute lowest prices. For lower prices and smaller crowds, target June or the quieter autumn months; for peak-season atmosphere and fuller activity schedules, plan for July.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | About average | USD 16 |
| February | Busier than usual | USD 13 |
| March | About average | USD 16 |
| April | Busier than usual | USD 16 |
| May | About average | USD 16 |
| June | Busier than usual | USD 11 |
| July | Peak demand | USD 24 |
| August | Quieter than usual | USD 15 |
| September | Very quiet | USD 18 |
| October | Very quiet | USD 15 |
| November | About average | USD 12 |
| December | About average | USD 16 |
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 across districts. The most affordable district is 7 Makara with a typical nightly rate of around USD 18, while the priciest is Chroy Changvar at about USD 130, a gap of roughly 86% between them according to Klook bookings. Budget-minded travellers and those who prefer to spend more on experiences than lodging will find 7 Makara suits them well; travellers seeking quieter, higher-end hotels or a different atmosphere may favour Chroy Changvar. These figures come from Klook booking data.
Tips for travellers from the United States
Most travelers book experiences close to their trip: on Klook people typically reserve about 1 day ahead, while the earliest planners book around 8 days out. That short lead time means you can be flexible and often book last-minute, but in July — the peak month — it pays to lock popular tours a bit earlier. Use Klook to compare available tour times and typical prices, and if you want a specific date or time in high season, secure it in advance through the app. Klook booking data encourages checking availability early for July.
