Itinerary
Following a hotel pick-up, your guide will take you to the Royal Palace, built in 1866 by the French after King Norodom relocated the royal capital from Oudong. Located on the western banks of the Tonle Sap and Mekong River, the palace complex features stunning Khmer architecture, divided into 4 main compounds.

The grounds of the Palace are also home to the Silver Pagoda, which received its name because its floor is made of 5,329 silver tiles. Learn about the Khmer kings, resident at all times, with the exception of the period when the Khmer Rouge took control in 1975. See gold and jeweled Buddha statues in the Silver Pagoda, and the Angkor Wat style Bell Tower.

Then, learn about the turbulent years of the Khmer Rouge at the infamous Tuol Sleng Museum. Located in a former high school that was used as the notorious Security Prison 21, the Genocide Museum traces the story of the Killing Fields and the torture and executions that took place from 1975-79. See exhibits that tell the stories of some of the estimated 20,000 prisoners that were killed.

Return to the city center and and get stunning views of the Tonle Sap and Mekong River Side before heading back to your hotel.

Best experience in our all holidays

If I could give TEN STARS i would but unfortunately there are only 5 stars, Mr Oung Syphat was so interesting that we were glued to his speech. We learned a lot. It was an amazing visit. I would recommend him to anybody visiting Phnom Penh. The best guide you could ever meet. Thanks to him the Khmer history is made easy. Thank you, Monsieur

Met new friends, learned so much!

It was my first time touring alone and my guides Kuya Syphat and Kuya Pum made sure that I was very comfortable and informed me of the history of the places we went to. I'm not one who is used to taking photos so I was very pleased with Kuya Syphat always reminding me to take photos so I'll have memories and stories to look back to. It was a very emotional day listening to the survivors of the genocide share their stories personally, but it opened my eyes to the atrocities that happened and the reform that ensued thereafter. I would recommend this tour especially to those traveling alone or with a small group as it is really interesting to hear not just about the tour spots but also their personal experiences and even how it shapes the current events of Cambodia. Very very happy I booked this trip!

Phnom Penh Tour

Awesome experience for anyone that want to not only visited, but learn little about the history of Cambodia from a local that lives here. First stop was the National Museum, the Silver Pagoda was close, where I learn about the different religion that shape the country. The second location was the Genocide Museum, where you are reminded of how valuable life can be. The bonus was to be able to meet the survivors of the prison. Lastly, the Killing Fields, where you can pay respect the countless people that have lost their lives.Overall I had a great time. Tour guide, Vibol is very knowledgeable with over 20yrs experience , made the trip worth wild.

A must do in Phnom Penh. 6 out of 5 stars!!!!

Despite the Silver Pagoda and Royal Palace being closed, our wonderful tour guide took us around Phnom Penh, the river walk, local monasteries, the Natural History Museum, Wat Phnom, and Tuol Sleng S-21. (We had already gone to Choeung Ek yesterday on our own so our wonderful guide made a new itinerary for us.) Oung Syphat speaks Russian and English and was an incredible resource for us to learn about his own experiences during the Khmer Rouge years.The ride was comfortable, with plenty of AC and cold water. Tuol Sleng was an emotionally moving experience and I would highly recommend to have a guide like Syphat walk you through the history.We had a blast seeing Phnom Penh through the eyes of a local- thank you, Syphat for everything!! Ar Kun!!!

This is a must do if you are in Phnom Penh!

I highly recommend this tour! Our tour guide Syphat was absolutely amazing. He was so kind, very knowledgeable and let us go at our own pace. The history is so sad but so important to learn. Our diver Pun was also incredible. We felt so safe with him. Thank you Syphat and Pun for this experience!

Sad but interesting

Really enjoyed this trip. Started off at the royal palace then the genocide museum and finally the Killing fields. We are a group of 6 and were picked up from our hotel with our own bus and private tour guide. She was very informative and let us have as much time as we wanted in each place. Each place is definitely worth a visit. She even pointed out things around the city and dropped us off near the waterside rather than back to our hotel. Highly recommended this tour
