• 5Amazing private tour.

  Wonderful tour! Our guide was so informative and we learned so much about Cambodian history and culture. Our private tour was perfect for us as we could travel at our own pace and really experience everything without the distraction of keeping up with a group. Our guide answered all of our questions and was so pleasant. Our driver was delightful and saved us lots of walking by being right there after we finished touring a sight.

About Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh is Cambodia's riverside capital, where a gilded royal palace, French-era boulevards and markets sit beside memorials to the Khmer Rouge years.

The Royal Palace, with its tall pointed spires, and the neighbouring Silver Pagoda, whose floor is laid with silver tiles, stand close to the riverfront promenade where the Mekong and Tonlé Sap meet. Wat Phnom, a small hill temple, gave the city its name, and the National Museum, in a red Khmer-style building, holds a major collection of Angkorian sculpture. Art Deco Central Market and the busy Russian Market are good places to wander.
