Phnom Penh Guided Tours

The buzzing capital of Cambodia is home to a swathe of skyscrapers, ancient Buddhist monuments and the remnants of bygone empires, as scooters, tuk-tuks and cyclists weave through the streets.

Wander the bustling city, stopping at street food stalls to sample the likes of num chet chien (battered, deep-fried bananas covered in black sesame seeds) and nompang sak koh (barbecued beef marinated in lemongrass and chillies, served in a baguette). Discover the lavish Royal Palace, with its jewel-encrusted gold Buddha sculptures and Italian marble Silver Pagoda, and the surrounding ornate vihara houses. As part of our Cambodia Discovery tour, you’ll visit the lotus-shaped stupa (dome-like structures that typically house Buddhist relics) of Cambodia’s Independence Monument. Pause and take a moment to reflect or meditate in the 15th century Wat Langka temple.

Ascend the steps of the Wat Phnom, Phnom Penh’s tallest religious structure, and admire the meticulous attention to detail of the many murals lining its walls, before shopping for handmade souvenirs and jewellery in the pulsing halls of the art deco Central Market. Learn of Cambodia’s extraordinary past at the sobering Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and the terracotta National Museum of Cambodia, then take a relaxing sunset cruise down the Mekong River.

Your Cambodian adventure continues on to the historic ruins of Siem Reap and its ancient Ta Phrom temple, reclaimed by nature and situated in dense jungle. You’ll explore the ancient city of Angkor Thom, observing the stone faces of the South Gate and the timeless Bayon Temple, before strolling along the corridors of the expansive, awe-inspiring Angkor Wat temple complex.
