5.00A great way to see the city and learn about its history. We particularly liked that the videos had images of what places looked like back in the day. Would recommend doing it as your first thing in Phnom Penh (rather than last like us) so you can go back and visit some of the sites again.
Quick tour

4.00Interesting way to see a lot of things quickly . It was a very hot day so better than walking everywhere too. History and culture tour.

5.00Our guide offered an informative tour with great enthusiasm. The information (Oliver?) provided a good foundation for a 14-day subsequent private tour. We also got to see relevant historical buildings that most tour would omit. Although we could not go inside some of these buildings, the videos provided inside our minibus filled in the missing visuals. It makes a difference when you are guided by someone who is passionate about his work.
