What To Expect

Phnom Penh

Nowadays Phnom Penh is a vibrant and bustling capital city with around 2,000,000 residents with motorbikes and cars and a culture of sidewalk cafes established in recent years. The capital of the Kingdom of Cambodia is located at the confluence of three rivers: The Mekong, the Bassac, and the Tonle Sap. Once considered the loveliest city of Indochina, the city still maintains considerable charm. There is plenty to see in this small colonial capital. The many sidewalk cafes, established along the riverfront, invite the visitor for a rest. In addition to such tourist sites as the Royal Palace, the Silver Pagoda, the National Museum, and Wat Phnom, there are several markets selling silk, silver, gems, and antiques. Also worthwhile is a visit to the notorious "Killing Fields" and Tuol Sleng Museum, which chronicle the unfortunate years under the brutal rule of the Khmer Rouge.

Royal Palace

Today, meet your personal guide and driver and drive at your hotel lobby. Then we’ll drive to visit the Royal Palace. This graceful structure is very much a focus of the city. Standing on the site of the former citadel, it was built for King Norodom in front of the Mekong. Inside its walls are the Throne Hall, the Chan Chaya Pavilion, the Napoleon III Pavilion, and the King's and Queen's residential quarters.

To start off with, both Viator & the local tour operator failed to advise us in advance that both Royal Palace & Silver Pagoda would be closed. This should have been made categorically clear so that we had an option of re-booking for an alternate date. Therefore, we were only able to cover parts of the itinerary that we had paid for with no refund offered either. Whilst the guide himself was generally knowledgeable & communicated reasonably, he did not accompany us inside the museums where we were left to read and decipher information ourselves. We tipped both the guide & driver, but the driver seemed to expect a lot more (ridiculous considering price of this private tour). Lastly, the guide advised us the food was included and then at the end of the trip advised it wasn’t. He then quoted a higher price for the lunch but thankfully we had calculated the actual cost so only reimbursed the correct amount. Felt like it was a way to swindle us off more money than what it cost.
Worth every penny !

We were picked up in time and had a nice big airconditioned car with tour guide Sam and driver. it was very nice to be able to just jump into the waiting cool car after being out in the heat. we booked this tour as we wanted to see as much as possible in a day and we did. all mentioned stops were done and we had enough time inside. lunch place was nice (on own expense). cold water was offered throughout the tour. so in total a great experience we totally recommend.
