Overview

Uncover Phnom Penh's cultural charm and tragic past on this day-long guided tour. Start your day at the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda, where golden roofs and elegant carvings reveal Cambodia's monarchical heritage. Continue on to the National Museum, which houses rare Khmer sculpture and ancient artifacts.
Afterward, visit the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S21), a deeply emotional reminder of Cambodia’s past; followed by the Choeung Ek Genocidal Center, where you’ll walk through the memorial site honoring the victims of the Khmer Rouge.

Unwind over a riverside stroll in late afternoon, and round out your day with a sunset evening boat tour on the Mekong. Watch the city come to life in the golden light as you pass by the Royal Palace and lively riverfront activity, a perfect way to reflect on Phnom Penh's history, from the past into the present.
