Itinerary
Visit the darker and more tragic side of Cambodian history at the Genocide Museum. The new Museum was formally a girl's school but became the site of imprisonment, torture, and holding enclosure before being transported to the Killing Fields.
45 minutes away is the Killing Fields, the second significant historical site of the Khmer Rouge Genocide in Phnom Penh. Following this we will return to the city and have lunch.
Following the visit to the Killing Fields there will be a lunch break either at the Killing Fields or in the city after the 45 minute drive back before resuming the tour. (The time frame for the Independence Monument includes a lunch break and the return drive from the Killing Fields). Commence the afternoon by seeing and learning a bit about the impressive Independence Monument which represents the independence of Cambodia from French colonisation which lasted for 90 years, from 1863 - 1953.

We had a lovely time with Mr Nick who picked us up from our hotel and was incredibly friendly and professional. My partner forgot to cover her shoulders at the Royal Palace and Mr Nick gave my partner his jacket so she could enter - while it was pouring with rain!!! Unbelievable kindness and professionalism. If you are touring, you must ask for Mr Nick - he was phenomenal. He messaged me on WhatsApp the day before to introduce himself and confirm our booking. So splendid.
We loved being able to explore at our own pace, spending as long as we needed at each aite. Being able to choose what restaurant to stop off at for lunch was a bonus. Visal was our driver abd guide and looked after us all day being friendly, informative and a safe driver. He made the day fun and we learned a lot! We chose 10am start (id recommend starting earlier as museum and 1 pagoda shuts at 5pm)
Mr Bin was promptly on time as scheduled. Immediately introduced himself, provided explanations very well in English, very knowledgeable, it was an all day tour, enjoyed the TukTuk, carried water & even a couple of beers, but unfortunately they were not non alcoholic since we don’t drink. Water was more than sufficient for us. If your visiting for the 1st time highly recommend this tour and doing it the TukTuk Cambodia experience. I carried my own little usb fan, came in handy. Super nice tour guide, we already miss his hospitality.
Couldn’t have asked for a better trip Visal was lovely friendly patient and a safe driver accomodating to our requests Had a lovely tour of phnom Penn got an insight of Cambodian history and culture Highly recommend
We went on a tuk tuk adventure ride around Phom Penh visiting all of the important landmarks. Our driver and guide Mr Lim was excellent in explaining the history of Cambodia and replying to our many questions around Buddhism/Hinduism and of course the Khmer rouge regime. He was very knowledgae and eager not only to share historical facts but also his own experience growing up. A must see/do when you come to Phnom Penh! You will certainly not be disappointed. We are so happy we got the opportunity to do this tour!
We are going in 2 groups in 2 tutu. 2 persons in each group. It’s so much fun and great experience in tuk tuk. Driver and guide are absolutely sweet. They looking after us well and very good storyteller about history. Always smile and kind to do extra request without complaining. Worth to pay them more thank you so much
A day out covering historical sites with a torrid story. Our guide was very helpful and informative explaining when requested yet also allowing us to reflect in our own time. Would recommend.
Visal speaks very good English and is an incredible tour guide! He’s created a tour to help you see all of the major locations around Phnom Penh, and I’m super grateful as I only had a couple days in the city. Highly recommended!!
Mr nick very good guide great driver and always asking if we wanted water. Highly recommend this tour very good one and definitely get the audio wherever you can as it goes into depth of everything
Nick was amazing! He explained all the sites, took us wherever we wanted to go, and even gave us free beer and water. Lastly, he obliged our requests for hundreds of photos! 10/10 recommend!
