Itinerary

300 min

Pick up you at your hotel in Phnom Penh City center from our driver and transfer to Siem Reap City.

30 min

On your way to Siem Reap, your first stop is Skun, a small town famous for its unique food market. Here, you can witness something truly extraordinary - the Spider and Insect Food Market. Brace yourself as you encounter a variety of insects and arachnids, including fried tarantulas and crunchy scorpions. Don't worry, though, if you're not feeling adventurous, there are plenty of other local delicacies to try.

30 min

Next, you'll visit the Kampong Kdei Bridge, a marvel of engineering that spans the Siem Reap River. This ancient bridge, built during the Khmer Empire, showcases the ingenuity of the Khmer people. Take a stroll along the bridge and soak in the panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

15 min

No trip to Cambodia is complete without indulging in the local cuisine. As you make your way to Siem Reap, you'll have the opportunity to try Bamboo Sticky Rice, a traditional Cambodian dish. This delicious treat is made by stuffing sticky rice, beans, and coconut milk into bamboo tubes and roasting them over an open fire. The result is a mouthwatering combination of flavors and textures.

15 min

After a day filled with adventure and exploration, your tour will conclude in Siem Reap. Whether you choose to continue your journey or return to Phnom Penh, you'll be left with unforgettable memories of the vibrant culture and breathtaking landscapes of Cambodia.

Ok but a bit boring

The car was comfortable and the driver was pleasant but it is just not a very interesting 7 hour drive. Our car broke down so we were delayed an hour but we were at the Spider Market so it wasn't so bad. I would prefer to fly if I had to travel between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh again.

A memorable and convenient drive

This was a great way to break up the drive between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh with a few fun stops that didn't add too much time to a route that will otherwise take the better part of a day. Thon is a friendly conversationalist who kept it interesting throughout by sharing insight into life in Cambodia that I wouldn't have gained if I'd just booked someone to transport me from point A to point B. I'm grateful for it. Do yourself a favor and schedule this one to get more out of the trip than you would otherwise. I promise you won't regret it.

Pleasant Indeed

This was the perfect way to get from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap. The car was very nice. After flying 30+ hours it was great to have plenty of space, comfy seats, and control of the air conditioning. The driver offered us a variety of stops. We liked getting to try some local snacks, but it was also OK to decline. I would definitely recommend this trip to other first-time visitors.

Great journey

Our driver Mr Sopheak was ready waiting for us ar our hotel this morning, very friendly shared stories, stopped for coffee, a picture at kampong bridge and got us to try local bamboo rice and crickets along the way too which was cool! Simon who organised the trip was very responsive and helpful on whatsapp providing all information for pick up the evening before - would recomend if you need to travel Siem Reap to Phnom Penh or vice versa

The Only way to see the Countryside!

Absolutely fantastic! Our driver went above and beyond - adding the floating village to our itinerary - which we really enjoyed. Spider Market was really interesting!

Super recommended

A perfect transfer from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap with driver Lavy! Luxurious car , very comfortable with water included. The various stops were very beautiful and interesting, from the insect market to the panoramic restaurant in the middle of rice fields and lotus flowers, from the ancient bridge to the tasting of rice cooked inside the bamboo cane. Book it with your eyes closed!

great trip to Siem Reap

Perfectly picked up on time from the hotel. Sopeh was a perfect driver: correct, friendly, accurate, safe rider, good and unhurried guide. Fun stops that make the trip from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap unforgettable indeed. Very good alternative, but actually much better alternative, for a short flight. Absolutely recommended
