Past and Present in Phnom Penh
Bite-sized trip
Day 1 – Arrival in Phnom Penh
On arrival in Phnom Penh, you’ll settle into your cosy, central hotel and begin exploring the city at your own pace. With a hectic jumble of noise, colour and activity, there’s something interesting going on at every street corner. The people here have lived through untold horrors, yet there’s optimism and warmth in the air.
Days 2-3 – City tour, visit to the killing fields & departure
Today you’ll be taken on a guided tour of the city. You’ll visit Tuol Sleng Museum, a former Khmer torture site and the Killing Fields that’ll send shivers down your spine. After looking back, you’ll start thinking forward by visiting the Apsara Foundation, which educates Cambodian children and preserves local arts. The following morning you’ll continue on to your next destination.

Enjoy noodle soup at a pavement cafe, sample French bread at a local coffee shop, try traditional Khmer food as you wander past colonial buildings and visit markets packed with souvenirs, crafts and cuisine. This is a great tour for foodies to discover the variety on offer in this buzzing city.
Tonle Sap Evening Boat Trip
After a busy day sightseeing, we can arrange a relaxing, early evening boat ride along the Tonle Sap lake. The English speaking guide will fill you in on the interesting history attached to the lake. Tonle Sap is a life line for many in Cambodia, who earn their livelihood from selling fish, as well as home to many villages along its banks. As you float across the water you can see Phnom Penh sink into the night sky as the sun is setting. You’ll be taken back to your hotel about an hour later.
