Highlights

Sihanoukville - Greeted by an English-speaking driver at Sihanoukville port (Gate 1), you’ll be transferred via a private express highway from Sihanoukville to Phnom Penh. Upon arrival in Phnom Penh, an experienced English-speaking tour guide will assist you in exploring the city’s main attractions. After your visit, your English-speaking driver will take you back to Sihanoukville using the private express highway, dropping you off at your cruise port.
Phnom Penh - Upon arrival in Phnom Penh, an experienced English-speaking tour guide will help you explore the city’s main attractions.
Royal Palace - The Royal Palace is one of Phnom Penh’s most iconic landmarks. Construction began in 1886 after King Norodom moved the royal capital to Phnom Penh and was completed before World War I. Today, the palace remains the primary residence of the King of Cambodia.
Silver Pagoda - Located next to the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh, the beautiful Silver Pagoda offers a serene escape from the bustling streets of Cambodia’s capital. The interior is equally stunning, with countless handcrafted silver tiles covering the floor. Also known as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the pagoda’s main Buddha statue is made of emerald or baccarat crystal.
Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum - The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh chronicles the Cambodian genocide. Originally a secondary school, it was used as Security Prison 21 (S-21) by the Khmer Rouge regime from 1975 to 1979. An estimated 20,000 people were imprisoned here during that time. Tuol Sleng means “Hill of the Poisonous Trees” or “Strychnine Hill.” It was one of at least 150 torture and execution centers established by the Khmer Rouge. On July 26, 2010, the chief of Tuol Sleng Prison, Kang Kek Iew (alias Duch), was convicted of crimes against humanity and grave breaches of the 1949 Geneva Conventions and sentenced to life imprisonment.
Wat Phnom - Wat Phnom, set atop a 27-meter-high tree-covered knoll, is the only hill in town. According to legend, the first pagoda on this site was built in 1373 to house four Buddha statues deposited by the Mekong River and discovered by a woman named Penh. The main entrance is via a grand eastern staircase, guarded by lions and naga (snake) balustrades.
Independence Monument - Built in 1958 to commemorate Cambodia’s independence from France in 1953, the Independence Monument stands at the intersection of Norodom Boulevard and Sihanouk Boulevard in Phnom Penh. Designed by Cambodian architect Vann Molyvann, the lotus-shaped stupa stands 37 meters tall. During national celebrations, the monument becomes the center of activity, with a ceremonial flame often lit by a royal or high official and floral tributes lining the stairs. It is a popular site for both tourists and locals.
Statue of King Father Norodom Sihanouk - This large bronze memorial statue is located in Independent Square in the center of Phnom Penh.
Wat Ounalom - One of Phnom Penh’s five original monasteries, Wat Ounalom was established in 1422 and housed the Institute Bouddhique and library. Located about 250 meters north of the Royal Palace, facing the Tonle Sap River, this pagoda serves as the headquarters for one of Cambodia’s most revered Buddhist patriarchs. It is a major tourist attraction in Phnom Penh, offering a pleasurable experience for visitors.
Sihanoukville Autonomous Port - After visiting Phnom Penh, your English-speaking driver will transfer you back to Sihanoukville cruise port via the private express highway, dropping you off at your cruise port.

Enjoyable and experienced Phnom Penh - We were in sihanoukville and we booked day trip from Sihanoukville to visit Phnom Penh. It was very well organized that driver picked us up at Sihanoukville and drove by express way to Phnom Penh to meet our tour guide at wat phnom, where we started sightseeing in Phnom Penh. Our tour guide is knowledgeable with very good explanations of all places. We arrived back Sihanoukville at 06:15pm If you don’t have time to stay overnight in Phnom Penh, this is best tour choice to visit Phnom Penh. Identify recommended this day trip from Sihanoukville.

A great way to discover local Siem Reap - It was a great trip, Sara was a great guide with his team. He adapted our itinerary and pace as we had elder people and children so everyone was able to enjoy the trip. Highly recommended.
