終日プノンペンシティツアー

This is one of the best tours I’ve ever been on. Mr. Baboon and our driver Mr. Brown did a great job highlighting some of the most significant parts of Phnom Penh and its role in Cambodia’s history. Pickup was prompt at my hotel and we began the day visiting Cheoung Ek and S21 Prison. Witnessing these sites was powerful but Mr. Baboon shared stories and perspective that highlighted how the regime impacted daily life. After lunch we visited the Royal Palace where Mr. Baboon shared anecdotes about the palace’s history and also the role of Buddhism throughout the carvings, art, and architecture of the buildings on the palace grounds. (Mr Baboon also was a great photographer suggesting lots of nice places for pictures. Next we went to Wat Phnom learning about the history of the temple and the features of the hill before wrapping the day at Central Market. It’s a long day and some parts of the tour related to the killing fields and S21 may be challenging for some - however if you really want to get a vertical slice of Phnom Penh and you don’t have time to space visiting each site out I strongly recommend booking this experience

The start of the tour was from the hotel since hotel pickup was offered. The tour guide Mr. Sam picked up from the hotel and explained the schedule and the things what to expect during the day's tour. The large and spacious vehicle was provided and since only I was booked for the tour it was giving the feel of a private tour. A set of bananas were provided as fruits as said in the tour information. The tour covered all that was included in the things to expect, but needs to be closely followed since some visits needed to be reminded nearing the end of the tour. The visits started from the royal palace and then covering the killing fields, tuol sleng prison, independence monument and statue of former King. The tour guide was very informative and guided through the tourist locations providing historical information. Cold water was provided which helped in refreshing after every visit. The tour can be considered a complete package of the city but the cost of the tour could be much lesser. Such a price can be suited for private tours. As part of the tour, it would have been better if the museum was covered since it was worth a visit. Some places do regulate the dress code but it could be observed that it was not followed, so an appropriate outfit for the hot climate and respecting the places of visit would be recommended .
