Itinerário
O Palácio Real, localizado na margem do rio, é a residência oficial do Rei Cambojano e sua família. Aqui você visitará uma variedade de edifícios ornamentados e coloridos com telhados dourados e torres imponentes, que são ótimos exemplos da arquitetura Khmer clássica. Nosso passeio inclui o Salão do Trono, o Pavilhão Napoleão III e o Pagode de Prata com seu piso de ladrilhos prateados e artefatos incríveis. Uma visita ao Palácio fornece uma visão interessante do passado real do Camboja e da riqueza da arte e do artesanato Khmer.
O impressionante Monumento da Independência, em estilo Angkoriano, foi construído em 1958 para comemorar a independência do Camboja em 1953 de seu passado colonial sob o governo da França. Localizado em uma grande rotatória, na intersecção de duas grandes avenidas, fica no coração da cidade. O Monumento fornece um marco notável, ponto de referência e é o centro de atividades durante muitas celebrações nacionais.
Tuol Sleng é um museu que registra o genocídio cambojano cometido pelo regime do Khmer Vermelho de 1975 a 1979. O museu é o local de uma antiga escola secundária que foi usada como Prisão de Segurança 21 (S21) pelo Khmer Vermelho. Uma visita a este museu, e aos Campos da Morte intimamente associados, é essencial para obter compreensão dos eventos trágicos e de partir o coração que moldaram a sociedade cambojana moderna. Toul Sleng era um local de detenção, interrogatório e tortura, e sua preservação mantém evidências daquele período recente e trágico na história do Camboja. Visitar o museu serve para encorajar visitantes de todo o mundo a promover a paz.
Os Campos da Morte são locais ao redor do Camboja onde, no total, cerca de 1,3 milhão de pessoas foram mortas e enterradas pelo então governo sob a liderança do Khmer Vermelho e do Primeiro Ministro Pol Pot. Esses crimes terríveis contra a humanidade são conhecidos como o genocídio cambojano. O mais famoso deles é Choeung Ek, um antigo pomar a cerca de 15 km de Phnom Penh, e agora preservado como um museu para os visitantes saberem e entenderem o que aconteceu durante aquele tempo trágico. Choeung Ek era intimamente associado ao centro de detenção de Tuol Sleng.
O Mercado Central (Phsar Thmei) é um proeminente edifício art déco em forma de cruz com uma cúpula central espetacular. As quatro asas da cruz estão cheias de barracas vendendo joias de ouro e prata, moedas antigas, relógios de marca falsos e souvenirs. Há barracas de ferragens, um mercado molhado, roupas e itens domésticos, pontos de venda de alimentos... uma enorme variedade de produtos para venda. Este é um lugar popular para turistas navegarem, encontrarem uma pechincha ou comprarem presentes e recordações para levar para casa.
Wat Phnom é um templo budista construído em uma colina artificial coberta de árvores no lado norte da cidade. Este é um marco histórico e cultural, e um lugar de tranquilidade na cidade movimentada. O stupa principal fica espetacularmente no topo da colina e consagra as cinzas do rei Ponhea Yat que em 1434 chegou e construiu a cidade de Phnom Penh. Wat Phnom se tornou uma atração central na cidade para visitantes Khmer e estrangeiros e é uma "visita obrigatória" quando estiver em Phnom Penh.

Sam was an excellent guide for our visit to the Choeung Ek Genocidal Center and S-21 prison in Phnom Penh. His English was clear and he was extremely knowledgeable, helping us understand the history of Cambodia in a meaningful way. Overall a great experience. highly recommend Mr Sam Ang.
Many thanks Advanture for taking time to review your tour. I am delighted that you enjoyed your tour. I hope to see you and your fiancée again soon. Best regards, Sam Ang Kesar-Kesor Khmer Tours
Sam was an excellent tour guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and informative, sharing great details throughout the tour, and his friendly, approachable personality made the whole experience even better. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, and we left feeling like we’d genuinely learned something. Highly recommend booking a tour with Sam!
Thank you so much Isabellau for taking the time to review the tour. I am delighted that you and your fiancé enjoyed it very much. I hope to see both of you again in Phnom Penh. Best regards, Sam
He was an amazing tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the places, explained everything clearly, and was incredibly helpful. At the same time, if you had any questions, he was ready to answer you immediately. I had a lot of fun with him. If you're planning a trip to Phnom Penh, I highly recommend this tour guide.
Many thanks Dr. Daniel. ohm and Trenton for your very review. It was my pleasure to meet you and be your guide the second time. It is equally enjoyable for me to talk and learn from people from different countries. I hope to see you again in Phnom Penh.
I booked a private tour, and everything was effortless. Sam and the driver were early/on time, and all costs were clearly stated up front. I had good communication beforehand via WhatsApp, and everything on the tour could be customized (e.g., due to hot temperatures, I asked to skip a site and go someplace else instead). Honestly, though, what made the tour the most special was chatting with Sam, who worked as a learning specialist prior to becoming a tour guide and is obviously from Cambodia. I can go and see sites myself, read books by myself, etc., but booking tours allows for interactions and learning I would not otherwise have. I highly recommend - and fun fact: as a parent of two, Sam knows just about every possible kid-oriented place/activity, including playgrounds by feature and ranking, around!

Sam Ang was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was able to show us everything and allow us to return to the ship on time. I would highly recommend him.
Many thanks Mrs. Sonia for your best review. I am glad that you and your husband enjoyed my city tour. I hope to see both of you again in Phnom Penh. With best regards, Sam Ang
Sam was an amazing guide and very knowledgeable about Cambodian history. He also had insight into the reign of the Khmer Rouge as his family was personally affected. It was a great day going to the historical sites and Pagodas. He can be found on facebook with Kesar-Kesor Khmer tours. Sam-Ang Eng.
Fabulous! Many thanks Mrs. Stephanie for your very kind review. I am ready to appreciate it! I hope to see you again soon. Sincerely, Sam Ang Kesar-Kesor Khmer Tours, Cambodia
Had an amazing tour. Sam was very knowledgable and I learnt so much about the history of Cambodia. Visiting the killing fields and the prison, and learning about the historically recent genocide carried out by the Khmer Rouge is a very emotional part of the tour. However, I think it’s something we all should learn about. It’s very humbling. Also, I urge everybody to purchase a book or 2 from the people that are selling them at the killing fields and the prison. Still alive, and sitting in the very spot where they endured so much pain, so they can sell their story and perhaps make a few dollars in the process. I was on my own with Sam and a driver. Sam knew exactly what time to be where, and how to navigate the whole experience while avoiding all the crowds. I 100% recommend this tour. Tku Sam for an amazing day.
Many thanks Mr. Craig for your very kind review. I am glad that you enjoyed my city tour. I hope to catch up with you again in Phnom Penh. With best regards, Sam Ang
It was a wonderful day. There was a lot to cover but Sam was the perfect guide who made the day flow comfortably. The day was a mixture of wonderful sights and interesting history around the Palace and Temples, alongside the challenging and horrific story of the 1970's. Sam dealt with everything in a most appropriate way and provided us with a memorable day, assisted by his very professional driver Michael. We would be pleased to recommend their services to anyone who would like to understand the history of Cambodia and specifically it's capital Phnom Penh. Thank you Sam.
Thank you very much for your great review. I am so exiting to hear that you loved my city tour. I hope to see you and your wife again in Phnom Penh. I wish you and the family good luck and stay healthy. Big regards, Sam
The full day Phnom Penh City Tour was a great experience. Our guide Sam was fantastic and very knowledgeable. We had a great experience during the tour and especially visiting the Palace and Genocide Museum and Centre. I would recommend the tour to anyone visiting the city for a day as it covers all the major sites with Sam providing his knowledgeable perspective of the city. His assistant Michael was great too, and both are great.
Many thanks Mrs. Priyanka N for your great review. I and Michael feel very happy that you and your friend enjoyed the tour. We hope to see both of you again in Phnom Penh. Best regards, Sam
We had a great full day city tour of Phnom Penh. Our Guide Sam Ang was very knowledgeable, informative and courteous. He has vast knowledge of Cambodian history which he explained very well during our full day city tour. His assistant Michael was also great. I would recommend the full day city tour and Sam as a guide
Thank you very much Mrs. Praful Naik for your kind review. I am very happy that you and your friend loved my city tour. I wish you good luck and stay healthy. Best regards, Sam Ang
