Tour description
Get to know Cambodia's riverside capital on this free walking tour of central Phnom Penh. With a local guide you'll admire the golden spires of the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda, stroll the breezy Sisowath Quay where the Tonlé Sap and Mekong rivers meet, and visit the historic Wat Ounalom. Marvel at the art-deco dome of the Central Market, climb the leafy hill of Wat Phnom that gave the city its name, and hear a moving story of empire, French colonial times and resilience. Pick up insider tips on amok, iced coffee and the best riverside spots. Free to join — simply tip your guide whatever you feel it was worth at the end. Note: entry to the Royal Palace grounds requires a separate ticket.
