Full description

This is a 4-hour experience in Phnom Penh, built around Tuk tuk and Phnom Penh. It is run by Welcome Pickups, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Tuol Sleng was a Phnom Penh secondary school that the Khmer Rouge turned into Security Prison 21 in 1975. Of the roughly 12,000 to 20,000 people held there, a dozen or so survived. The classrooms still have the iron bed frames and the photographs the regime took of every prisoner on arrival. Choeung Ek, about 15 kilometres out, is where most were taken to be killed, and its stupa holds some 5,000 skulls; the audio guide there is narrated in part by a survivor and is the reason most visitors manage it at all. Both are done quietly, take about half a day together, and are not suitable for young children.

The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off, Roundtrip transportation, Private tour guide, Cold drinking water and Towels. It does not cover Genocide Museum entry and audio guide, Killing Fields entry and audio guide, Royal Palace entry and Wat Phnom entry, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Our tour guide Mr Visal is knowledgable. Overall experience was great and the transport came with choices of cold drinks, cola and Angkor beer. Mr Visal also recommended the restaurant with local foods which are delicious and good value for money, and most importantly the restaurant does not sell different menu to foreigner!

Lim was our tourguide for a 4 hour Phnom Phen City Tour with TukTuk. As a former teacher he told us not only the „ must see“ parts but also the knowledge behind. We could ask him anything and he still provided the correct answer. So we learned also much about architecture, the cambodian people, their religions and in depth the history up to the present day. We had so much fun with him we even extended the tour to see the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. We absolutely recommend Lim as a well mannered good driving tourguide with a huge knowledge.

Visal was an excellent guide and this tour was one of the best tours we have done having traveled to 40 countries. We value flexibility the most so booking the private tuk tuk tour allowed us to travel at our own pace and see all of the sites we wanted to see in a timely fashion. Additionally, Visal took us to more sites than listed on the description, which was exciting and nonetheless generous! Would highly recommend this tour!

I had an amazing tuk-tuk tour around Phnom Penh with my local guide, Visal. He is an extremely honest, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable person. Visal drove very safely throughout the entire tour and made me feel comfortable from the beginning. He took me to the main tourist attractions in the city and explained the history and importance of each place in a very interesting and easy-to-understand way. His knowledge of Phnom Penh and Cambodian history is truly impressive. He was also very patient, respectful, and always willing to answer all my questions. During the tour, I was able to

A fantastic tour. Visal was great in making small quick additional stops and giving updates and information about where we had stopped. Even though the S21 and Killing fields were very sad and emotional, I am so glad I did this tour. Thank you Visal for sharing a part of your history, culture and knowledge. I highly recommend this tour.

We had an amazing full-day private city tour in Phnom Penh with Mr. Bin! He was extremely friendly, reliable, and always made sure we felt comfortable throughout the day. The tour was good organized, and we were able to visit all the important highlights of the city at our own pace. Mr. Bin shared interesting insights about Cambodian history and local life, which made the experience much more meaningful. He also adapted the itinerary flexibly to our preferences. The tuk-tuk ride itself was a great way to explore Phnom Penh – comfortable, authentic, and fun. Overall, this was one of the best ex

This tour is everything it’s advertised to be and so much more… Mr Lim was an absolute legend… a fountain of local knowledge and a passionate love for Cambodia that he’s eager to share… I have a deeper knowledge and understanding of the history and culture of Cambodia that I never expected, from the traumatic to the triumphant, this tour covers all the bases… Mr Lim was also a great photographer throughout the tour and always ready with a cold drink, plus who doesn’t love getting around in a traditional tuk tuk… absolutely recommend!

Nick did a good job of taking me around PP. The day is jam packed with getting to know Cambodia's history and culture. I would totally recommend having a tour guide for the royal palace, the S21 museum and the killing field.
