Oudong Mountain - Phnom Penh Former Capital Private Day Tour
Full description
A full-day trip from Phnom Penh that visits Phnom Penh and Oudong. The price covers Hotel Pick-up and Entrance fee, Wat Phnom Temple and nearby Lady Penh Statue in the heart of and Drive through countryside and villages. It does not cover lunch and gratuities, 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. Phnom Penh's Royal Palace has been the residence of the Cambodian king since 1866 and is still lived in, so the royal apartments are closed and the Throne Hall is seen from outside. The Silver Pagoda in the same compound takes its name from the five thousand silver tiles of its floor, most now covered to protect them, and holds a Buddha of 90 kilograms of gold set with over two thousand diamonds. The palace enforces a dress code at the gate: shoulders and knees covered for everyone. The National Museum next door has the best Khmer sculpture anywhere, and it closes for lunch. The price steps with party size rather than multiplying: 1 traveller is $85, 5 is $195 and 8 is $260. You are quoted the total for your party, not a per-head rate. About Cambodia Travel and Tours runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.

Traveler Reviews
Charming friendly guide and good driver, helpful to help by local foods at markets and during visits. To Oudong from Phnom Penh is a long drive by tuc tuc, even if you stop in between
I booked a tour with Mr. Vann, and it was absolutely worth my time. The tour was very well planned, informative, and made for a great day. Mr. Vann was knowledgeable about the history and the places we visited, and he was incredibly accommodating throughout the day. He took the time to drive me around and made sure I was comfortable and enjoying the experience. Iβm very happy with the tour and would definitely recommend Mr. Vann to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and reliable guide. A great experience from start to finish!
If you're in Phnom Penh and are looking for a day trip, I'd highly recommend taking this tour. My guide, Pum, was excellent--very knowledgeable and informative of all the locations we visited; I got a rounded dive into Khmer history & culture, and even some theology! Traveling in August is low season for tourism, so many of the places were nearly empty of visitors, making the experience even more unique.
Very interesting tour and provided a variety of drinks to stay cool in the heat
Incredible tour - Visal made the tour feel like spending time with an old friend. Highly recommend!
We really liked Mr. Vann and all his stories. Very knowledgeable not of just of the mountain and temples but also of Cambodian history which we appreciated very much. Mr. Vann was also very accommodating. He answered a lot of our questions, gave us tips on where to go and what to eat. Two thumbs up.
We had such a wonderful day with Pum, he was so friendly, informative and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the TukTuk experience. Pum really looked after us and we had a lovely siesta in the hammock after lunch. Highly recommended ππ½
This tour was fantastic from start to finish. The van was very comfortable and thoughtfully stocked with water, towelletes, and even beer, which made the experience especially enjoyable. Pum did an excellent job preparing us for what to expect and was incredibly patient and supportive as we navigated a lot of walking and stair climbing. It is definitely active, but absolutely worth it. One of our favorite moments was the break at the local market, where we could relax on elevated platforms and enjoy local food. Lunch was only $15 and included an impressive amount of delicious food. In total, w
Pum was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. He was easy going and professional. It was quite hot but he let us take breaks climbing the stairs!
Our guide and driver Pum was excellent. He was very informative at all stops. We had an excellent lunch at his suggestion. We chose the car option, lucky we did as it was very hot. He had cold water and wet wipes after each stop and kept checking we were ok. Thank you for a great day
Excellent activity! Our guide Mr. Vann was outstanding - a kind, attentive, knowledgeable and witty host who spoke extremely good English. Highly, highly recommended.
I had an amazing tour and day with Visal. I felt extremely lucky to have him as my guide for the day. He was very knowledgeable in all the sites we visited, history, religous and culturaly. He was very accomodating the entire day and kept me safe and happy all day. I cannot thank Visal enough for the amazing day he created for me. Thankyou so much Visal ππ€
