Full description

A half-day experience in Phnom Penh. The operator sums it up as easy & comfortable sightseeing with the big bus hop-on hop-off format. The price covers English-speaking tour guide at each sightseeing(location), Round-trip hotel pick-up and drop-off and Hop-on Hop-off Ticket. It does not cover entrance fees (royal palace & silver pag, local guide at national museum and food and other expense, 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. The price steps with party size rather than multiplying: 1 traveller is $140, 4 is $359 and 7 is $482. You are quoted the total for your party, not a per-head rate. Welcome Pickups runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.
