Phnom Penh Silk Island Half-Day Tour - Top-Rated Experience
Full description
This is a 4-hour experience from Phnom Penh, built around Mongkol Serey Temple, Koh Oknha Tei Market and Silk Island. It is run by Siem Reap er Travel, 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.
Phnom Penh sits where the Mekong, the Tonle Sap and the Bassac meet, and the riverfront promenade along Sisowath Quay is where the city walks in the evening. Koh Dach, the silk island, is a short ferry upstream and still has weavers working handlooms under their houses, selling direct. Oudong, 40 kilometres north-west, was the royal capital for more than 250 years until 1866 and its hilltop stupas hold the ashes of kings. The Central Market's art deco dome opened in 1937 and the Russian Market, properly Psar Toul Tom Poung, is the one for silver, silk and knock-offs.
The price covers Hotel pickup and drop off, English tour guide, Vespa or tuk-tuk driver, Village donation and Ferry trips to the island. It does not cover Personal 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.

Traveler Reviews
Sok was a very good and kind guide. All in all a very nice, relaxing and informative trip in the country side close to Phnom Penh.
It was great our guide Sok was very knowledgeable, attentive and great with our 2 kids (7&4). All things were covered with the price of the tour and the evening ferry ride was a great end to the day
Loved this tour, Tin Tin was a great guide and full of energy and our driver was excellent. Learned a lot about the silk industry and highly recommend!
Our guide Sam and the lady (sorry forgot name) were wonderful guides. We had an enjoyable tour on the Vespa’s. Everything ran to clockwork and the activities included were interesting and informative.
We were very happy with the tour to Silk Island. Our tour guide and tuk-tuk driver were both very friendly and enthusiastic. We experienced and saw a lot that day. We would definitely recommend this tour.
An all round amazing experience! Our guide (Mon) met us early and was extremely friendly and able to answer any of our questions. Our tour included the temple, tour of the silk island (and markets) and tour of the silk shop. It was wonderful to meet the family who had been making such products for generations. Would 100% recommend the lunch option as food is incredible. Overall very informative and our guide made for an excellent experience.
Wonderful trip. I was fortunate the trip still ran despite being the only traveller today. Superb guiding and driving with 3 ferry trips included. Highly recommended.
Could not complain at all about the tour. The guide LEE was fab. Very chatty, attentive, very knowledgeable and most importantly made us laugh. Loved all of the tour Never been to a tofu processing unit. Very interesting. Loved the silk processing too. Bought a scarf . Beautiful. Bonus was the Buddhist blessing, visiting the local school. Beautiful children All in all would recommend LEE and driver. You won’t be disappointed. Book the tour ….. it’s great value for money x
We had an amazing day on this tour. It was a great way to see the Phnom Penh Silk islands and our drivers were excellent and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this trip
Sin was a good tour guide! He was very clear and detailed when it came to to the historical places! The tuk tuk driver was such a good driver! Very considerate and smooth!
Lee was a phenomenal guide! He likes to share his knowledge about Cambodia and also learn about his guests. This tour was a fantastic way to spend the morning away from the city.
Tin Tin and Visal were amazing. We had a fantastic trip and a great day. They provided helmets, so we felt very safe, and the vespa option is fabulous to experience Phnom Penh in a different way. Everything was wonderful. The drivers spoke good English, they were very friendly and prepared, and it was a great day. We stopped at a silk making factory, a tofu skin factory, a pagoda, and got to have lunch at a local place. Everything was absolutely incredible. Highly recommend this tour, keep it going! It's a great option to have.
