Royal Palace, City and Silk Islands - Half/Full Day in Phnom Penh
Full description
This is a 4-hour experience in Phnom Penh. 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'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 covers English-speaking driver, Pickup & drop-off, Round-trip by Tuk-Tuk, Mekong River ferry crossing and Cold mineral water. It does not cover Royal Palace 10$, National Museum 10$, Wat Phnom Hill Pagoda 1$ and Donation for Silk Craft Center 2$, 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
Nice guide, absolutely what we were looking for. Easy trip, nice locations, good it all. Give it a try.
An excellent tour from start to finish! Visiting the Royal Palace, discovering the local life on Silk Island, and learning about Cambodian culture made this a truly memorable experience. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and explained everything clearly throughout the day. The itinerary was well organized, transportation was comfortable, and there was plenty of time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Phnom Penh and wanting to discover both the city's history and the peaceful countryside.
Nulla di speciale. Ma la guida è davvero simpatica e molto disponibile
Se dovessi valutare soltanto la guida che mi ha accompagnata dall’inizio alla fine del tour darei 5 stelle, non do il massimo sia perché non penso che questo tour valesse il prezzo che ho pagato e sia perché una delle guide locali mi ha esplicitamente chiesto una mancia per l’affitto di casa…
Tour autentico e interessante. Consigliato!
