Phnom Penh Private Tour: Udong Hill Sacred Stupas & Mekong Sunset Cruise

Experience the perfect balance of iconic history and authentic local culture on this unhurried 2-day private tour. Designed for travelers who want to see Siem Reap’s top highlights without feeling rushed, this itinerary seamlessly pairs the world-famous Angkor temples with the vibrant floating community of Tonle Sap Lake and modern Cambodian artisan traditions. What Makes This Tour Unique? • Explore the premier ancient sites in a single trip, including Angkor Wat, the stone faces of Bayon inside Angkor Thom, and the jungle-covered Tomb Raider temple (Ta Prohm). • Cruise Southeast Asia’s largest freshwater lake in a traditional wooden boat to experience the unique floating village culture. • Gain a deep appreciation for Khmer craft traditions with a guided visit to active silk, wood, and stone carving workshops at Artisans d'Angkor. • Travel in comfort with dedicated private transport, flexible scheduling, and personalized insights from your licensed English-speaking local guide.

This tour is perfect for those with a little more time on their hands and those interested in the recent Cambodian history. The War Museum houses a wide array of weapons and military vehicles collected from Cambodian battlefields and will shed a light on the recent years of turmoil and explain what shaped the country you see today. Wat Thmei, the Memorial of Victims of the Khmer Rouge Regime, is another sobering reminder of the recent, turbulent past of Cambodia. To lighten up the mood a little we suggest a visit to the Artisans d'Angkor workshop where skilled artists produce gorgeous pieces of lacquer, stone carvings and silver plating and seeing them at work shows the positive direction of the path Cambodia finds itself on today. If you don't find your souvenirs and gifts here then perhaps the Old Market will have what you are looking for. Browse and use your bartering skills to bring home your memories of Siem Reap.
