June 20, 2021 Rebbecca Marino

Budget-minded travelers will appreciate Phnom Penh's reasonably priced hotel rooms (several top-rated hotels on TripAdvisor offer rooms around $40/night). Explore the city's temples, palaces, and the remnants of its French colonial history. Just outside the city, the The Killing Fields (Choeung Ek) are a reminder of Cambodia's tragic past-- a somber contrast to the booming city of today.

4. 4 Hours Private Phnom Penh National Museum and Royal Palace Tour

Green Era Travel

Welcome to Phnom Penh! The capital city of Cambodia lies at the confluence of the Mekong, Tonle Sap and Bassac rivers. Phnom Penh was regarded by many as the most beautiful of all the French-built cities in Indochina and so was formerly called the pearl of Indochina. It was a bustling commercial center during the French occupation, but the years of war crushed it to a field of ruins before becoming a ghost-city during the Khmer Rouges period. It’s only since the 90’s that the city really began to recover and today it has reestablished itself as the political and financial center of the country. Its rich historical past can be traced to some Khmer and French influence evidences such as many ornate Khmer–style temples and some grand colonial buildings.

Inclusions: Transport by private air-conditioned vehicle, English-speaking Guide, Bottled water, Hotel pickup and drop-off

It was a short planned tour to Siem Reap, but for the 2 days stay I managed to gain maximum of the time. Green Era company ensured convenient transport and good planing so to visit many temples in a day. The guide San - Mr Chau Touchsan, is passionate story-teller who navigates through the centuries, facts and beauty of the places, so for the visitors is engaging and learning in the same time. He also knows well the hidden jems on each location, so visitors get surprises on every corner.
