About this experience
Equipped with a digital tablet and headphones provided, step back in time with Phnom Penh Heritage Tour to discover the city's superb heritage. While the journey offers a glimpse of the vibrant bustle of today, each of the 19 stops invites you to step back in time to discover 22 sites inherited from the time when Cambodia was placed under French protectorate. The video guide reveals the history of each place with films, vintage photos and historical anecdotes. It also offers the privilege of virtually entering certain buildings inaccessible to the public. The transformation of a fishing village into a capital, the first urbanization on a French model, the craze for Art Deco architecture, the organization of the social fabric, the royal family, the lifestyle of the elite at the beginning of the 20th century and the dark hours of the Khmer Rouge regime are all topics discussed during the Phnom Penh Heritage Tour.

Fantastic heritage Night Tour
The heritage Night Tour was fantastic. Oliver was a knowledgeable and helpful guide and so passionate about bringing Phnom Penh’s history to life. A drink at Raffles historic Elephant Bar was a great finish to the tour. Thoroughly recommended!

Amazing tour
They shouldn’t know anything. Just come sit and enjoy tour with guide as well as tab with recorded sessions in your language. Cold Water bottle provided.

Great introduction to the city!
We had an excellent tour with Rija. A great way to explore the city when you first arrived and get an overview of the history and work out where to spend more time. The fan on the bus was greatly appreciated and the videos were good especially when buildings were under construction.
via Viator
Highly recommend for an increased knowledge of Cambodia.
The guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. He was friendly, considerate and his English was very good.

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Guided Phnom Penh Heritage Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phnom Penh.
How much does Guided Phnom Penh Heritage Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $24 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Phnom Penh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Guided Phnom Penh Heritage Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Phnom Penh is not rushed.
Is Guided Phnom Penh Heritage Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 53 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Phnom Penh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Guided Phnom Penh Heritage Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Guided Phnom Penh Heritage Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Guided Phnom Penh Heritage Tour?
+
Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Phnom Penh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Phnom Penh and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Guided Phnom Penh Heritage Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Phnom Penh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Phnom Penh?
+
On Outty we rank every Phnom Penh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half Day Tuol Sleng S21 and Choeung Ek Killing Field Tour, The Killing Field and Toul Sleng Genocide Museum (S21) Tour, Killing field and Toul Sleng genocide museum Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Phnom Penh?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Phnom Penh?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
