Mr Makara was very knowledgeable about the recent history of Khmer Rouge, the Genocide and the Cambodian Royalty.He was very patient and explained things very well.He covered the full itinerary and we took our time in seeing everything.In the evening we took a leisurely boat ride on the Mekong River.Overall we were very satisfied with Mr.Makara. Danit is a skilled and careful driver and very cooperative.He is also very punctual.We felt very comfortable & secure with his driving. We have no hesitation in recommending both individuals.

Interesting tour, knowledgeable guide!
Our guide, Makara, was very knowledgeable about every place we visited! From temples to palace to the genocide museum, the tour covers a lot!
via Tripadvisor
Excellent tour with just the right touch of school-style lecture interspersed with humor!
We traveled in a large group (17) people and still had everything go smoothly. Thorn, aka Tom, was very knowledgeable and witty. He was super polite, well-organized, flexible, and patient (we had a few stragglers who were always a bit late). Our full-day tour of Phnom Penh included all the main highlights. What was supposed to be a 7-8 hour tour ended up becoming a 10+ hour tour because of some last-minute changes we requested, but Thorn and our driver, Piep (sp) managed to make everything work out without a hitch.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Phnom Penh Full Day Tour with Sunset Cruise on the Mekong River: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phnom Penh.
How much does Phnom Penh Full Day Tour with Sunset Cruise on the Mekong River cost?
+
Prices start at $165 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 Phnom Penh Full Day Tour with Sunset Cruise on the Mekong River take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Phnom Penh Full Day Tour with Sunset Cruise on the Mekong River worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Phnom Penh Full Day Tour with Sunset Cruise on the Mekong River?
+
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 Phnom Penh Full Day Tour with Sunset Cruise on the Mekong River suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Phnom Penh Full Day Tour with Sunset Cruise on the Mekong River?
+
Around 1 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Phnom Penh Full Day Tour with Sunset Cruise on the Mekong River 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.
