Great experience
I had an excellent time touring parts of Phnom Penh. I would highly suggest doing the tour as soon as possible after arriving that way you know which areas to focus on after the tour. My tour guide “Font” spoke well and clear English which made the tour that much more pleasant. In addition Font was well informed about the area and history of Cambodia.

Hop on hop off bus trip
Sadly we couldn’t hop on and off due to the bus being booked privately for the next four hours so couldn’t pickup. Makes a joke of the hop on hop off idea. After complaining and some negotiation we were told to come back at 4.30 for the sunset trip and cruise. The Mekong River cruise described as optional is actually at an additional charge. Not well explained. The one hour cruise lasted only 45 minutes and a free drink was not included. Hop on hop off is a great concept but a bit under developed and under resourced in this instance. Staff was lovely and the commentary okay.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry your experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that our Hop-On Hop-Off service operates on scheduled departure times, and on rare occasions a bus may be unavailable due to operational requirements. We apologize for the inconvenience and were pleased to offer you our 4:30 PM Sunset Tour as an alternative. Regarding the Mekong River cruise, it is an optional add-on and not included with the standard bus ticket. We appreciate your comments and will continue improving how we communicate our schedules and tour inclusions. Thank you for recognizing our friendly staff, and we hope to welcome you again in the future.

Different ways to visit Siem Reap
Even though we’re Cambodians and have lived in Siem Reap for years, we often spend our weekends walking around the city. This tour gave us a fresh and unique way to experience Siem Reap. We felt safe and well looked after thanks to the excellent driving and friendly service from the Tiara team. The bus tour takes you around the city and along the moat of Angkor Wat, making the journey both relaxing and enjoyable. If you’re feeling stressed from work or studying, we highly recommend this tour to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Siem Reap. Cheers.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It means a lot to us to hear that, even as locals, you discovered a fresh and enjoyable way to experience Siem Reap. We’re delighted that our team made you feel safe and well looked after throughout the tour. Thank you for your kind recommendation—we hope to welcome you back again for another relaxing ride soon!

Phnom Penh: Hop On Hop Off Big Bus Angkor: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phnom Penh.
How much does Phnom Penh: Hop On Hop Off Big Bus Angkor cost?
+
Prices start at $9 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: Hop On Hop Off Big Bus Angkor take?
+
Plan for about 1.1 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: Hop On Hop Off Big Bus Angkor worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 11 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: Hop On Hop Off Big Bus Angkor?
+
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: Hop On Hop Off Big Bus Angkor suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Phnom Penh: Hop On Hop Off Big Bus Angkor?
+
Around 4 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 1.1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Phnom Penh: Hop On Hop Off Big Bus Angkor 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 The Killing Field and Toul Sleng Genocide Museum (S21) Tour, Visit 11 Places in One Day including S21 & Killing Field, 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.
