    Hot! But good

    Good trip but really hot. The driver was the guide so the walking was more than expected. To club to the top 4pm the group made it but were really soaked. 2 of us turned back and stayed on the van with the ac on. The guide/driver trusted us and gave us the keys.

    Response from the operator: yes, value bruce! thanks for your review and much greeting from our team.

    Historic cities and market food tour

    The guide is very professional and enthusiastic, offering a lot of knowledge about the history and culture of Phnom Penh, leading us to visit each of the attractions of Mount Udo, and explain the knowledge of Buddhism and Hinduism at once, to get to the top of the mountain. After descending the mountain introduced various specialty dishes of the local market, interested to buy and taste. After the tour, introduce us to the Central Market for food and shopping. Very perfect trip.

    Response from the operator: thanks a millions for your spent time to visited udong old capital of cambodia.

    Udong Old Capital Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phnom Penh.

    How much does Udong Old Capital Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $130 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 Udong Old Capital Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 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 Udong Old Capital Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 3 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 Udong Old Capital 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 Udong Old Capital Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Udong Old Capital Tour?

    +

    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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Udong Old Capital 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.
