Sights and Insights
Today is an early morning start (8:00AM) and your private guide will pick you up at your hotel for a tour that is partially on foot, as well as tuk tuks. First stop is at the Pshar Kandal, Phnom Pen's oldest market, to enjoy delicacies such as fried noodles, BBQ beef with papaya salad, noodle soup, and delicious rice and coconut treats. Then it’s a walk to the French Quarter, which will open your eyes to Phnom Penh's colonial era architecture. Admire Belle Epoque and Art Deco design, a train station built during colonial times as wells as the Buddhist Temple, Wat Phnom, the tallest religious structure in the city. A true landmark in the city is Psah Thmey, once known as the biggest market in Asia. You'll have a chance to meet a traditional fortune teller (Optional: $5 USD), and taste a variety of local snacks. To quench your thirst, try a refreshing Teuk Ampil, a popular drink consisting of sugar cane juice poured over ice. After touring the market, a tuk tuk will take you back to your hotel.
In the afternoon, learn about Cambodia's devastating history, visiting the notorious Tuol Sleng Prison, housed in a high school, and glimpse the horrors that prevailed during Cambodia's ultra-radical Marxist movement. This excursion may prove distressing for some; it is, however, an important piece of Cambodia’s recent past. Afterwards, take an excursion to Choeng Ek, site of former orchards where more than 17,000 civilians were killed and buried in mass graves by the Khmer Rouge between 1975 - 1979. Known as the "Killing Fields," it is located around 10 miles outside of Phnom Penh. This private tour includes tuk tuk transfers, an English-speaking guide, entrance fees, food, cool water and towels.
