Absolutely fantastic tour covering the key sites of Phnom Penh. Five stars!
This city tour took me to all the important sites of Phnom Penh, the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda, Wat Phnom, the National Museum, Independence Monument and more.
And best of all, it was done on the back of a motorscooter, with open panoramic views of the city, unhindered by traffic and the lovely fresh wind for air conditioning.
My host, Manich, was extremely knowledgeable of the city, imparting to me the history, culture and social significance of all the sites as well as having me participate in any activities that were available. I loved how she showed me the way to pray to Buddha in the Silver Pagoda, lighting the incense and kneeling and bowing before the Buddha statue. The serenity and peace in the temple was truly inspiring.
And the Royal Palace grounds, is truly a marvel to behold, an expansive area adorned with the most illustrious of buildings, laden with gold, silver, chandeliers, and the most exquisite furniture and decorations.
And for those who have never tried a motorbike tour, this really is one of the best and fun ways to explore the city, weaving in and out effortlessly between traffic and being able to reach places not possible via other modes of transport. Throughout the tour Manich also showed how skilled a rider she was and was always watchful of my safety and security.
A great tour overall and absolute must do for anyone's itinerary. Don't miss out!
