Ready to explore Cambodia?

Join us on a 5-day adventure crafted by Asia Tour Deals, part of our carefully designed Cambodia Tour Packages, that covers some of the country's top highlights. 

Starting in Phnom Penh, you'll experience the bright city life, then head to Siem Reap to marvel at the world-famous Angkor Wat. Along the way, you'll learn about Cambodia's tough history at the Killing Fields and Tuol Sleng Museum, enjoy the peaceful scenery of Tonle Sap Lake, and soak in the incredible sights and sounds of this fascinating country. 

This well-balanced Cambodia Itinerary mixes guided tours with free time, so you can explore at your own pace—whether you want to dig into Cambodia’s history or relax in its beautiful surroundings. 

It's a great choice whether you're visiting for the first time or returning to see more. Let’s come to discover the rich culture and natural beauty that make Cambodia so special!

Highlights of the Tour

  • Visit West Baray, an ancient Khmer reservoir that's been around for ages, and Wat Thmei, a memorial that reflects Cambodia's more recent history.
  • Checking out local art at Les Artisans d’Angkor, and if you're up for it, enjoy an Apsara dance dinner show — it's a real treat.
  • Wander around Angkor Thom, where you'll find iconic spots like Bayon Temple, Elephant Terrace, and Leper King Terrace.
  • Take a stroll through Ta Prohm, where massive trees have grown right through the temple ruins — it's like stepping into a jungle adventure.
  • Marveling at Angkor Wat, a UNESCO World Heritage site that’s truly breathtaking.
  • Hop on a boat to the floating village on Tonle Sap Lake and see how local life unfolds on the water.
  • Visit Wat Bo Pagoda, known for its beautiful murals depicting stories from the Ramayana.
  • Visit the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda to get a glimpse of Cambodia's royal history and stunning Khmer architecture.
  • Pay a visit to the Independence Monument and take some time exploring the National Museum to learn about Cambodia's rich heritage.
  • Walk along the riverside and hike up Phnom Daun Penh hill for great city views.
  • Spend a moment at the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S-21) to reflect on Cambodia’s past.
  • Come to the Russian Market, where you can shop and immerse yourself in local life.

Itinerary

Upon arrival at the airport, you'll be greeted by our local guide and taken to your hotel. After settling in, you'll visit the West Baray, a large ancient water reservoir built by the Khmer people. 

Next, explore Wat Thmei, also known as the Killing Field, which features a glass-walled stupa housing bones of victims from the Khmer Rouge era—some recovered from nearby wells and others of soldiers who fell in nearby battles. Later, visit Les Artisans d'Angkor – Chantiers École, a place displaying authentic Khmer crafts and arts. 

Enjoy a welcome buffet dinner accompanied by a traditional Apsara dance show (cost not included). 

Overnight stay in Siem Reap.

Today, you'll start with a visit to the South Gate of Angkor Thom, known as Big Angkor—a 3 km² walled city that served as the last capital of the Khmer Empire.

Discover the Bayon Temple, famed for its smiling faces and complex architecture, built over many years. Walk along the Terrace of the Elephants, a long wall decorated with carved elephants, leading to Baphuon, a grand temple mountain, and the Royal Palace area, including Phimeanakas, a striking sandstone pyramid.

At the north end, see the Terrace of the Leper King, featuring detailed carvings of mythical beings and demons. In the afternoon, explore Ta Prohm, famous for its giant trees intertwined with ancient ruins—a beautiful mix of human craftsmanship and natural beauty.

Later, visit Angkor Wat, built by King Suryavarman II in the 12th century as a Hindu temple dedicated to Vishnu. Its pyramidal design, surrounded by galleries, ditches, and courtyards, makes it one of the world's most extraordinary architectural feats.

The evening is free for you to enjoy local bars and the lively atmosphere at Angkor Night Market. Return to your hotel for the night.

This morning, we'll take you to explore the Floating Villages, located about 10 kilometers south of Siem Reap. Hop on a traditional wooden boat to cruise the Tonle Sap, Cambodia’s largest lake and one of the biggest in Asia.

It’s a great chance to see how local Khmer communities live on the water. After that, visit Wat Bo, a lovely 18th-century pagoda that’s well-respected locally. Inside, you’ll find some beautiful wall paintings depicting the Ramayana (Reamker), believed to be from the late 19th century. Then, we’ll head to the local market.

Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant (own expense) before heading to the airport for your flight to Phnom Penh. Once you arrive in Phnom Penh, you’ll notice how the city keeps its traditional Khmer charm mixed with colonial influences.

You’ll see French villas and tree-lined boulevards, making for a charming city vibe.

Today, your first stop is the stunning Royal Palace complex, built in 1866 by the ancestors of King Norodom. Next door is the Silver Pagoda, home to many Buddha statues decorated with gold, diamonds, gemstones, and silver.

Afterward, visit the Independence Monument, a symbol of Cambodia’s independence, and then explore the National Museum. This beautiful Khmer-style building houses over 5,000 artifacts made from bronze, wood, gold, silver, copper, and sandstone.

Later, walk along the riverfront park where four rivers meet, including the mighty Mekong. To get some panoramic views, head up to Phnom Daun Penh hill, which also gives its name to the city and a nearby pagoda. In the afternoon, visit Tuol Sleng Prison, now known as the Genocide Museum.

It was once the secret heart of the Khmer Rouge regime’s atrocities, known as S-21, used for interrogations and executions. After reflecting on Cambodia’s difficult history, enjoy some free time for shopping at the busy Russian Market, soaking in the lively local scene.

Return to your hotel for the night.

Just what I needed
Alina Petrov,
Russian

I needed a break from work and this trip was perfect. Nature, temples, history - all in one. It was emotional, inspiring, and relaxing all at once. Cambodia is beautiful and full of soul. I’ll be back for sure.

Beautiful from start to end
Kim Dae-Hyun,
South Korea

Everything was smooth from day one. I liked that the hotels were comfy and near food spots. Each day brought something new, from ancient carvings to modern city life. And the Russian Market was fun for last-minute gifts.

Loved every minute
Myla Soriano,
NewZealand

Floating village was peaceful and different from anything I’ve seen. Wat Bo was cool too - the paintings there are amazing. It was nice having moments to explore on my own after the guided parts.

So much packed in
Jason,
Australia

Five days felt like two weeks (in a good way). So many awesome places in such a short time, but it never felt rushed. Flying between cities made it smooth. And Angkor Wat? Just wow.

Couldn’t ask for more
Marta Esposito,
Italy

I’ve done lots of short tours in Asia, but this one was my fave. It flowed so well and the guides were friendly without being too formal. Loved the food, the temples, the boat ride - all of it. Would 100% recommend.

Such a cool trip
Jackson Lee,
Canada

This tour covered so many sides of Cambodia - the ancient, the recent, the local. Apsara show was a highlight I didn’t expect to love that much. The 5 days Siem Reap - Phnom Penh tour was worth every dollar and minute.

Trip I’ll remember
Mai Linh,
Vietnam

Walking through Ta Prohm felt like I was in an adventure movie. Giant trees, ancient stones, and quiet jungle sounds. The temples were mind-blowing, but the way our guide told the stories made it all even better.

A balanced adventure
Andre M.,
Brazil

The tour had a great mix of must-see places and relaxed vibes. Our guide was super nice and explained everything in a fun way. Loved cruising around Tonle Sap and just soaking in the views. Cambodia surprised me in a good way.

Great intro to Cambodia
Nathan Cruz,
Philippines

This trip gave me a full mix of temples, local life, and history. I enjoyed the floating village and Bayon Temple, both so unique. The 5 days Siem Reap - Phnom Penh tour was well-organized, chill, and full of cool stories. I’d totally do something like this again.
