Exploring Phnom Penh with our private guide was a fantastic way to soak in the city’s vibrant culture and history. We particularly loved visiting the Royal Palace; its stunning architecture left us in awe of Cambodia’s rich heritage. However, we did find the pace a bit rushed at times, especially during the trip to Koh Dach where we hoped to spend more time enjoying the serene atmosphere of the silk island.

Our group had an amazing time soaking in the vibrant culture of Phnom Penh while discovering the artistry on Koh Dach Silk Island. The private guided tour was well-organized, although we wished transportation between sites had been a bit smoother to maximize our time.
