Ho Chi Minh City: Phnom Penh Day Trip with Lunch With English-Speaking Guide and with Lunch

Discover Phnom Penh on a day trip from Ho Chi Minh City. Visit the Royal Palace, Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek, and enjoy a traditional Khmer lunch.
Begin your day before the city stirs. At 6:00 AM, as morning light spreads over Ho Chi Minh City, you board a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle headed not just across the border—but into Cambodia’s rich and complex history. With all logistics pre-arranged—transportation, border formalities, entrance fees, and meals—you can sit back and enjoy the changing scenery from bustling Vietnam to the calm Cambodian countryside.

By mid-morning, you arrive in Phnom Penh, warmly welcomed by your professional English-speaking guide. The day begins with a visit to the Royal Palace, where golden spires shine and stories of Cambodian royalty unfold through your guide’s engaging narrative.

Next, your journey takes a poignant turn at the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, once a school, then a prison under the Khmer Rouge. The silent halls and powerful exhibits offer a sobering reflection on Cambodia’s past and the resilience of its people.

Afterward, enjoy a traditional Khmer lunch, featuring dishes like amok and fresh spring rolls—flavors that bring comfort and cultural depth.

In the afternoon, visit the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek, a quiet, emotional site that honors those lost. Here, history becomes deeply personal and unforgettable.

By 4:00 PM, you begin the return journey to Vietnam. As the sun sets, you reflect on a day of powerful contrasts—royal beauty, tragic history, and enduring strength.

In just one day, you’ve saved time, money, and effort—while gaining a memory that lasts a lifetime.
