Guided Phnom Penh Heritage Tour

Equipped with a digital tablet and headphones provided, step back in time with Phnom Penh Heritage Tour to discover the city's superb heritage. While the journey offers a glimpse of the vibrant bustle of today, each of the 19 stops invites you to step back in time to discover 22 sites inherited from the time when Cambodia was placed under French protectorate. The video guide reveals the history of each place with films, vintage photos and historical anecdotes. It also offers the privilege of virtually entering certain buildings inaccessible to the public. The transformation of a fishing village into a capital, the first urbanization on a French model, the craze for Art Deco architecture, the organization of the social fabric, the royal family, the lifestyle of the elite at the beginning of the 20th century and the dark hours of the Khmer Rouge regime are all topics discussed during the Phnom Penh Heritage Tour.
