The plan is simple. Each day has one clear purpose, so the trip flows well.

Day 1: Phnom Penh arrival and airport pickup

You land at Phnom Penh airport and meet your driver for Phnom Penh airport pickup. From there, you transfer to your chosen hotel in the city. Since this is a No Hotels package, you stay where you want, from a simple guesthouse to a high-end city stay.

If you arrive early enough and want a soft start, add an optional river cruise dinner in the evening. It is a nice first look at the city lights and the river mood.

Day 2: Phnom Penh Half Day Tour

You start the day with the Phnom Penh Half Day Tour. This half-day city visit brings together the royal side, the historic side, and the city landmarks that shape the capital.

• 1. Royal Palace

If you skip the cruise on Day 1, you may add the river cruise dinner after the tour today.

Day 3: Private road transfer from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap with sightseeing on the road

This is where the trip gets fun. The road from the capital to Siem Reap becomes part of the story. Your private transfer from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap is not a plain ride. It is a full road day with stops.

This Phnom Penh Siem Reap day uses a private taxi from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap with a door-to-hotel-door transfer style. It is also a strong fit for travelers who want a Phnom Penh to Siem Reap private transfer with more than just point-to-point service.

Departure from 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM from your hotel lobby.

Road stops include:

• 1. Spider Market in Skun
     A lively stop with local snacks and road culture.
  1. Lunch break
     A clean break in the middle of the drive.
  1. Sambor Prei Kuk
     Old pre-Angkor temple remains in a quiet setting.
  1. Ancient Bridge at Kampong Kdei
     A fine photo stop and a striking old stone bridge from the Angkor era.

This part of the trip is pure sightseeing on the road. It turns a transfer into a full day of real places.

Day 4: Choose your Angkor style

You can keep the pace calm or go for the early start. Both choices work. Pick the one that suits your body clock and travel mood.

Option 1: Angkor Wat sunset tour

This option suits guests who like a relaxed morning and a later temple visit. The Angkor Wat sunset tour is a strong fit for couples, families, photo lovers, and anyone who wants a softer pace. Late-day light can feel warmer and calmer, and many travelers like that.

Option 2: Private Angkor Wat sunrise tour

This option is for travelers who want the classic dawn scene. The private Angkor Wat sunrise tour starts early, but it gives you that first-light moment many guests dream about. If sunrise at Angkor Wat is high on your list, this is the pick.

Day 5: Kampong Phluk floating village tour and Siem Reap airport drop-off

Start the morning with a Kampong Phluk floating village tour, a calm and memorable last experience in this Phnom Penh Siem Reap tour 5 Days 4 Nights. This visit brings you out to Tonle Sap, where village life follows the rhythm of the water and tall stilt houses stand above the floodplain like watchtowers in the sun.

Your morning includes:

• 1. Hotel pickup in Siem Reap
  1. Travel to Kampong Phluk
  1. A Tonle Sap boat tour through the floating village area
  1. A small canoe ride into the flooded mangroves
  1. Time to see local homes, boats, daily life, and peaceful water views

This part of the Phnom Penh Siem Reap route gives the trip a softer finish. After city sights, road history, and temple visits, the floating village morning feels quiet and real. It adds one more side of Cambodia before you leave.

After the tour, continue with your airport drop-off service. Your trip ends with transfer to Siem Reap airport, also known as Siem Reap SAI, for your departure flight.
