These huge stupas can be seen from miles away and contain the remains of several Khmer kings including King Monivong (1927-1941) and King Ang Duong (1845-1859). The walk up the hill over 500 steps provides an excellent exercise especially the view countryside view. These hills were also the site of some of the Khmer Rouge’s most prolonged resistance against the Vietnamese army in 1979 and a memorial to those murdered by the Khmer Rouge was built on this place.

Not to be missed - This was the best tour we had outside of PP. The tour guide and driver were fantastic, took great care of us and were very knowledgeable. As it was just my sister and I, the guide was able to answer a lot of questions, and helped us meet one of the nuns, who was so sweet and excited to meet us as we her. The guide also helped me try the sugar cane drink and gave us a fun tour of the local market and its local specialties. Oudon was simply amazing to explore and something not to be missed. Phnom Baset was also amazing as the construction is new and ongoing and shows great examples of what Ankor Wat's construction would have been like when new. Overall everything went smoothly and we had such a great time. I would highly recommend.

Brilliant. If you want to dive deeper into Cambodia and have someone guide you, do this. - Really would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to dig a little deeper into Cambodia. Having done the more obvious Killing Fields tour and seen some of the other sites of Phnom Penh, this was a great opportunity to get out and see the former capital and a little more of Cambodian life.
As well as observing the towns and villages between locations, you’re also visiting sites that’s are important to and visited by local people, these are not overt tourist attractions so the experience feels very authentic.
The driver was excellent, the guide just brilliant. To some extent you will always get out what you put in so ask questions. I learned a huge amount about Cambodia, its people, history and religion. Frankly, one of the best tour guides I’ve had on any tour (and there have been many).
There is a market, it’s something else with the smells and sights of cooking. You do not have to eat a tarantula. You can. I didn’t.

Interesting tour - This was an active and interesting tour, and we saw some really neat sights. It was a little tiring but it was a hot day and we done a lot of steep stairs.
Really enjoyed seeing so much of the countryside in between temples and mountains.

Expensive your for what we got to see. - The tour guide Mr Tokk and driver were both very friendly and we could not fault them. The driver picked us up and dropped back to our hotel safely. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions about Cambodia, its history and culture.
We Visited a silversmith house, and learnt how they made these beautiful pieces, enjoyed this.
We visited the places as advertised in the tour, but a lot of the temples and areas were damaged and it didn’t feel like the areas were maintained at all. Some temples weren't that old and were unfinished. Was a bit disappointed of this tour, especially with the price of this tour.

Don’t book this tour - The tour was just not good and unfortunately not worth the money.
We saw some beautiful places but the guide had no knowledge about it.
Totally not recommending booking this tour
