 Cambodia Tour Package 009 - Exploring Angkor & Phnom Penh - 07 days This is a most requested tour package for Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. The optimum amount of time needed to explore these two destinations is 7 days. Actually, less than 7 days is not enough time to adequately tour both Siem Reap and Phnom Penh, and fewer days will cause the guests to be rushed. However, a 6-day Phnom Penh and Siem Reap tour package is popular for guests who do not wish to spend more than 3 days in Siem Reap.
