While in Phnom Penh I was interested to see what the hotel we were staying at recommended that I do. Upon speaking with the front desk they handed me a couple of brochures. I have not done these excursions myself so I'm not sure what the quality of them is but if the hotel recommended them, I hope that they are worth while.
