Phnom Penh Cyclos Day Tour

Cyclos (pronounced see-cloe) are an integral part of the Phnom Penh landscape. These iconic vehicles, first introduced in 1936, remain one of the best and most economical ways to see the city. Cyclo drivers, however, are among the poorest of the urban poor in Cambodia and old men. The career of cyclo driving has existed for as long as anybody can remember in Cambodia. Cyclo drivers can enjoy their life and working style just by earning 3 meals daily from their job. Unfortunately, this job exists from day to day because of the increasing number of vehicles, people looking for their own transport or other public transport instead. 

This half day cyclos tour throughout Phnom Penh is an ideal for memories of old transportation in Cambodia which was popular during the French colonials and after Khmer Rouge regime as long as it provided more jobs and more income to the cyclo drivers.
