Best Experience in Siem Reep - Phare Circus is one of the most memorable experiences you can have in Cambodia. This is not a traditional circus with animals, but a high-energy mix of acrobatics, theater, live music, and comedy, all woven together through powerful storytelling. The performers are incredibly skilled, athletic, and expressive, and the show balances humor and emotion in a way that keeps you fully engaged from start to finish.
What truly sets Phare apart is its purpose. The circus was founded by artists who survived the Khmer Rouge era, and today it provides arts education and professional opportunities for young Cambodians. Knowing that your ticket directly supports this mission adds real depth to the experience.
The performances feel authentic, creative, and meaningful rather than touristy. Phare Circus is entertaining, inspiring, and deeply human — a must-see while visiting Cambodia.

Impressive acrobatics show - Phare Circus supports various worthy causes. The show itself is exciting, with the performers doing impressive stunts. They were amazingly acrobatic, injecting the show with energy and fun factor.
The included 2-way tuk tuk transfers were efficiently organised. My driver Sokkhen was punctual and friendly, and kept me updated on WhatsApp, making the experience even smoother.

Enjoy the Show - This is a great way to spend a night in Siam Reap. Not only was the circus amazing but our driver Sokkhen made the trip there and back so enjoyable. He narrated the area and notable sites and provided tidbits of information along the way. What a night!

Amazing show with great transport - Circus definitely worth seeing. Pick up in tuk tuk was great by Sokkhen. He went above and beyond, stopping at stalls for us to buy food

Excellent tuk tuk ride and circus - Sokhen went above and beyond. If I could give him 10 stars I would xx He picked us up at our hotel and took us to Phare Circus. On the way he pointed out various points of interest, showed us pictures of how Siem Reap looked years ago and stopped at a street vendor so that my husband could try some fried insects 🤢. He was there waiting for us after the circus..which was amazing…and drove us back to our hotel

A Cambodian Cirque du Soleil. - The driver Sokken, communicated early on pick time and was very punctual. He was very kind. He was waiting out in front for me after the show and even stopped so I could buy some fruit.
The show itself was fantastic. Very professional acrobats with a funny, theatrical flair. I highly recommend seeing this show
