Additional Information

Both blissful as revealing, this half day outing brings forward key elements of how varied, enthralling and culturally diverse Siem Reap actually is.

Thought provoking and informative tour - Suphreap was a very gracious guide for what was a serious experience due to the subject matter. Suphreap also escorted us round one of the city temples when we asked about it. Thank you so

Very educational museum - What a fascinating museum of the history and culture of Cambodia. We are so glad we did not miss this as this country is so amazing. We met the sweetest people and many we did meet shared their extraordinarily difficult lives during the atrocities of the civil war and genocide. It’s hard to imagine this happened during our lifetime. When the Power of Love overcomes the Love of Power….I pray one day that any and all who want to lead people abides by this

Excellent Information and explication of a true tragedy - I have always wanted to know more about the killing fields in Cambodia. I enjoy learning about history and what better way than to learn about it from a qualified tour guide born and raised here.

Very interesting and informative - We started our tour at the war museum. It was really good and informative. You learn a lot about the Khmer Rouge and what they did. It is a horrible story, but very interesting if you like history. The tanks, weapons, grenades and the helicopter was really cool to see in person. The killing fields was disappointing. The only thing to see are the monument with skulls, which is pretty dark and really reminds you how bad this war was to the Cambodian people. The Artisans Angkor was so cool. You really get to see how they make sculptures with stone, tree and other materials. Really worth a visit! Overall, I would recommend this trip to everyone who visit Siem Reap.

No worth undertaking this tour. - War museum very badly maintained, was more of a junk yard. The Artisians Angkor was useless. The killi g fields was just average.
