there, many of whom were tortured for information. Today it serves as a
museum and a reminder of darker days.

Moving and educational tour - Sun Cheath was a fantastic guide and leader on this very moving and educational tour. On the bus before we reached the fields, he gave us the history bhind it and even these stories were moving too. It's a tour not to be missed if you are in PP and highly recommended.

A great tour with a very knowledgeable guide Sum Cheath. - We really appreciated our tour this morning where we visited the killing fields and the genocide museum. Very emotional tour remembering all the Cmabodians who have lost their lives during the Pol Pot regime. Our guide spoke very good English, he was very knowledgeable and detailed about the history of his country and passionate about his own country. Highly recommend the tour.

Sobering & Impactful - This was an excellent and impactful tour that took us through the reality of the Khmer Rouge regime. While this was quite a heavy tour, our tour guide, Visal Sem, gave the tour the care and attention it deserved in order to convey the information & the history. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wishes to learn more Cambodia .

Moving experience - This was a powerful and moving experience. Be prepared for many emotions as you learn details from this dark time in history. Our guide, Moon, shared her and her family’s personal experiences with the genocide and helped us to better understand Cambodian society’s longing for peace. Very important tour for visiting Cambodia.

Could've been great. - Unfortunately I would say this was quite a superficial tour. The guide didn't go into much detail. My husband asked him a question at rhe start and he didn't respond he just carried on using his phone and said "yes". He didn't allow for any questions either, if I asked I felt like i was disturbing him
Also you should mention to bring extra cash for us to tip the survivors, alot of us had no spare change. For those considering an alternative, get a tuktuk on grab and pay extra for the audio.
