what became known as the killing fields, where they executed around 20.000 victim. Over three years they massacred and
buried 2.5 million people. After remembering the dead, return to Phnom Penh to visit Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S21). Meaning hill of the poisonous trees, Pol Pot turned a once popular
high school into a high security prison. 20,000 people were imprisoned
there, many of whom were tortured for information. Today it serves as a
museum and a reminder of darker days.

Understanding Cambodia's dark past - Such an informative and sad tour, but most importantly a must do to understand and show respect to this country's dark history. An unforgettable experience for us, with our guide Cheath to thank for that. His serenity and professionalism made it impossible to drift away from his stories and explainations. A very knowledgeable man with passion for what he does. 10/10 would recommend

Excellent and informative tour with Cheath Sum - Our guide Cheath Sum gave us a very comprehensive and in-depth history of the Killing Fields. He was very knowledgeable, passionate , patient in answering questions and attentive to details . I learnt so much about this dark period of Cambodia’s history . I liked that Cheath gave us information and then gave us free time to view things and process what we had just heard . I liked the pace of the tour , never felt rushed and yet Cheath saw to it that we never missed anything . When asked if this could happen again , Cheath struck a positive note , replying with a firm “no”, never in Cambodia . It is this hope that we carry after witnessing the worst of humanity . The tour supplied us with cold water which was welcome on a hot day. I would highly recommend this tour . We need to be exposed to such terrible events of human history, lest we forget.

A tour not to be missed in Phnom Penh!!! - We are immensely grateful that we found this tour and had Cheath as our guide. He is outstandingly knowledgeable and passionate to teach everyone what happened in Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge terror.
He explained everything in detail and was patient to answer all of our questions.
We feel very grateful that we were able to meet survivors in both of these locations, buy their books, and further educate ourselves on what happened here. These books are so well written, and one can get a real picture of all the atrocities imprisoned people were subjected to. Cheath was always making sure to explain everything in detail, make sure we were ok, gave us plenty of time to walk on our own, and read all the information provided.
We will highly recommend it to all of our friends and family.
"Historia est vitae magistra" and future generations need to learn what happened here!

Do not miss this tour - A really good tour which although harrowing explains the reasons behind the atrocities, I came away knowing that the path that the lovely people of Cambodia have chosen is the right one, our guide Baboon was really passionate about how Cambodia wants to help us understand the years of Pol Pot 🙏

Overall information well delivered - Guide (Baboon) provided information on the way to the Killing Fields about the history of Cambodia leading up to and during the Khmer Rouge.
Overall information was well delivered. Sometimes there was a lack of space at the S21 prison for the size of the group to get close enough to the guide and with other guides talking as well it made it difficult to hear.
We were given time to exploring part of both the Killing Fields and S21 by ourselves as well.
