-
9 miles away south of Phnom Penh. The infamous killing fields have a bloody history. Once an orchard and a
Chinese cemetery, the Khmer Rouge, lead by Pol Pot, turned the place into
what became known as the killing fields, where they executed around 2.000 prisoners. 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.

Emphelsworthy tour with Mr. Cheath as guide - Excellent guide Mr. Sum Cheath. Already on the bus the participants are provided with detailed background information about the Killing Fields and about the prison. (ruthless) I can only recommend this well-organized tour with Mr. Cheath to every visitor of the city. Pick up directly from the hotel was also excellent.

Informative and moving experience - Very informative and moving experience. The guide answered all our questions and took us through the history of Cambodia, the lead up to the genocide and the liberation from it. It was about 4 hours in total but I could’ve stayed another 30mins or so to just sit and reflect on the whole experience.

Khmer Rouge Genocide Sites - Be prepared for uncomfortable sights and unpleasant commentary, but be sure to go. The guide was very knowledgeable, harsh and honest.

Highly interesting tour, amazing operator! - This is a great tour to learn about Cambodia's darker part of history. Mr. Baboon made the tour interesting and it was not hard to follow his stories about Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge.
The killing Fields and the S21 are a must see for everyone who visits Phnom Penh and we can highly recommend this tour operator.
At the end we were dropped at a local restaurant which also had been well chosen.
Additionally we would like to mention that we initially booked the wrong date. It was very easy getting in touch with the operator via WhatsApp, and they changed the date quickly and without any surcharge. Thanks again for the great customer service, the tour and everything around it. We really liked every minute of it!

Exciting - The tour was very exciting and impressive.
Our tour guide was Mr. Baboon, a very nice and funny man. He explained the story to us very well and understandably in English.

Unpleasant and harrowing - but a 'must see' - A good tour although obviously not a pleasant one. Price was reasonable, tour guide (an official Cambodia tourist dept tour guide) was very friendly, knowledgeable and spoke good English. The only thing I would say, having previously traveled to Krakow to visit Auschwitz, is that by comparison Tuol Sleng is tiny and the numbers involved much smaller, although of course that doesn't make them any less terrible.
But both sites are 'must-see' educational and spiritual experiences - and they both demonstrate how ridiculous and obscene the extreme pro-Palestinian supporters' use of the term "genocide" is when it is used offensively and out of context to describe Israel's actions in Gaza, post 7/10. This place - and Auschwitz - are where "genocide" took place.
Sites and stories which will probably stay in your consciousness forever.
