    Although this is a very confronting and heavy experience, it’s important to know the history of the Khmer people and the horrific genocide they endured under the Pol Pot/Khmer Rouge Regime. Our guide Sun Cheat was very informative and respectful by allowing us to wonder at our own pace and have quiet moments of reflection. Would definitely recommend.

    5 star experience

    What a wonderful and heartbreaking experience how a country could endure such evil is beyond me. Our guide Baboon was extremely knowledgeable and provided us with lots of information, some of which I was unaware of. Thank you

    It’s a very moving experience. Three of the four remaining survivors were at S 21 and sell signed copies of their book. Well worth buying!!! Guide was great ..superb value for money

    No-Show.

    They pulled a "No-Show" and only called me afterwards to cancel the excursion when I tried to contact them directly.

    Response from Host, Dec 2024

    Dear John, Regarding this experience you encountered with our service! Actually, we did text you to say apologize to your WhatsApp as we missed picking you up unintentionally! It was not by our purpose to leave you behind! at 8:34am, you texted me to ask if the tour running late ! We responded to you suddenly by calling via WhatsApp to to say apologize and checked with you if you could move to the afternoon or not and if not we needed to refund for you for full price and you say that “ please refund “ and we agreed to do it for you even it was less than 24 hours ! We had no intention to leave you ! We had no intention to cancel your tour, anyway ! You should have ,at least, contributed in being well cooperated with us when we unintentionally missed picking you up by calling or texting at 8:15am to us ! We have put our contact number in your ticket as well ! You got full refunded from us ! We didn’t cancel your tour without paying for your price ! No one is perfect! When anyone accepts own fault, to be as human kind, we should forgive rather than keeping condemning !

    A Real Must - Know the recent history of Cambodia

    ANDREW_W, Oct 2024
    The knowledge (and English capacity) of our guide. He was clearly passionate about the history of his Cambodia and relayed his knowledge in understandable language. Both the “fields” and the Museum are really with a visit. Even better it was the most comfortable tour bus we have been on the trip!

    October 2024 tour

    Our tour guide, Visal, was extremely informative so we learnt a lot about the history of Cambodia. The tour is very dark and difficult at times however, it is important to learn about the history whilst in Cambodia. I would definitely recommend this tour if you want a knowledgeable and friendly guide.

    Simply amazing

    Sean_C, Jun 2024
    Sum was a really good guide he explained everything in the tour very well. Although it was not a happy tour he explained that also, well worth learning about the history of this amazing country. Definitely recommend.

    Good learning experience

    Debra_S, Jul 2023
    Good learning experience and well done.but also very emotional. Highly recommend this tour. Very sad genocide.

    Great tour with Mr Visal about the sad history of Cambodia

    Paola_T, May 2023
    The tour to the Killing Field and Genocide Museum (S21) was a very informative tour about the sad history of Cambodia. Our tour guide, Mr Visal, did a great job and gave us lots of useful information about the Killing Field and S21 prison already on the way there (about 20 minutes by minivan). Mr Visal is a very competent tour guide and has a deep knowledge of this sad topic. Our group was made of 8 people and Mr Visal always made sure that everybody was following him and waited for the people who were late. He always had an answer to all our questions. I would suggest booking this tour with a tour guide as it is much more personal than the audio guide. Thank you Mr Visal for the great tour, I feel very sad about the horrible things that happened in your Country and can imagine how difficult it must be for you to talk about them. But the world should be aware of the truth; my compassion goes to all innocent victims and especially to the few survivors of the Killing Fields.

    Informativ guide
