Good excursion - A hard but much needed visit. Good explanations and transfers by car with water and AC that is greatly appreciated. Guide walks you inside the museum so you don't need audio guide

Well planned tour and well informed guide - Mr Huot and his team are great - the guide Ms Chan was very knowledgeable and a lovely lady. The killing fields are very confronting, but Chan did an amazing job explaining what was happening and helping us understand. Mr Huot is an amazing driver. We use him and his company for years already driving the project team from Aus and NZ all over the country

Cancelled due to lack of participants - The tour was cancelled unilaterally the night before the scheduled date. Even though there were not enough participants, it was too late and it messed up our plans. I wish they had contacted us earlier. I recommend that you check carefully whether the tour will be held before applying.
