Very informative tour, at a good price - Very informative tour, at a good price. The guide's descriptions of the tragic events at the Killing Fields were very sad, but also clear and insightful. I could have maybe spent a little bit longer at each site, but overall the half-day tour felt like it was about the right length.

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

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.
