Great Tour - We had a great tour. Our driver and tour guide were early to the hotel and met us immediately in the lobby. The tour guide was informative and helpful. Our biggest problem was the heat and having an air conditioned car with several bottles of water on hand was our savior. Going to the Genocide museum and Killing Fields is not necessarily a happy place but it’s still a mandatory destination when in Phnom Penh. We weren’t used to this kind of heat coming from the northern U.S. so I had picked this tour just because it was only scheduled for 4-5 hours and in actuality we were back early at our own request. My wife could only take so much of the brutality of the sites. Having been to Auschwitz this will leave you with a similar sense of sadness that humans could be so cruel to one another.
