Private tour is a must in Phnom Penh - This private tour in Phnom Penh is highly recommended. My tour guide Ms Sreyneang (Neang) was so detailed in terms of Khmer history including key dates. She has a very thorough understanding and she explains so well.

Emotional experience - Mr Sony is an excellent guide. He has a very good understanding of Cambodian political history and the struggles of the people. He has an extensive knowledge of and personal connection to the tragedies of the genocide. Highly recommend him to other visitors to Phnom Penh.

Excellent tour and guide. - This is an excellent tour. Our guide Ms Sreyneang was very knowledgeable. She shared considerable history about Cambodia and the circumstances of the museum and answered all of our questions with attention and detail. One of the best guides we have had on our trip. I highly recommend.

A warning for future generations - Another depressing chapter of human history and a lesson into what depths mankind can descend into with casual ease. Do we ever learn the lessons about the dangers of popularism and alleged charismatic leaders. Only through education and a free exchange can we hope to detect the signs and avoid. Grateful to my guide for accurately telling this horrific chapter.

A very sad & enlightened tour - Hi, Mr Silong was very punctual, friendly and informative on our half day tour of the Killing Fields. He did not pressure us into anything we did not want to do and we came away knowing more and wanting to know more on the history of the Killing Fields.

A must if you have the time - This is a must for anyone who has the opportunity to come to Phnom Penh. Mr Soks explanations & stories make the difference. The fact that you can ask all the questions that you want/need (even asking for the same explanation again & again), really help you to fully understand and grasp the enormity of what happened here and realise that history is repeating itself in the various different conflicts across the globe today. A challenging but very…..very worthwhile afternoon. Thank you 🤗

Very informative and worthwhile tour for anyone spending time in Cambodia - My husband and I recently had a really powerful and informative morning tour of the Killing Field & Genocide Museum with our guide Ms. Thavy. She was incredibly kind, punctual, professional, friendly and most of all, so open and willing to share her own personal experience with us. She taught us first hand quite a bit about this difficult and jarring period in Cambodian history. As we opted for a private tour we were able to spend a few quality hours visiting the sites together and were so moved when she opened up about her family's story. We will always remember our time spent in Cambodia learning more about such a dark time in their not so distant history. Thank you so much to Ms. Thavy for spending your time with us and for your admirable strength and resilience.
