-
9 miles away south of Phnom Penh. The infamous killing fields have a bloody history. Once an orchard and a
Chinese cemetery, the Khmer Rouge, lead by Pol Pot, turned the place into
what became known as the killing fields, where they executed around 2.000 prisoners. Over three years, they massacred and buried 2.5 million people. After remembering the dead, return to Phnom Penh to visit Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S21). Meaning hill of the poisonous trees, Pol Pot turned a once popular high school into a high security prison. 20,000 people were imprisoned there, many of whom were tortured for information. Today it serves as a museum and a reminder of darker days.

A sad but essential tour. - I think you must visit these sites to pay your respect to the victims and understand the tragedy of recent history of Cambodia. Our guide was very knowledgeable and personably connected to the events, as is every Cambodian family. Not a happy tour but in my view essential.

We have to be ambassadors to ensure their story is never forgotten - We were honoured to meet two survivors from this horrible event and it was unbelievable the level of inhuman cruelty that occurred

Half day tour, killing fields/S21 - It was an impressive experience, also to meet a survivor of the s21. Baboon was a friendly Guide, who talked enthusiastically about his country apart from the tour.

Red khmer - Great trip through the world of the red Khmer.
Very well organized tour with enough time to see the main points to visit
The Guide Visal was excellent in the explanations and comments with a very good English.
Both in the kiling fields and at the genocide museum we are very well aware of the atrocities committed in this regine Khmer.
They also gave enough water during the tour.
I recommend everyone.

A must do tour with an excellent guide - Visal was our Guide for this tour.
This is one tour where the guide is front and centre,
A knowledgeable guide is a must.
Visal provided excellent commentary and very considered but balanced insights into the still Raw recent history of Cambodia.
He stated the facts in relevant parts and gave us plenty of time to look at the 2 destinations in detail to consider and reflect.
It was great to meet 4 survivors and to have the opportunity to buy their books.
A must do tour, very sobering and made all the more worthwhile having a skilled guide

Never lose your memory - The death camp remains slightly outside the city. Isolated. This is what Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge army, or the army of death, wanted. Isolate and close the new society to the outside world. Highly Recommended l Audio Guide x $3
