This half-day tour will collect you from your accommodation and proceed to Toul Sleng, the former high school that became known as Security Prison 21 under the Khmer Rouge regime, to discover more about this period of Cambodian history.
Later, you will travel a little out of the city to Choeung Ek, commonly referred to as the killing fields. This memorial marks the site of many mass executions by the Khmer Rouge and provides further insight into the country’s recent history. This tour is also available in the afternoon upon request.
We started off the morning at the prison where we received a detailed tour with our fantastic tour guide Nay. He provided a detailed step by step guide on the events and it was very informative. We then went on to the killing fields where it was quite emotional but our tour guide Nay was brilliant and made it a memorable experience .
Very informative. Our tour guide nay was phenomenal. He gave the Cambodian genocide tour the respect and dignity it deserves.
Nay was amazing, perfect tour guide
Very humbling experience and Mr. Ran gave a great tour; highly recommend booking the tour.
Mr Ran was a fantastic and informative guide. It was incredible to hear his experience and learn about the history. Highly recommend everyone to do this tour to understand Cambodia’s history.
Rarn was a fabulous tour guide who went above and beyond to give our group in depth and genuine information expanding our experience. Our visit to the killing fields would not have been as impactful without him.
Ran, our tour guide, was absolutely fantastic. He is very knowledgeable about Cambodia and its history and really made me feel connected to the culture. His guided tour around the prison was tough and emotional; he shared personal experiences, which really made us feel the horrors of what happened, however this made it very special for me. I highly recommend Ran. He was great, and I would love to have him as my guide again in the future. I wish him all the success in life :)
Mr. Nay was a very friendly and helpful guide and gave a very informative tour of the killing field and prison. All the information was clear and concise, I learned so much in just a few hours. Highly recommend!
Very knowledgeable tour guide, made the experience less dark and sad.
Nay was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and emotionally informative. You can tell how much the history means to him, highly recommend!
Nay did such a great job as our tour guide, explaining everything with care and respect. He explained everything so well and told us everything that was needed, I would definitely book with him again.
I took the tour to S-21 and the Killing Fields, and it was a very informative and emotional day. Our guide, Nay, did a great job of explaining the difficult history in a respectful and moving way. What I appreciated most was that Nay shared some personal stories about how his own family was affected. Meeting a prison survivor during the tour was also a rare and special opportunity. I am glad I got to learn more about Cambodia.
Our tour with Ran was incredibly insightful and he did an excellent job guiding us through this experience while enriching our group with a heavy history. I would highly recommend this tour, he was a very experienced guide with many stories and personal accounts to share. If you are visiting Cambodia this tour is a must
Thank you Ran! Excellent tour. I learned a lot.
An incredibly powerful and moving experience. It was a heavy day, but such an important one. Our guide Nay was so knowledgeable and shared the history with compassion and depth, making the experience even more meaningful. A truly necessary visit that I’ll never forget.
A heartbreaking story told by our brilliant tour guide Nay. Nay was fantastic at sharing the dark history of his country, I hung onto every single word. The length of the visit was perfect arriving early in the morning to avoid the heat and leaving midday. As devastating the story is, its an important tour to do, I 100% recommend.
The tour was incredible, the history of both the S21 prison and killing fields was shocking, but a must do if visiting Cambodia. Our tour guide Nay gave us a fantastic guide, giving us a clear and full understanding of everything that went down in these locations. I would highly recommend this tour!!
A very educational and important piece of Cambodian history with Chamreun our tour guide. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Phnom Penh.
Chamreun was an amazing guide for such an educational and insightful tour.
Ran was very knowledgable and when he was telling my group all the information you could see how emotional the stories are and how it still impacts the current population. Everybody should experience this as it’s such a huge part of Cambodia. The past survivor Chun Mey was also great to hear his story
My experience with our guide Nay was informative and moving. He was a great guide and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this for anyone interested in this recent part of history that is not spoken about nearly enough.
Nay really explained the complexities of this dark side of Cambodian history very well, this tour is definitely a must experience for any westerners capable of learning.
Great tour guide, he really told the horrific story well.
Very interesting and important tour. Our guide Ran was excellent and very knowledgeable, sharing his on families story put a lot into perspective. Essential for anyone visiting cambodia
Mr. Om Chamroeun enlightened us about his lived experience of the Cambodian genocide. As our guide for the day, he shared the history of Cambodians with the utmost precision and respect. He made our tour very engaging, personal and touching. Many thanks to Mr. Om Chamroeun.
The tour guide “ran” was a very good tour guide and very well educated it helped us understand the story beacuse he experienced these times himself. He was able to answer all questions and his English was very good. It isn’t easy to understand every country’s different version of English. He is also very funny which helps the group be more open with him.
Absolutely fantastic day out on the killing fields tour, guide painted the picture of what happened clearly and emotionally, brilliant
This was a highly emotional and moving experience. Ran was a fantastic tour guide who himself lived through the regime and worked in a labour camp. His ability to engage us and educate us was deeply moving and admirable. I would highly recommend this for anyone willing to learn more about this horrific part of a very recent history, that tends not to be spoken of as much as other events.
Was a very educational experience and our tour guide Ran was very good. His English was excellent and he was able to explain everything to us in great detail.
Ran was an incredible guide!!!
Ran was a fantastic tour guide, full of information and great at explaining many details. He has first hand experience and has many stories from other experiences of people involved at the time. I highly recommend Ran for this experience. Thank you Ran!
Ran was a fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable guide. This was a harrowing trip but I don’t think you should visit Cambodia without learning about the recent history.
Nay was an amazing tour guide very friendly, knowledgeable and passionate around a sensitive topic. Heavy day but would definitely recommend the trip and go with Nay if you can. The survivor book looks amazing as well.
Fantastic tour guide who provided a profound insight into the great tragedy experienced by Cambodians. Thank you
Ran took our tour today and it was an extremely powerful experience - he was very knowledgeable and shared his own personal experience with the topic which was extremely impactful. Would highly recommend this tour to everyone .
It was such an impactful experience going on the half day S21 and Killing Field Tour. Our guide, Ran, was wonderful, well-informed and engaging. This is such an important aspect of Cambodia and the world’s history and I recommend this tour to everyone.
Ran was a phenomenal guide! His storytelling was amazing and we all learned so much. Would love to have him on the next tour as well.
Nay was an exceptional guide - the best I’ve had in a long time. His retelling of the history is incredibly eye opening and engaging. You come away from this tour with so much more knowledge and awareness of the impact of the genocide. I really could not recommend this tour more.
Had great experience with Nay, went over the origins of the Khmer Rouge, the life of S-21 inmates and also the history about the killing field. It was very very educational and highly recommend for everyone who wants to learn about the history of Cambodia.
Nay was an amazing tour guide and explained the history very well.
5 out of 5 The killing tour was good great guide called nay
Great tour, Nay had some great information and highly recommend him!
I did this tour with a group of friends and would strongly recommend. Our guide was Ran and he was excellent, very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions, he also shared his own personal experiences. I found it to be very emotional but I believe it is important to learn about what happened here especially when visiting Cambodia.
Went with Ran. Incredibly sobering and heartbreaking. A sad story told very well. Highlights included many personal and relatable anecdotes from his own life as well as that of the places visited, and a helpful overview at the start to frame the day.
Eye opening experience, no words can really describe it. If you want to understand the events of the past then it is a must. Ran was amazing, thank you for your time send sharing his own personal stories with us.
Ran was an excellent guide. Very heavy content in the tour but definitely a can’t miss learning experience. His personal experiences from the Khmer Rouge regime were very moving.
We had a very interesting tour and learned a lot about cambodias tragic history. The tour guide Ran shared his personal experiences with us and answered all our questions about the imprisonments and killings.
Very educational and important tour. A must do when visiting to learn about the history of Cambodia and Ran did an amazing job explaining everything and giving us first hand knowledge that you just can’t get on your own. I would definitely recommend!
Ran took us on a guided tour of the killing fields and prison. It was very emotional and the detail from Ran was very introspective. I highly rated this experience
Learnt a lot. Wasn’t too hot, and lasted around 4 hours. Ran was really nice and helpful, especially with his experience there!
