Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum - Travelers will be picked up from their locations by a tour guide and driver to visit the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. This site was once a high school before the Khmer Rouge transformed it into a center for interrogation, torture, and death. Today, it stands as a museum of torture, reminding visitors of the horrific events that occurred in Cambodia. Approximately 17,000 individuals were imprisoned here, with only seven surviving. After spending about two hours at the museum, the tour will proceed to the Killing Fields, a 20-minute drive away, for a one-hour visit, before returning to Phnom Penh to drop off travelers at their original pickup points.

Choeung Ek Genocidal Center - Prisoners from Tuol Sleng were transported along this route to their grim fate. Once an old Chinese cemetery, Choeung Ek was converted into an extermination camp for political prisoners. The remains of 8,985 individuals were exhumed from mass graves and are preserved in a memorial stupa. Despite its tragic history, it is a serene place for reflection on the devastating events that affected Cambodia and its people.

The Genocide Museum, also known as S-21, was the central hub of an extensive prison network across the country. It operated as a clandestine facility for detaining, interrogating, torturing, and exterminating individuals labeled as “political enemies” of the regime. Due to a policy of guilt by association, entire families were sometimes detained at the center. During the years 1975 to 1979, very few prisoners were released. Only 12 former inmates survived when S-21 was liberated with the fall of Phnom Penh, four of whom were children.
The Killing Fields, active between 1975 and 1979 under the Khmer Rouge, were a site of the Cambodian genocide. Located approximately 17 kilometers (11 miles) south of the city center, it was linked to the Tuol Sleng detention center. After the fall of the Khmer Rouge, the remains of 8,895 victims were exhumed from the site. These individuals were typically executed with pickaxes to conserve bullets before being buried in mass graves.
