Clear and neatly cared for - Silong is a very calm and serious tour guide, who explains the horror history understandably. He is attentive; he has provided extra cold water and showed us an extra piece of city along the water where it is nice to walk in the evening. Neatly cared for

Very Moving ... hard to imagine as it was all so recent !!! - Very emotional and moving tour. Ms. Chheang Sreyneang was very knowledgeable and was very thorough but understood the balance between too much information and observation

If you plan a visit to... - If you plan a visit to S21 and the Killing Fields - and want to know and understand everything about it don't hesitate and ask for Silong. This man can explain in clear understandable English everything about this period - and beyond! My daughter and I were very happy with you as a guide, thank you Silong!

Very sobering experience - Well-organized private tour. Our guide Mrs. Thavy was very knowledgeable and willing to explain all the tragic events. Highly recommend for all who visit Cambodia. It is a necessary part to understanding their history and culture.

- Visiting the Killing Fields and S21 prison has always been something I have wanted to do. Our guide Silong helped make the trip extremely informative and amazing. Visiting places so emotional and harrowing make it impossible to say I had an amazing time, but it is something I would recommend anyone to do regardless of if you’re planning to visit Phnom Penh, because it should be seen by as many people as possible. I cannot recommend our guide Silong enough, he gave information and insight into the Cambodian genocide and the places we visited that is priceless. Beyond that, he was super friendly and kind, and I hope I am able to see him again when I eventually return to Cambodia!

Sobering, but delivered with respect and compassion - The tour to the genocide museum and the killing fields was sobering, but something I am thankful we did not miss. Silong was such a great guide and teacher. His knowledge of Cambodian history and events leading up to and following the Pol Pot era was extensive. He answered all of our questions in perfect English. He was amazing…and the tour is a “must do” when in Phnom Penh.
