Must do tour in Phnom Phen - Mr. Baboon was so knowledgeable about the history of Cambodia and especially the time under the Khmer Rouge. He acknowledged that this was not an easy tour and yet so important for people to learn about this period. Mr. Tea navigated safely through all the traffic and kept us hydrated with cold water. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Phnom Penh.

An experience I will never forget. - It was a moving experience to visit The Killing Fields and S21 Genocide Museum. I cannot speak more highly of our guide Baboon and Mr Tea our driver. They were so kind, welcoming and knowledgeable. It is an honour to have met them and the survivors and all those affected by this terrible genocide. I hope that by educating people and experiencing these places, that this will never happen again.

A somber tour but worth doing - It’s difficult to say this is a happy thing to do as it definitely is not, however to understand this dark period in Cambodian history you should not look away. The guide & operator were good and knowledgeable, you get time to reflect when you visit the 2 sites, I’d recommend you do this tour.

Informative tour at a good pace - Really recommend this tour to help educate yourself on this sensitive part of Cambodian history. In the span of an afternoon, Cheath guided us through the sites as well as explaining historical background, while also leaving an appropriate amount of time to explore and contemplate on our own. I especially appreciated Cheath's insights and the smooth organisation of the tour.

A ‘must-do’ for your visit to Cambodia. - Very impressive tour. Hotel pick up was right on time. The lively in-depth explanations by our capable guide Sum CHEATH really added to the experience. I would recommend the sequence in this tour: Killing fields first and then the prison.

A must - Killing fields & S21 - We felt that this trip was necessary after spending the previous week in Vietnam. This way you get to not only hear but see both sides. The killing fields is a trip that everyone should go on. This is history. The museum S21 is a must however we had a guide, Sumit. He was super knowledgeable. I think I would have preferred the headphones as you can then take your time. This is not to be rushed. There are survivors throughout the tour the families along with the survivor selling their book, we bought one at the killing fields, however there were 3 further survivors at S21. I hope this helps make your mind up. Oh and always wear long sleeve top and long trousers, it’s respectful, and if you don’t they don’t let you in.

Well organised trip with excellent tour guide - Whilst the subject matter of the trip was obviously important cultural history of Cambodia with a sombre feel we enjoyed the trip Our tour guide Sum Cheath was well informed and presented information well and organised the morning well by imparting important information verbally but also by allowing adequate time at certain points of the day to use the visual impact of photography and information boards to gather information yourself The trip was well organised and a good way to visit the killing field and prison museum with no hassle We were collected from and dropped back to our hotel and all in all it represented good value and would recommend
