4.00This country has a sad past.. This tour lead by Reaksa & driver , was very good, nicely explained with questions answered.. It was better to do this tour, rather than going solo with audio headphones on site.
Heart breaking but a must do

5.00The content of this tour is confronting and heart breaking, but learning the history is important. I had Sum Cheath as a guide, and his knowledge of the regime and atrocities was extremely impressive. His presentation was excellent. Parts of the story of the Khmer Rouge and genocide feed into complex geopolitical history, which he navigated and explained extremely well. Highly recommend requesting him.

5.00Sum Cheath was an excellent tour guide. He very clearly shared Cambodia's devasting history under the Khmer Rouge and gave us enough time to explore both sites by ourselves too. Communication before the tour, pick up/drop off at hotel and cold water included was greatly appreciated. A deeply saddening experience but a very important tour. A must do when visiting Phnom Penh.
Excellent tour with excellent guide.
