What To Expect
Choeung Ek Genocidal Center
Your tour guide will pick you up from your hotel and drive you to the killing fields of Choeung Ek Genocide Center – 9 miles away south of Phnom Penh. The infamous killing fields have a bloody history. Once an orchard and a Chinese cemetery, the Khmer Rogue, lead by Pol Pot, turned the place into what became known as the killing fields, where they executed around 20.000 victim. Over three years, they massacred and buried 2.5 million people. After remembering the dead, return to Phnom Penh to visit Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S21). Meaning hill of the poisonous trees, Pol Pot turned a once popular high school into a high security prison. 20,000 people were imprisoned there, many of whom were tortured for information. Today it serves as a museum and a reminder of darker days. Your guide will return you to your hotel or guesthouse.
Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum
The most notorious of the 189 known interrogation centers in Cambodia was S-21, housed in a former school and now called Tuol Sleng for the hill on which it stands. Between 14,000 and 17,000 prisoners were detained, tortured there, often in primitive brick cells built in former classrooms.

Unforgettable !!!

5.00I had a great tour with our guide Rand (not sure of the spelling). The picked me up on time and we were only 3 total in the van, I call that a VIP tour. Rand was very interesting to listen to since he lived through the whole Khmere Rouge era. I was wondering how come he remembered all those dates, well, he lived it. He took us to Killing Field and this was really important for me since I visited S-21 prison the previous day. It was so interesting that I went back to visit the prison again but this time I had the opportunity to ask question to my guide. I was there the day before but did the tour solo with the audio option. A very good day !!! Steve

5.00Very important visit that gave us deeper insight on the horrors of the Khmer Rouge regime. Very colorful descriptions in the audio guides that are available in many languages, even ours, Swedish. The place is pedagogical and flexible so you can stroll around in your own pace and order. We were 4 persons and choose to take a taxi from our hotel to the museum (S-21). and after that directly to Killing fields at Choeung Ek. Had lunch at a restaurant right across the entrance of Choeung Ek. Strongly recommended

5.00Mr Chamrouen is the best guide for your visit. Not only you get a very knowledgeable and good English speaker guide but also you get a first hand experience from a person who lived himself in that horrible time. In a place of sadness, Mr Chamrouen makes your visit the most amazing ever! Well recommended! Our group loved it.

5.00A visit here is very emotional. The audio guide in German is superbly done - and righteous for me to read again afterwards how Pol Pot came to power in the first place
Somber but well put together

4.00After initial issues with communication, not well explained pick up details and instruction, and having to end up walking to the pick up car, holding others up. Excellent eye opener on the atrocities of the Cambodian Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot regime, killing millions of their own people. A terrible period for humanity not so long ago. Expertly explained by our guide who lived the experience and have a heartfelt guidance to the time. Truly gives you perspective and appreciate others lived experiences. Thankyou
Excellent all around!
