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.

Our guide was excellent. Good communication, pick up on time but most if all prepared us for the tour and what harrowing things we would see. His knowledge was outstanding and gave us an understanding of the atrocities their people and country went through. Although it was extremely sad, it is a must when in Phnom Penh.

Was a really moving expirience. Our tour guide Mr Ohm was fantastic, and did a great job of explaining the history of the killing fields and s-21. He was a small child during the Khmer Rouge, and it was fascinating to hear about his experiences during the late 70's. Definitely a must do while in Phenom Penh. The pickup and drop off was super easy as well, and communication from the tour guide was great.

As others have said, a must do on your list. That said, it is confronting that this happened not that long ago and that there are still survivors. Our guide (Neang) was able to provide personal (family) insights that made the events that occurred even more impactful.
