I did this tour on Feb 7. Mr. Siphat was friendly and knowledgeable. Took me to all the places on the schedule. He also shared his family’s stories affected by Khmer Rouge. We did go to the Killing Fields before going to S-21, but it didn’t matter to me. It was neat to see a couple of the survivors. I recommend this tour to all who love history.
A truly spectacular day

Our guide, Si, made this day spectacular. From the Royal Palace, through the Killing Fields, to the Genocide Museum/former prison/former school his vast knowledge and intriguing insights gave us a real understanding of these sites on present day Cambodia. My partner and I could not have had a better or richer experience thanks to his guidance. As important, Si was sensitive to our concerns and able to accommodate our needs as visitors to Phnom Penh. We are soooo grateful for his excellence and expertise along with his real capacity to make our cares his. Si made this a truly spectacular day.
Worthwhile

We highly recommend Mr Hong Kasy. He provided much needed context and is knowledgeable and pleasant tour guide. We appreciated his sharing the impact of the Khmer Rouge on his childhood. Tour sent email the day before confirming time of arrival for our tuktuk. Logistics went smoothly.

If visiting and paying respects to the thousands who died at S21 & Killing Fields this tour is a MUST. Personal, no conveyor belt groups, at own pace - my guide Siphak was exceptional and shared him own personal family tragedies at the hands of the Khmer Rouge. One of best solo trips ever done.
Daream was fantastic!

Daream was an excellent host. His knowledge from his own personal experience made the trip even more memorable. We learned lots about the history of Cambodia. Even though the visit was very sad, it was a sobering experience. Mr Pum the driver was excellent too.
