You will walk slowly and investigate the materials used for interrogation of prisoners. After that we travel about 15km toward southwest of Phnom Penh we will arrive at Choeung Ek. The memorial at Choeung Ek just outside Phnom Penh was an orchard! And a Chinese cemetery prior to 1975. During the Khmer Rouge regime, it became one of the killing fields the site of the brutal executions of more than 17,000 individuals, most of whom first suffered through torture and deprivation in Toul Sleng Prison.

What To Expect
Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum
Tuol Sleng was a former high school that the Khmer Rouge turned into a centre for interrogation, torture and death. Today it is a museum of torture and serves to remind visitors of the terrible atrocities that came to pass in Cambodia. 17,000 people passed through the gates of this prison and only seven lived to tell the tale.
Choeung Ek Genocidal Center
Prisoners from Tuol Sleng followed this same route to their fate. An old Chinese cemetery, Choeng Ek was turned into an extermination camp for political prisoners. The remains of 8985 people were exhumed from mass graves and are kept in a memorial stupa here. Despite the horrors of the past, it is a peaceful place to go and a tranquil spot to reflect on the tragic events that engulfed Cambodia and its people.

5.00We were a couple with our 14 year old daughter. We took the half day tour with Silong to the S21 prison and Killing Fields. He was extremely knowledgeable and delivered the confronting information with care. Whilst it’s difficult to hear, it’s important to understand the history. Highly recommend.
Thought Provoking

5.00Very thought provoking tour. The whole history of this period of Cambodia is very sad. Our guide Chheang spoke excellent English Had great knowledge of the history not only this period but also of Phnom Penh. This was complemented by her own family experience which gave the whole trip a personal touch. We both found it upsetting but a necessary lesson for us both Thank You Ni

5.00We had an extremely informative tour with Ms Sreyneang. She had great English and was very well knowledgeable. She helped us make sense of the convoluted political past of Cambodia, and was able to provide her own experiences and stories from her own family as well. We came away with a thorough and complete picture of the atrocities of the Pol Pot regime, and better for it!
The best guide and grim experience

5.00We were picked up on time and the car was clean, tidy and comfortable. We were guided by Ms Chheang Sreyneang. She had fantastic English and on the way to the S21 gave us an in depth history of the country prior to phol phot take over, to help understand some of the “why’s”. She dealt with both the sites with respect to and sympathy for the victims. All our questions were answered and repeated when we had forgotten something! We both feel we have a far greater understanding of the period and could tell friends the why’s and wherefores. We cannot imagine a better guide. Chheang thank you so much 🙏
I had Ms. Chheang...

5.00I had Ms. Chheang Sreyneang as my guide today. She was incredibly knowledgeable with personal, family stories to add to the overall history of the sites. She told the history like a story and was able to answer any questions I had. The pacing of the tour was ideal. They were even able to pick me up from the airport and stow my luggage in the van. Highly recommend taking time from your vacation to learn more about an important time in recent history and to pay respects to the victims.
An excellent and knowledgeable guide for this essential tour

5.00Confronting but very interesting tour all visitors to Phnom Penh should experience. Mr Sok is an excellent choice for this tour, he has extensive knowledge of this period in Cambodia’s history and shares this clearly. Understandably other Cambodian people we have spoken to were reluctant to discuss these times. We felt it important to gain this insight and are very grateful to Mr Sok for providing this. We wish peace and good times for Cambodian people.
Highly recommend anyone...

5.00Highly recommend anyone visiting Phnom Penh to do this trip. It is very hard hitting but something important to learn about and understand. Our guide, Silong, was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us fascinating insight into the history of the genocide and killing fields. He also gave us great tips for the rest of our time in Cambodia.
