Solo visit to Killing Fields and S-21

5.00Sun Cheath was an excellent guide for my visit to the Killing Fields. We had a small group and were given a guided tour around both the Killing Fields and S-21 museum by Mr Cheath, as well as time to explore both at our own pace. He was knowledgeable and spoke very good English. The whole experience is a deeply somber one but is definitely something I would recommend if you are in Phnom Penh.
Wonderful experience!

5.00Sum Cheath was an amazing guide! We learned so much about the history of Cambodia on this tour. I’d highly recommend taking a guide as you’ll get to hear first hand about the atrocities and ask questions. Thanks again, Sum!
Very informative

5.00Very informative tour. Some heavy and hard information to listen to, but important to learn history.
An absolute eye-opener - must-do in Phnom Penh

5.00I must admit I wasn't sure I was that familiar with the history of Cambodia. The atrocities committed during a time not that long ago and the resilience of a country trying to heal. This is not going to be a cheerful tour, it was incredibly difficult to see, but it is important for us to learn it. Our guide, Cheath, has been amazing. His passion clearly shone through.
100% would recommend this tour

5.00It’s a must go in Phnom Penh. It made me think and learn a lot. The tour guide Sum CHEATH was very informative. It could have been difficult to learn so much without a guide.
Sobering & Informative

5.00A must visit for anyone interested in Kampuchea's (quite recent) history. Mr. Sun Cheath was an excellent guide, and he included details - personal and answered questions - you would not get with the audio tour at the Genocide Museum or Killing Fields. We were promptly picked up and returned to our respective hotels with restaurant recommendations. It's hard stuff, but it's important.
Recommend tour
