Hard to say this is a 5 star experience as the obvious horror and suffering is so powerful and still relatively fresh. That said it’s a must do. The audio tour is a must too to get some interesting background and extra insights. Without it the visual trip alone might be lacking. Not a lot more to say other than prepare to be moved…..
Great educational tour by Cheath

It is a must see whilst in Phom Penh to be aware of the history that is still affecting a lot of the population. Cheath was our tour guide for this. His communication in advance was great, he gave us information during transpiration and also at various points during the tour. It is worth doing a tour with a guide to get a greater understanding of the Khmer Rouge. I would recommend this guided tour to others.
Great tour and guide

Mr Cheath was our guide. He gave good communication the night before and arrived promptly on the day. As expected the tour is harrowing but Mr Cheath gave us good understanding of Cambodia's dark history with a good mix of explaining and giving us time to explore ourselves.
A fantastic, great-value tour with a passionate and knowledgeable guide!

Our group had Cheath as a tour guide. From the moment we got onto the bus he began to teach us about Cambodian history. He was very promp with communication and pick up times also. I really learned a lot today. It was a heavy day emotionally but something I would recommend that people do. Thank you Cheath for reaching me a lot of important things about Cambodia's history
An important experience

Cheath was a great guide to a truely dark and ‘graphic’ history. There are graphic pictures and details that can be hard to bear witness, be prepared and don’t take children.
It was a Harrowing tour but well worth it. Guide was fantastic and knowledgeable in the subject. Met survivors

It was a harrowing tour but well worth the visit. The guide was knowledgeable and knew his subject. A somber afternoon which included meeting a couple of survivors.
