Excellent communication with Vidal the your operator from he start, picked up on time, I was late and he waited. The tour is sad but so insightful, unbelievable how this went on not very long ago, the tour guide Miss Chesna was very knowledgeable and you could see the effect these effects had on her and the people of Cambodia, it’s a must visit and pay your respects.

Very good, informative and moving tour of the killing fields and S21 prison. The guide is very knowledgeable and takes you around the sites while also leaving some personal time to explore.
Heavy, but a necessary witness

This visit is not “enjoyable”; you come face to face with an inhumane, unspeakably brutal, and systematically executed atrocity inflicted on the Cambodian people. As children in Turkey, we used to hear on the radio about the Khmer Rouge regime and what happened, but I don’t think I ever imagined it as such a machine of terror and annihilation. What makes such a catastrophe possible is not only individuals, but also the doctrine and propaganda apparatus that devalues human life and treats “anything as acceptable for the cause.” Thank you to our guide, Mr. Baboon, for explaining this painful subject in a respectful and balanced way.
Worthwhile Excursion. Baboon Great Guide.

Baboon was our guide. He was excellent. Very knowledgeable. His personal perspectives, stories and thorough factual information added insight into the horrors of the Khmer Rouge occupation of Cambodia. The Killing Fields and the museum were disturbing and thought provoking. It is a must see if you visit Phnom Penh.
