I took the tour to S-21 and the Killing Fields, and it was a very informative and emotional day. Our guide, Nay, did a great job of explaining the difficult history in a respectful and moving way. What I appreciated most was that Nay shared some personal stories about how his own family was affected. Meeting a prison survivor during the tour was also a rare and special opportunity. I am glad I got to learn more about Cambodia.
Our tour with Ran was incredibly insightful and he did an excellent job guiding us through this experience while enriching our group with a heavy history. I would highly recommend this tour, he was a very experienced guide with many stories and personal accounts to share. If you are visiting Cambodia this tour is a must
Thank you Ran! Excellent tour. I learned a lot.
An incredibly powerful and moving experience. It was a heavy day, but such an important one. Our guide Nay was so knowledgeable and shared the history with compassion and depth, making the experience even more meaningful. A truly necessary visit that I’ll never forget.
A heartbreaking story told by our brilliant tour guide Nay. Nay was fantastic at sharing the dark history of his country, I hung onto every single word. The length of the visit was perfect arriving early in the morning to avoid the heat and leaving midday. As devastating the story is, its an important tour to do, I 100% recommend.
The tour was incredible, the history of both the S21 prison and killing fields was shocking, but a must do if visiting Cambodia. Our tour guide Nay gave us a fantastic guide, giving us a clear and full understanding of everything that went down in these locations. I would highly recommend this tour!!
A very educational and important piece of Cambodian history with Chamreun our tour guide. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Phnom Penh.
Chamreun was an amazing guide for such an educational and insightful tour.
Ran was very knowledgable and when he was telling my group all the information you could see how emotional the stories are and how it still impacts the current population. Everybody should experience this as it’s such a huge part of Cambodia. The past survivor Chun Mey was also great to hear his story
My experience with our guide Nay was informative and moving. He was a great guide and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this for anyone interested in this recent part of history that is not spoken about nearly enough.
