This ended up being a private tour, as I was the only one who showed up. It’s pricey but worth it for the insights of my guide - Samat. His memories were fascinating but painful. Lovely man.
The whole Killing Fields & Genocide Museum experience is harrowing. It’s shocking to think it all happened so recently.
I would recommend this tour. It’s an important piece of history that should not be forgotten.

We had a wonderful guide in Siphat who took us around each site. His own personal experience was something I hope no one ever has to go through. He was a wonderful guide and is a generous person. Thank you Siphat

Very impressive tour. I really got to know the story behind the near history of Phnom Penh. The tour guide Siphat (who speaks English and Russian very clearly), told me all information with a personal touch. It might not be the cheapest way to explore the city and the Khmer Rouge history, but i would certainly recommend it.
