A reflective visit to the S21 Toul Sleng Genocidal Museum and Killing Fields with our guide Sreyneang (Neang). Travelling to the sites, Neang carefully explained the history of Cambodia, in particular the events leading to the Khmer Rouge takeover in 1975, their subsequent demise in 1979, and regrettably the 10 year civil war that followed. We soon realised, somewhat embarrassingly, that our knowledge of the politics and inhumane treatment of the Khmer (Cambodian) people during this harrowing period was severely lacking. Our walk through the S21 prison and killing fields was sombre as Neang further explained the extent of the cruelty and genocide during the Khmer Rouge rule. Neang also shared personal stories from her own family’s experience, for which we are extremely grateful. While it’s probably not the experience you want or expect to do whilst on holiday, it’s something that every foreign traveller to Cambodia should experience. Thank you Neang for educating and guiding us during our visit, we very much appreciate it.

I learned about the Cambodian Genocide both in school and as part of my degree however, the depth of knowledge from my guide (Ms. Sreyneang) was incredible. Not only did Neang inform me in detail about the genocide itself but the rise and fall of the Khmer Rouge. Further, she explained the current domestic political situation after the tour too. Throughout the tour, I was given time to look and experience both sites (The Killing Fields and Genocide Museum) but I was able to ask as many questions as I could. Neang shared family stories too which gave it a more personal and in depth look. I will always be thankful to Neang for operating this tour and imparting her knowledge to me.

The tour is a must do if you visit Phnom Penh. The visit to the Genocidal Museum and Killing Fields was confronting to say the least. Our Guide, Nin , (Ms Sreyneang) was informative, engaging and so knowledgeable on her country's history. She answered any questions with ease and offered great advice on how to make the most of our trip to Phnom Penh. I would highly recommend booking a tour with Nin.

Miss Chheang (Nin) was an excellent guide. Nin gave us a fascinating history of the terrible events that happened during the Pol Pot regime and lots of information about life and customs in Cambodia. Her English was excellent too. Thank you for a most interesting day.

We were guided by Ms Sreyneang around these two sites on a private tour for a family of four. Ms Sreyneang was an excellent guide, she was informative and provided us with the backstory and the horrific details behind this terrible part of human history. We would fully recommend her as a guide.

This tour enables you to explore and understand one of the most important periods in south-East Asian and world history. It is an extremely moving and, at times, harrowing experience, but one which everyone should have. Our guide is Ms Chheang Sreyneang was absolutely superb, and embellished the experience with the personal experiences of her family and friends. This added a very important human element to the things that we were seeing. Highly recommended, but not for the faint hearted.

It’s a deep history but a must visit in this city. Recommend everyone who visit the city to come - so that we can pass on the lessons of history. Tour guide Ms. Sreyneang is knowledgeable and willing to share, we learnt a lot from her and enjoyed the conversation. The tour is well organized for people with limited time.

Ms. Sreyneang was my tour guide. She arrived promptly at the hotel lobby and I found her to be a knowledgeable and experienced guide. Neang was easy to talk with and it was a wonderful way for me to speak with a working mom and compare our lives juggling work and family. She was thorough in educating me about the Khmer Rouge and its ideology, backstories about life after Pol Pot, the Killing Fields. This is my second time booking my trip to Cambodia through TripAdvisor and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to travel with no hassles and independent time between daily itineraries.

We did a tour with Mr Samnang and he was an excellent guide, very informative and paced the tour well. Both Mr Samnang and the driver were very polite and kind and all our questions were answered and gave us a good insight into life in Cambodia.

We booked a private tour and Neang was our guide. We were picked up from our hotel in a comfortable, clean and air conditioned car. The tour was very informative and educational. Neang spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable throughout and personable. The driver was very courteous and provided cold water during the tour. Communication prior was excellent through WhatsApp. I would highly recommend this tour and Neang in particular, she is an excellent guide.

Very informative trip with Long who was a fantastic guide to take us on this very poignant tour. In a very gentle balanced way he relayed the horrors of the KR era. Lots of facts and figures and sad stories. We had all our questions answered. A must do tour to understand modern Cambodia. Thx you Long!

Our tour guide Chantha was amazing and knowledgeable. He told us all information in details about Khmer Rough time. Especially he shared his family story under that regime.

Mrs Sreyneang was the perfect guide to show and explain the atrocities that occurred here. She speaks from personal experience as her parents and grandparents lived through the Khmer Rouge regime. She is very knowledgeable and speaks English very well. I would highly recommend this tour.

I took this tour with Ms. Sreyneang two weeks ago. She was fabulous! It was so informative. Her detailed description of the historical background that lead to the Killing Fields was excellent. I had a very clear understanding and it was all made more vivid with the addition of personal stories from her own family's experiences. This tour is a must and I would 100% recommend Ms. Sreyneang. Request her!

This was by far the most heartbreaking but knowledgeable tour I’ve done to date. I had some knowledge on the Pol pots era but not mass amounts. I left the tour feeling heartbroken but also well educated. Our tour guide Sam was incredible on his knowledge and also horrific first hand experiences. It’s a shame that we was never taught this in school, I’ve never felt so lucky to be born in England. Thank you for this incredible tour.
