34 reviews for The Killing field and Toul Sleng genocide museum S21 Tour
-
If you visit Cambodia, do not miss the killing fields or the Museum of Genocide. These places are the best way to understand what the country has gone through and to better respect its history. However, you must be prepared to be emotionally marked after these visits, it is a lesson in life, a lesson that teaches us that history should no longer be repeated.

Their guide is wonderful and in the end I was emotionally touched. I went on a tour that combines the museum with the killing fields, and I was deeply impressed, I didn't know there was such a museum; it was definitely worth a visit to Cambodia!
-
This museum is a necessity for those who visit Cambodia, it is worth stopping at this museum, and you will remain deeply impressed. The history of the Khmer Rouge years is of particular humanistic importance! Very emotional! Recommend!

Very interesting museum, I was impressed by these events, it was indeed a dark period of Cambodia, entrance fees were very affordable and all the services offered are of quality, this museum must be visited by anyone I left deeply changed from here.

Was an educational visit of Cambodian history and the Khmer Rouge regime, It is a must if you come to Phnom Penh. I was really impressed by the video that showed us interviews with the survivors, finally it was a necessary experience in my life. I would highly recommend this museum to everyone!

Even if visiting the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum is heartbreaking, it is still a must see attraction. Very well kept in its original state, the bleak conditions in which the victims were kept, a visit to S21 is a must to get a glimpse of what Cambodia suffered 35 years ago. I had a very knowledgeable guide who showed us 4 buildings. Highly recommend Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum!
-
An experience full of emotion, even for this museum it was worth visiting Cambodia, I will definitely tell my friends the experience I had here, there remains a place I will not be able to forget. Visit this place and you will be impressed!

The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum was a real history lesson for me; I have learned so many life events and amazing stories and even had the opportunity to see some survivors who wrote books about this terrible experience. I was really impressed, I recommend this experience!

I'm really impressed with what I found out here, what happened here seems like a gloomy nightmare but it was a grim reality, Visit this place, because this place was a hellish nightmare, and what happened here should never happen again!

This is a place you will never forget, even if you want to. There is also a good thing that comes from such a torturous place, this is the hope that people will never be so inhuman, Never! It is definitely worth a look if you are in Phnom Penh.

I really appreciate that the buildings have been left essentially as they were during that time. We followed the recommended route, which starts with the buildings to the left of the entrance, I was impressed by this tragic story, and I think this visit made me a better person. Is a place to see in life!

Our visit to the Tuol Sleng Museum will be forever remembered. This museum is unique in the world. Sad stories, but you have to visit it to add value to your visit to Phnom Penh. I came from America and I really do not regret it at all, I discovered stories that I never thought existed!
-
Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum is a place that was used by the famous Khmer Rouge regime from 1975-1979. Visiting the museum helped me find out what really happened in Cambodia two decades ago! If you ever come to Phnom Penh, you must visit the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. Totally worth it!
-
Cambodia is a very surprising country, I was really impressed by this museum, it is loaded with history and many emotional life stories, all the sites are very well maintained and the staff is very well trained and informed. I’m from LA but I would definitely return for the emotional load experienced here! I recommend you visit!

I met some very kind people here, they offered us water, we had access to air conditioning and were a very safe trip, and the documentary included on the drive was very educational, I have only words of praise about this whole experience!

Extremely interesting experience! At this museum I could learned a lot about the genocide in Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge, communist regime, our tour guide Mr. Koem was very kind and very well prepared, his English was very well. I highly recommend this museum, is an unforgettable experience!

The history is fascinating and emotional. I think everyone should see it! They have done a wonderful job of maintaining the site as close to the original site as possible. For me was a really challenging experience.

Rich in history palaces! The trip was great as could be when visiting and learning about such terrifying things that occurred. I am very grateful that I did not live in that period; you must visit these things to understand how lucky you are!
-
Was a very well organized and efficient tour! The audio guides were the best I've heard! I visited the S21 Prison and the Killing Fields, we had a video on the bus explaining the background to the rise of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. I recommend you visit this museum as soon as possible!
-
This museum is loaded with history; the museum was in the past a high school transformed into a torture center by the Khmer Rouge. Visiting this museum is essential to further understand the painful past of Cambodians. I took a English guide, who explained very well the history of this place. It is a place full of energy and emotions. It's worth visiting!
-
I was fortunate to meet a very knowledgeable guide who spoke English unexpectedly well, helpful staff, and affordable prices. this experience made me reflect on the evil that people can do to each other, I hope we learn some of that. RECOMMEND! FIVE STARS!
-
The S21 extermination camp is a very difficult place to visit because of the emotional impact. However, it is essential to visit to understand the horrors of genocide. It's very emotional but worth seeing at least once in your life!
-
I have found here the history of an extremely high pressure regime, and the bloody bitterness. I recommend that you seek the help of a guide to understand the history of the past and, finally, to witness the history. A very well maintained and well preserved place, worth visiting!
-
A museum of great historical value was a visit difficult to see but very necessary to understand what atrocities have happened in the past, it is very interesting that we can meet some of the survivors towards the end of the tour. I recommend visiting the museum!
-
I am very pleased that we have done these tours; they have been very well organized, I recommend a personal guide, we had an extraordinary one, I spent 5 days here with the whole family and it was a very good experience, I highly recommend The Killing field and S21 Tour!
-
Museum to do absolutely. Very difficult. It is imperative to take the guide because the story is told in a very sincere way.
-
Very sad, very dark. Worth the visit, if you have the stomach for it.
-
S-21 is a must-see!! If we don't learn from history, we're doomed to repeat it. I highly recommend one takes the time to visit this memorial and pay respect to these people who lost their lives through no fault of their own.
-
VERY INFORMATIVE! Even though what you will find here are some very sad events, they are worth knowing, they provided us a bus with air conditioning and they show a very informative video between the two stops. This visit is a must!
-
A very emotional experience! Visiting this museum is essential to understanding what huge mistakes have been made and which should not be repeated, we were lucky to have a very knowledgeable guide who explained us very well, many appreciation for Mr.Bou, professional English speaking Tour guide.
