About this activity

Gain profound insight into modern Cambodian history on an essential private half-day tour to the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S-21) and the Choeung Ek Genocidal Center (The Killing Fields). This confronting yet deeply educational experience provides an authentic space to reflect on the devastating impact and legacy of the Khmer Rouge regime.

Guided by an expert local host, you’ll first visit Tuol Sleng, a former secondary school converted into a high-security interrogation and detention facility during the late 1970s. Walk through preserved classrooms and photo galleries that honor the thousands who passed through its gates. Next, travel just outside Phnom Penh along the same historical route to Choeung Ek, a former orchard turned execution site. Today, it stands as a peaceful memorial surrounding a central Buddhist stupa housing exhumed relics. Conclude your tour with private air-conditioned transport and respectful storytelling tailored to your group's pace.
