Full description

This half-day tour helps you understand one of the darkest chapters of the 20th century. At the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, a former high school that became the S-21 prison, you walk through the classrooms and cells where thousands of people were held, with a local guide to give context.

You then travel about 15 km south to Choeung Ek, where an audio guide leads you around the quiet grounds of the former killing field and the memorial stupa. It is a sombre but deeply important visit, and many people say it is the most moving part of their time in Cambodia.
