Highlights

• Visit two separate locations to learn about Cambodia's tragic past.

• Commemorate the people who died unjustly.



Depart from your hotel and drive to the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek, located about 16 km south of Phnom Penh. Here, you will experience a very moving and confronting experience. The Killing Fields were the final resting place for over 17,000 men, women, children, and infants between 1975 and 1978. It is estimated the Khmer Rouge Regime took the lives of between 2 and 4 million Cambodians during their destructive and devastating time in control between 1975 and 1979.



Continue to Tuol Sleng Museum. In 1975, Tuol SvayPrey High School was taken over by Pol Pot’s security forces and turned into a prison known as Security Prison 21 (S-21). It rapidly became the largest center of detention and torture in the country. Prisoners were repeatedly tortured and coerced into naming family members and close associates, who were in turn arrested, brought to S21, tortured, and eventually killed. Spend time discovering the harrowing truths of the prison.



Finally, the tour ends, and you will be transferred back to your hotel.
