Half-Day to Tuol Sleng Museum and Killing Field
Full description
This is a 5-hour experience from Phnom Penh, built around Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and Choeung Ek. It is run by Asia Tours Desk, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
Tuol Sleng was a Phnom Penh secondary school that the Khmer Rouge turned into Security Prison 21 in 1975. Of the roughly 12,000 to 20,000 people held there, a dozen or so survived. The classrooms still have the iron bed frames and the photographs the regime took of every prisoner on arrival. Choeung Ek, about 15 kilometres out, is where most were taken to be killed, and its stupa holds some 5,000 skulls; the audio guide there is narrated in part by a survivor and is the reason most visitors manage it at all. Both are done quietly, take about half a day together, and are not suitable for young children.
The price covers Hotel pick up & drop off, driver, Water & Snacks and English tour guide. It does not cover Entrance Fee, Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and Killing Fields entrance fee, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Es un tuk tuk bien negociado. Suficiente, porque para los memoriales puedes usar la audio guía
This tour about is absolutely a must when visiting Cambodia, It dives deep into the recent Genocide that this country unfortunately had to endure. My guide Kosal was very educated about the topic and had amazing english. He explained everything you needed to know and answered any questions asked. The Tuk Tuk driver is also very nice and the ride is great, they also give you water! If you’re ready to learn about the grim history that this country had to go through then I absolutely recommend this tour.
