Full description

This is an experience in Phnom Penh. It is run by Cambodia Taxi Driver, 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 Private tuk-tuk and experienced local driver, Hotel pick-up and drop-off and Chilled bottled water. It does not cover Entry fees for S-21 Prison, Entry fees for Killing Fields, Personal expenses and Tips for driver, 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.

Includes

  • Private tuk-tuk and experienced local driver
  • Hotel pick-up and drop-off
  • Chilled bottled water

Excludes

  • Entry fees for S-21 Prison ($5) with optional audio guide ($5)
  • Entry fees for Killing Fields ($3) with optional audio guide ($3)
  • Personal expenses
  • Tips for driver

Mi guía fue increíble. Muy amable en todo momento y siempre dispuesto a ayudarme y a ofrecerme información importante para que mi tour fuese muy integral. Disfruté tanto el tour que le pedí al día siguiente que me diese otro tour. Él supo explicarme muchas cosas de la historia de Camboya e incluso me dió recomendaciones de lugares para comer. Sin lugar a dudas, volvería a reservar sus servicios.
