S21 and Killing Fields Tour with Khmer Lunch and Drink
Full description
This is a 6-hour experience from Phnom Penh, built around Tuk tuk and Choeung Ek. It is run by Mad Monkey Phnom Penh, 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.

Traveler Reviews
Great experience all day, only slight issue, we were asked to be at the meeting point for 7.30am but did actually leave till gone 9.30am
Really good in order to know all the story of Cambodia, specially the capital one. Including sharing the experience with other people makes it better. Plus the lunch offer. Totally recommend it!
Really informative day on this tour! Obviously it’s quite a heavy day so doing it with a group was really helpful. Definitely recommend doing it while in Phnom Penh!
Practical way to visit the museum and killing fields and meet some other travellers. Comes with a nice lunch afterwards. Not a lot of explanation by the guide.
Great excursion and delicious lunch
