This could be quite an emotional experience but you have to take it as an historical period that the country has recovered from but will never forget. Our guide spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable about dates and events, I would recommend it as a very interesting tour.

Confronting Cambodia’s Darkest History
An experience that leaves you feeling sombre and deeply saddened, but also gives you a powerful insight into the scale and brutality of the Khmer Rouge genocide. Visiting both sites together makes the experience particularly meaningful: Tuol Sleng (S-21) provides a harrowing insight into the machinery of imprisonment, interrogation and torture (best visited first), while the Killing Fields at Choeung Ek shows the horrifying fate of many of those who passed through it. Together, they put the human cost of Cambodia's history into stark perspective.
Transport between the sites is easily arranged using Grab, making it straightforward to visit independently rather than as part of a tour. If you do go independently, I would strongly recommend hiring the audio guides. They are exceptionally clear, informative and easy to follow, with numbered stops corresponding to the locations around each site. Being able to pause and move at your own pace also gives you some space to take in what you are seeing. A guide, however, can offer a more personal perspective and provide additional historical context that you won't necessarily get from the audio guide.
Allow plenty of time rather than trying to rush through both locations. This isn't really an attraction to be ticked off a sightseeing list; it is an experience that benefits from being approached slowly and respectfully. Some of the material is understandably difficult to hear and see, and the atmosphere at both sites is very sombre.
Although August can be hot and humid, going early in the morning is worthwhile, both to avoid the worst of the heat and to experience the sites before they become busy. Take water, wear comfortable footwear and be prepared for the visit to be emotionally draining.
Perhaps the most important reason to visit is that the experience isn't simply about confronting Cambodia's darkest period. Seeing the evidence of what happened, while also seeing how Cambodia has rebuilt itself, provides a striking reminder of the resilience of people and the importance of remembering what happened. You leave feeling sombre, but also with a greater appreciation for Cambodia's present and its hopes for the future.

Not only was the tour wonderful, but his personal stories of the genocide made it compelling!
Truly humbled by the people's experience and their accepting nature in the pursuit for peace for their families moving forward x x x x

Killing Fields tour with Ran
Ran was awesome! He taught us so much about not only his personal experiences throughout the time but also a very detailed account of what happened generally. He had so much knowledge on dates, events and people and answered every question we had. I absolutely recommend doing the tour with him :)

Take a guide - amazing
Our guide was fantastic. The knowledge and lived stories he told us were priceless. Please book a tour with a guide and not using the audio guide - a real guide with personal stories made the trip. Thank you
