Reisroute
Je gids haalt je op bij je hotel en brengt je naar de moordvelden van het Choeung Ek Genocidecentrum – 15 kilometer verderop ten zuiden van Phnom Penh. De beruchte Killing Fields hebben een bloedige geschiedenis. Ooit was het een boomgaard en een Chinese begraafplaats, maar de Khmer Rogue, onder leiding van Pol Pot, veranderde de plek in wat bekend werd als de moordvelden, waar ze ongeveer 20.000 slachtoffers executeerden. In drie jaar tijd hebben ze 2,5 miljoen mensen afgeslacht en begraven. Nadat je de doden hebt herdacht, keer je terug naar Phnom Penh om het Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S21) te bezoeken. Pol Pot betekent 'heuvel van de giftige bomen' en veranderde een eens zo populaire middelbare school in een streng beveiligde gevangenis. Daar werden 20.000 mensen gevangengezet, van wie velen werden gemarteld voor informatie. Tegenwoordig doet het dienst als museum en als herinnering aan donkere dagen. Uw gids brengt u terug naar uw hotel of pension.
De meest beruchte van de 189 bekende ondervragingscentra in Cambodja was S-21, gehuisvest in een voormalige school en nu Tuol Sleng genoemd vanwege de heuvel waarop het staat. Tussen de 14.000 en 17.000 gevangenen werden daar vastgehouden en gemarteld, vaak in primitieve bakstenen cellen gebouwd in voormalige klaslokalen.

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
Excellent, informative and comprehensive tour guided by Ran. A deep and thorough dive into Cambodian history with focus on this terrible period .
Highly recommend this tour! Ran was friendly and knowledgeable, telling stories from his personal experience of his family being affected by the Pol Pot regime and growing up in Cambodia. Book this
Highly recommend requesting Ran as your tour guide! He lived the Khmer Rouge as a little boy and could tell us what things were like firsthand in Cambodia during the dark time. He was so knowledgeable and we are glad we hired him for the tour vs doing the museums on our own so that we could learn more. The driver, Huot, also picked up/ dropped off right at the door of our hotel and offered cold waters during the drive.
Amazing experience!!! My guide Ran was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable and brave for sharing his story with us. Highly recommend the tour as you get personalized stories and all the transport is planned. Love that they offer an afternoon time slot!!
We had a great 1/2 day tour with our guide, Ran. I knew very little about the Killing Fields and the Khmer Rouge regime. Ran not only shared his personal family story, but explained how this brutal period came about from beginning to end. Although it was a somber and sobering experience, we also learned how that time period shaped Cambodians into modern day life. Travel is as much about education as it is about having fun. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn about this era of Cambodian history.
The guide was really knowledgeable and used his own experience of the time to really hit home on such a tragic moment in history.
The private car transfer was smooth and reassuring — punctual, comfortable, and stress-free to navigate between sites. A small but genuinely appreciated touch: cold drinking water was provided throughout, which matters enormously under the Phnom Penh sun. That said, the allocated time at each site felt rushed. Choeung Ek and Tuol Sleng are not places you should hurry through — the weight of what happened there demands more than a glance. I strongly recommend renting the audio guide independently at your own expense, which is very affordable on-site, and negotiating with for a personal longer stay especially at S-21. The tour earns its five stars for logistics; the depth of the experience, you'll have to carve out yourself. Come prepared — emotionally as much as practically.
An excellent if sombre and moving morning with Ran. A knowledgeable and engaging guide, sadly with some lived experience to draw upon. His unflinching stories brought this horrific past into focus. Thoroughly recommended.
It was very moving (at times it was a bit much information) and hearing it from a survivor made it even more emotional. They collected us on time and returned us to our hotel. The van air-condition worked well even in the heatwave we had :) Would not recommend for young children. Doing with a guide like this was much better than just hiring an audioguide.
