Memorable experience
Visiting this site is a memorable experience and a reminder of the atrocities the Cambodian people suffered and continue to suffer for 3 generations. Millions of people died at the hands of a terrible regime and only a short time ago, visiting this site honours these people and helps them to feel supported by the rest of the world.

Somber, but unforgettable tour, must-see
Wow, amazing tour of one of the worst human tragedies of my life. Our guide, Ron, was awesome. He was a survivor, a child laborer, and lost several family members during the reign of terror. SO knowledgeable and willing to share his story which really brought everything to life for us.

Learn from someone who was there. Amazing information.
Ran was an amazing guide. As someone who lived through it and was so affected by the atrocities he gave a full account and spared no detail. The trips are heavy so prepare for some shocking truths but it’s an education we all need. I can’t recommend Ran enough.

I found the tour was good and informative. I was a young girl in Canada when this was going on and I didn’t know of it in great detail until today.
I am very sad for the human lives that were not respected and taken in such a brutal fashion. I’m sorry for all that was lost!
