A must visit. - We were very lucky to have Ran as our guide. He was able to bring his own personal experiences to deepen, what is already a very poignant history. The tour itself was very well organised, and we were in a small group with 6 others (who we didn't know before.)
As you might expect, the tour to the Genocide Museum was emotional, with a lot of photos of the prisoners. To hear their stories and stand in the cells they were kept in was very hard but they need to be remembered.
We saw the last 2 survivors of the prison, now aged 88 and 95.
We have no reservations recommending this tour to you.

The killing fields and Genocide museum - It was an eye opening experience to experience the Genocide Museum and the Killing Fields. Our guide was very very knowledgeable and gave us a very informative and tour. It was actually a class for me. I’m so glad I did this trip. I got some new insight. Sad history and glad I’m more educated on it now. This is a must do trip. The guide and driver are super helpful, a professional and friendly.

Very informative tour, at a good price - Very informative tour, at a good price. The guide's descriptions of the tragic events at the Killing Fields were very sad, but also clear and insightful. I could have maybe spent a little bit longer at each site, but overall the half-day tour felt like it was about the right length.
