It’s purely a bus tour. I don’t even recall our guide introducing himself nor the bus driver lol. They picked us up from our hotel and we were dropped off at Aeon mall as per our request. The tour started and finished on time. S-21 is within the city but the killing fields is a bit far. The road near to the killing fields isnt paved 100% but overall the ride was still comfortable.

Booked on Klook with a peace of mind, knowing exactly what to expect, as the level of details given in Klook is one of the best. This is just for transport, a guide who gave some info on what to expect, what to do at each of the 2 places. They handed out iced bottle of water, and played a video on board.

This was a very humbling experience. As someone who didn’t learn much about Cambodia in school this was a very sad history lesson. They played an informative video on the bus and let us wander the exhibit without feeling rushed. worth it to pay extra for the audio guide

A very unforgettable moment. tourists need to try this heartfelt experience. the guide is good and the film showing inside the bus, but the bus needs to be repaired since the AC is not cold and dripping. but the over all experience is very good.

The bus was clean but a basic public bus. The guide very nice but he didn’t really guide. They played an audio on the bus. The S21 prison and Killing Fields are excellent and important to see to learn about real genocides as opposed to fake claims of genocide today. What happened here was truly horrendous. The audio guides were great and at the prison we met two survivors and bought their books. This trip is a must for anyone visiting Cambodia and if you hadn’t planned on visiting you should do just to see this.

This was an excellent way to see these emotionally intense sites. The pick up and drop off were seamless even in the pouring rain. The DVD info was the right amount of introduction to each sight. The time given for us to explore was just right. We used the audio tours for each sight. We were very pleased with this choice as it is not our normal “go to”. The driver was a safe driver. The tour manager was exceptional.

While it is just a transfer from Hotel to Point A to Point B then back to the hotel, it’s the perfect way to get around. All you need to do is hire a guide from the Museum for $5 USD (our guide was someone who survived the genocide). And for the killing field, everyone uses an audio guide since the entire place is divided into stations and you will need the audio guide anyways to understand the significance/context of each station. The bus provides free water and they give you enough time at each place. Highly recommend especially for the killing field which is a bit out of the city Center.

A truly educational and impressive tour to understand the history of Khmer Rouge - how it gained popularity and came to power - and we were so glad to pay a visit to the museums to commemorate the civilians who lost their lives in the genocide.

A pickup and drop off service to the S21 Genocide Museum and the nearest killing field of Pol Pot’s gruesome regime. This is an important historical places, although very gloomy, for Cambodians. We should always learn from history, and these places are a must visit if you would want to learn from it. Entrance fees and audio guides are not yet included in the payment for the tour.

very good although actually its not a tour but only transportation to both killing field and s21! but 1 important things is you can go by group and easily share the cost of tour guide in s21! although in killing field you can only use radio guide!

Insider Tips:

  • Audio guides in 14 languages are available for rent at both sites. If your mother tongue language is not English, we recommend renting the audio guide (English, Français, Deutsch, Nederlands, Italiano, Español, Pусский, Svenska, 中文, แบบไทย, 한국인, 日本語, Melayu, Tiếng, Việt)
  • Audio guide at Prison S21: Audio guide is $5 at Prison S21. Please take the 50 minutes highlight version (in red numbers on the prison map), not the long version. Please start the tour straight away, and watch the time. When you finish listening the audio at one number, please move to next number, If you stay at one number for too long, you might have not enough time to finish the audio tour. Please do not take the long version which is about 1 hour 45minutes. This half day tour is not designed to have the long audio tour. If you are keen to study the history of Khmer Rouge and want to spend more time at the museum, pleae take your own private tour. - In house live guide service at Prison S21: live guide speaking English is also available for hire, small group will charge $5/person, large group $3/person. Live guide service is recommend for people speak English. Please tell the tour assistant if you need to hire live guide.
  • NO live guide service at Killing Fields.
