Full description
The peaceful stretch of green fields at Choeung Ek hide the horrors that occurred at the site in the 1970s. Located 17 kilometers from Phnom Penh, Choeung Ek was made famous in the movie called The Killing Fields. On this 4-hour guided tour you’ll visit the memorial built in memory of the more than 17,000 victims who were killed at Choeung Ek by the Khmer Rouge.

Excellent tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and told us about his own family's experience. He was so helpful and was eager to also share lots of historical sites arojdn Phnom Pehn on the jpurney and offered to bring us to other places after thr tour was over. A very interesting tour.

Our guide, Sing was very informative and engaging guide. Me and my family learnt plenty with him showing around the place. He also went above and beyond by giving extra tidbits from our questions. This tour is worth every penny from the transportation, tour and service from both guide and driver. I can’t recommend it any less!

The vehicle we were in was air conditioned and very comfortable, they offered us bottles of water throughout the day. Definitely book this tour when you are in Phnom Penh city
