Day 1

place Day 1: Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Duration: 5 Days

Departure Time: 07:00

Visit the Killing Fields

It's an early start today as we pick you up from your accommodation at 7am (please note accommodation is not included the night before the tour but we can help to book this for you, please let us know in advance). We'll start your audio guide tour by paying respect to the dark history of the Cambodian Genocide. From 1976 to 1979, the Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia with their own form of ultra-Marxism, resulting in the deaths of millions and destruction of the country that can still be felt today. Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S-21), was once a high school and was converted into a detention and torture center during the Khmer Rouge regime. Tuol Sleng remains to remind and educate all people about this dark time in Cambodian history. We then continue to visit another killing field called Cheung EK. After a full day tour, you will end your trip at your guesthouse, and the rest of the afternoon is at your leisure. Overnight in Phnom Penh.

Note: An audio tour or audio guide provides a recorded spoken commentary, normally through a handheld device, to a visitor. This device will describe all the information and direct client where to go and what to see.
