S21 & Killing Fields Guided Tour

Venture into Cambodia’s capital with your knowledgeable guide for a deeply moving journey through the country’s tragic history. Your first stop is Toul Sleng, also known as S21, a former high school that was transformed into a notorious prison during the Khmer Rouge regime. As you walk through the preserved buildings and rooms, your guide will explain how thousands of prisoners were detained, interrogated, and subjected to unimaginable suffering. Photographs, personal stories, and original cells help paint a powerful picture of life inside the prison. At the end of the visit, you may have the rare opportunity to meet some of the survivors who return daily to share their experiences and promote messages of peace, forgiveness, and remembrance, offering a deeply human connection to this dark chapter in history.

After time to quietly reflect in the calm gardens of Toul Sleng, the tour continues to one of Cambodia’s largest Killing Fields. Walking respectfully along the wooden boardwalks, your guide will provide further insight into the events of this harrowing period and the scale of loss endured by the Cambodian people. The peaceful surroundings contrast sharply with the tragic past, as you learn how these grounds were used and why they remain a place of remembrance today. This visit encourages thoughtful reflection, honoring the victims while gaining a deeper understanding of Cambodia’s resilience and its ongoing commitment to preserving history so that such atrocities are never forgotten.
