The tour was a sober expose of the sad recent history of Cambodia, and important for anyone who wants to understand a little of the country's past. The tour guide, Sony, was excellent - knowledgeable, friendly and considerate.

James D, Aug 2016

There were times before buying this when I questioned whether it was worth the extra money to have a dedicated guide rather than using the audio guides available at both locations but the personal context our guide had been affected by the events that shaped these two locations and the depth of knowledge as well as the insights on how Cambodia has transformed since were invaluable. In short, well worth paying more to have someone to speak with when exploring these fascinating but tragic locations.

Vanessa S, Jun 2016

Shocking, emotional, disturbing however very worth while to learn of the sad and barbaric history of this amazing country. Our guide and drive were excellent, so much information shared. An excellent tour that still has us talking about it and following the local news closely as Mr Duch is still under going prosecution.
