Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Following hotel pickup by your professional private driver and guide, transfer to the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S-21). Formerly a secondary school, this site was converted during the Khmer Rouge regime into a high-security interrogation and detention center. Walk through preserved classrooms, cell blocks, and memorial photo galleries as your guide provides historical context on the thousands detained here and shares stories of the few known survivors. Gain deep insight into Cambodia’s past before continuing your journey.

   1 h

2. Travel just outside Phnom Penh to the Choeung Ek Genocidal Center (The Killing Fields), the final destination for thousands of prisoners transported from S-21 during the Khmer Rouge era. Guided by your private host, walk through the serene memorial grounds surrounded by mass graves and pay tribute at the central Buddhist Stupa housing exhumed relics. Learn about the profound resilience of the Cambodian people and reflect on the tragic events that shaped modern history before taking a comfortable, private air-conditioned transfer back to your hotel.

About Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh is Cambodia's riverside capital, where a gilded royal palace, French-era boulevards and markets sit beside memorials to the Khmer Rouge years.

The Royal Palace, with its tall pointed spires, and the neighbouring Silver Pagoda, whose floor is laid with silver tiles, stand close to the riverfront promenade where the Mekong and Tonlé Sap meet. Wat Phnom, a small hill temple, gave the city its name, and the National Museum, in a red Khmer-style building, holds a major collection of Angkorian sculpture. Art Deco Central Market and the busy Russian Market are good places to wander.
