Show full review ➤ A trip such as this needs the right guide and we had one in Neang. He managed to convey the history and horror of the conflict with such knowledge and empathy but without sanitising what was a horrific period in Cambodias history. It was a very thought provoking tour with stories that are hard to hear and graphic photos in the jail but a tour I would highly recommend especially with Neang. Hide review
