The Angkor National Museum makes far more sense of the temples if you go before you visit them rather than after. Phnom Penh holds the National Museum and the memorial sites; Siem Reap and Battambang have the war and landmine collections. Below: what each holds, opening hours, whether a guide or an audio tour is included, and ticket prices.
A sobering Phnom Penh tour linking the Killing Fields and Tuol Sleng (S21) prison, with hotel pickup and an English guide. Entry fees extra.
“This was a fascinating tour. Extremely painful and sad to learn about, but an important part of history that everyone should know about. Our guide Sum Cheath was excellent, and explained everything extremely well.”
A 4.25 hour Phnom Penh tour to Choeung Ek Killing Fields and Tuol Sleng S21, with an English guide, AC van, and water.
“Very thorough and informative Tuol Sleng tour. Knew a lot about Cambodian history, as did I. Every piece of info guide gave was spot on. This tour is well worth the money we all tipped not just the guide but also the guide's van driver. Remember to tip for professionalism folks!”

Private tuk-tuk half-day to Banteay Srei, Kbal Spean hike, and the Landmine Museum, with English driver and value for small groups.
“Great driving by Danith good communication allowed us to tweak the trip to call at a temple we passed on the way out would recommend again wholeheartedly. Best way to get about is by tuk tuk with a lovely breeze for an hr or so each way. Don’t miss the Landmine museum it has a lot to tell.”
