Great trip - not to be missed. - Mr Leap was a great tour guide, he made sure we were looked after well and gave us great tips during the tour. I loved that they made this tour more custom to our interests. Really enjoyed the bamboo train and watching the bats come out of the cave. The van was great with AC and Mr Pheap was an excellent driver and felt safe the entire trip. I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone.

Must do tour - We had an amazing tour with Mr. Leap as our guide and Mr. Pheap as our driver. 5 STAR service all day and made sure we had a great time. Mr. Leap is very knowledgeable about all things Cambodia. This tour will take you to some lesser visited places in Cambodia and it is so worth it. I only wish I had brought a travel pillow because Mr. Pheap’s driving was so smooth, I fell asleep!

More than temples! - Mr Sara and Mr Art were the consummate hosts for this day as tour guide and driver. They exceeded my expectations to make this an unforgettable day. They adjusted the day's itinerary based on my interests, and I never felt rushed. Mr Art is an excellent driver, and Mr Sara is very personable and informative as a guide.

Wonderful Experiences - We started early in the morning with the pickup and then go to Battambang, so it was very nice. The tour guide helped with taking a lot of cool pictures of us in some good places. He explained a lot about the history and life of people. He is very knowledgeable, so we could ask a lot of questions too! Overall a very nice way to see the highlights of the Battambang for a good price! I would definitely recommend this tour!
