Best tour guide ever - Samol - Definelty recommend! Our tour guide, Samol, knew better english than me and it’s my only language! I learnt all about Cambodian history, culture, politics and learnt so much about Buddhism. The views were beautiful and there were a lot of activities for literally just £15

Just amazing and authentic experience - That was an amazing experience ! We visited lots of beautiful sightseeings around and in the city.
We started with Banan temples which were stunning, then we saw lots of things inside the city and then moved to the Bamboo train, also very unique experience. We then had lunch, very authentic, local and cheap food with very good fruit shakes. In the afternoon, we learnt lots of things about fruits and plants and tried some rats meat. Then we finally went to the caves. First stop to the killing caves (Khmer history) and then the view from the top of the hill and finally watched the stunning show of millions of bats moving from the cave to the city and countryside. We saw lots of beautiful and different things during the day, with an amazing guide, called Samol, speaking really good english and giving lots of interresting information about history/biology/politics in Cambodia. I would recommend 100% this tour and this amazing guide! Just thank you very much for all.

An amazing day! - My sister and I went on the tour with Samol today, we had an amazing time! I especially liked how informative Samol was, we were with two other English people and samol’s English was perfect!. My sister got to try some rat at the end of the tour and I really enjoyed the bamboo train. Over all it was a really fun day travelling around by Tuk Tuk and learning about not just Battambang but about the whole of Cambodia. Thank you Samol!

An Amazing Experience - Such an amazing experience! With Mr Small but spicy (Samol) as our guide and his beloved TukTuk Wendy we were taken on a whirlwind of a journey. Throughout the tour Samol made sure we were properly refreshed, informed and of course laughing (always taking the opportunity to crack a joke and have a laugh with us). I definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun whilst informative tour around the beautiful city of Battambang!! Thank you for everything Samol!! We wish you all the best with all your future endeavours!

This is a must do tour! :)) - We completed the Half day Battambang tuk tuk tour with Samol. Which was an absolutely worth while experience. Samol was an energetic mate who was always cracking a good joke, whilst also being super informative about everything we saw or wanted to know. He took us on a jam packed itinerary that never disappointed, full of a diverse range of experiences and things to see. I highly recommend you take this tour if you looking for a way to explore Battambang. Thanks Samol :))
