A good introduction - A good introduction to the local area with relevant history. Filled a full afternoon into the evening. We were intrigued before arriving in Battambang about the Bamboo Train and Bat Cave and both were a unique experience. Be prepared to be dusty. Have some spare cash for extra fees or unintended shopping. Mr Fie was our Tuk Tuk driver/guide who made our experience very special. He shared some personal experiences with us that were very emotional but he also gave us some joy (and a few local desserts to try)

Great guide and experience - This was my favourite activity during my time in Cambodia. Kim is a lovely person and a fantastic guide. The day began with a ride on the bamboo train. We continued through the countryside, stopping when there was something interesting to see. Kim explained the history of the country well and answered any questions. We crossed the suspended bridge on foot, and stopped for roadside food upon request. Kim provided a thoughtful and personal explanation of the killing caves and his family’s history. Finally, we were able to witness the bats exiting the cave for the evening. Kim and his brother David are genuine, fantastic people, and it was my pleasure to meet them both. Please don’t hesitate to book this tour!

Unforgettable Day in Battambang – Thank You Kim! - When I arrived in Battambang, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. The city felt rough, the heat was intense, and after the charm of Siem Reap, I was a bit hesitant.
Then I met Kim—kind, funny, and full of local knowledge—who offered me a private tuk tuk tour. It turned out to be one of the best decisions of my entire trip.
We spent four amazing hours exploring the countryside. Kim took me to Wat Banan, where we climbed 365 steps to an 11th-century temple with incredible views. We crossed a hanging bridge, visited a mushroom and chilli farm, tasted fresh lotus fruit, and even accidentally woke up a tree full of fruit bats!
Kim made sure every stop was authentic, relaxed, and filled with insight. He shared stories about the area, helped me connect with locals, and made me feel completely safe and welcome the entire time.
The sunset bat show was the perfect end to the day—and every single person we passed along the way smiled and waved, a reflection of just how respected and loved Kim is in his community.
If you’re heading to Battambang, do yourself a favour—book a tour with Kim. You won’t regret it.

Beautiful, interesting and educational - Beautiful, interesting and educational trip with the TukTuk through the Battambang countryside. In addition to the history of the necessary highlights, the Kim Tours guide has a lot of knowledge of nature and knows a ‘secret’ place where you can see an incredible number of bats flying by. Highly recommended.

Incredible and informative tour - Kim was such an amazing and knowledgeable guide on this fantastic tour. We were picked up from where we had lunch instead of our hostel which we were able to communicate with Kim just before pickup, which was really helpful.
We then started the tour briefly in the city before heading into the countryside, taking the bamboo train, going over the suspension bridge and stopping off to look at some local farms and chat to some friendly locals.
We then headed to the killing caves and the bat caves where Kim told us about the tragic history of his country. It was really moving, and we felt we gained a personal insight into Cambodia’s history. We saw the famous bat cave and then went a little further to see a second secret cave where we were the only people there.
Kim was such a great guide, spoke perfect English, and accommodated all our needs including providing ice cold water, insect repellent and even tiger balm for our bites.
Overall couldn’t recommend this tour enough!

Best guide ever! - Met Kim at the bus station and he was incredibly friendly. We only had around 3 hours in Battambang so he designed a short tour for us, visiting Chilli & Mushroom farms, a few landmarks and also a spot where 100+ fruit bats live. After this we went to the bat cave where he showed us 2 main viewpoints. He was a great guide and we all had a brilliant time!
