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!

Fabulous tour with Kim - Fantastic afternoon tour with Kim. His English is very good and he took time to explain all sorts of things during the afternoon. Highlight was definitely the bamboo train - complete with the train from Phnom Penh to get out of the way of and also the goods train. The walk to the top of the mountain is fine, if a little steep in places and the bats do eventually come out of the bat cave after sunset. All in all a brilliant afternoon. Kim is a very very safe driver, he doesn’t like to go too fast- his priority is safety at all times. Highly recommended for a great trip during a stay in Battambang.

Kim is a great driver and guide - We didn't do the bamboo train but did the rest. Kim took great care of us, arranging a ride to the top. Gave good explanations.

A fun afternoon - It was a fun and instructive afternoon. Our guide Kim speaks good English and knows the history of Battambang and Cambodia well. Since we did not want to make the stop at the killing fields and 'made himself available to accompany us on some errands and showed us the surrounding countryside, we drank freshly cut coconut! Fun experience on the bamboo train and we saw thousands of bats leaving the cave after dark. I would recommend this experience and Kim as a great guide.

Excellent overview of Battambang - Between availability, adaptability, sympathy and experience, Kim is an engaging and attentive guide! As for the organization of its turn it will immerse you in the culture and history (lived) more than moving Battambang, in addition to discovering these wonderful landscapes of soothing companions and off the beaten track. These explanations and anecdotes along the way are super interesting! Thanks to him! ❤️ We recommend!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‐️

An Unforgettable Afternoon with a Great Guide - We spent an unforgettable afternoon with Kim seeing the countryside around Battambang and some of its most iconic sights (a million bats emerging from a cave at once is not to be missed). Kim has a local's intimate knowledge of his area and is endlessly patient answering questions. In addition, he is kind and generous. We asked him to drop us at a restaurant we'd chosen for dinner at the end of our tour. When we couldn't get in, he helped us choose another one we'd like and drove us there instead. Instead of spending one long day touring, we took a morning tour with Kim one day and the afternoon tour the next. Both were excellent. It's hard to imagine a better experience..
