Best tour guide in Battambang! - What a wonderful day with Kim! He was so informative and patient throughout the whole day. We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide! He was flexible in creating a day that was suited toward what we wanted to see and you could tell he was a man of the people. He would stop into people's homes and show us what it's like living as a local in Battambang! The bamboo train was lots of fun and the bat cave and killing cave were incredible as well. Do yourself a favor and give this man your business. You won't regret it!

The most amazing day! - I had the most exciting day in Battambang thanks to Mr. Kim as a guide! He speaks really good English and he’s an excellent tour guide: with him I spent the whole day getting to know about the history of his country and his city, the local culture and costumes, as well as the most stunning naturalistic views! He’s very passionate about his job, he loves his city very much and he shares all of this with you! 100% recommended, I would definitely book him again if given the chance!!

Wonderful Mr Kim! - Kim is a lovely man and a brilliant tour guide. We initially booked him for a one day tour, but about an hour into the day we were so happy we booked him again for the next day too! Kim speaks excellent English, is very knowledgeable, has a great sense of humour, and flexible to meet your specific needs. We had a truly wonderful time with him and recommend most highly!

Battambang story - Character who has adapted to the personality of each participant. The whole route was true to the description. Telling the story of his country as he lived in his flesh is a real plus and also a very understandable English for foreigners like me. I recommend to anyone who will pass in the area to choose this excursion.

Superbly guided tour in Tuk Tuk. - Kim, was the most informative guide we had in Cambodia. We were a group of 10 and he arranged 3 Tuk-Tuks for a 9 hour tour of the Bamboo railway, temple at Banan and Bat cave + the secret bat sunset. Terrific tour and highly recommend.

Best thing you'll do in Battambang! - We met Mr Kim as soon as we arrived in Battambang. He described a possible tour we could do which included a few of the things we were planning to do anyway, but his description of the countryside bit of the tour was what sold it to us and we were not disappointed. We had the most fabulous tour with him going though beautiful countryside that we would not otherwise have seen. We enjoyed the Bamboo railway and were very pleased to avoid the crowds to watch the bats from the secret cave. We thoroughly recommend Mr Kim. If you have a day or two to spend in and around around Battambang, get in touch with him for one of his tours. It's guaranteed to be a highlight of your visit.

The best tour of Battambang - If you want to discover all that Battambang has to offer, Kim is the guide for you! From well-known activities such as the bamboo train or the killing caves to the country roads, Kim gives you a very complete tour that will allow you to discover all the richness of this city full of history. Very accommodating and with a great sense of humor you will necessarily have a good day in his company! I recommend!
