Fantastic experience - We had a great day with Mr Lychee touring around Battambang. We were able to adjust the tour to suit our family. Mr Lychee was a good and considerate driver, knowledgeable, and friendly. He explained where we were going, and gave us some background information once we were there. We have no hesitation in recommending his tours.

Experience the real Cambodia - I had a wonderful day exploring Battambang with Sambol. From the start, he was genuine, knowledgeable, and full of passion and energy. The tour was perfectly planned — we visited local workshops and beautiful countryside. The bamboo train ride was great fun, and the Killing Caves were deeply moving. Sambol shared fascinating insights into Cambodia’s past and present, making every stop meaningful. His authenticity and enthusiasm made the day truly special — it felt like exploring Battambang with a local who loves and understands his country deeply. I can highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the real Cambodia.

Couples day tour - Mr Lychee, was a great tour guide.
He explained the stops tonus thoroughly and did not rush us at all.
His driving was smooth and comfortable.
Just bring a peg for your nose when you're at the fish cheese market!

Excellent service & value-for-money - Mr. Polo, sent by Mr. Lychee, speaks good English and has extensive knowledge about Battambang, local culture, food, flora, and fauna. The tour on the whole, was eye-opening, value for money, and very enjoyable. Besides the tour, you get a good workout walking up and down the killing caves. Being history buffs, we should have asked Mr. Polo to accompany us up to the killing caves so that he could provide more detailed explanation. Overall, it was an excellent tour.

Great tour with a super driver - Lychee is an awesome guy: he speaks great English and knows the history of his country very well. He took us around the countryside and showed us the farms, the traditional products and how they've been handcrafted... Everything perfect, highly recommended!

Battambang day tour with Mr Lychee. - I had the pleasure of having Mr Lychee as my tour guide for the day whilst I was in Battambang. His knowledge of the area, history, culture, customs and traditions was extensive, and he is very easy to listen to and talk to. His English is excellent, and his smile is infectious. Do yourself a favour and make sure to look him up.

Discover Battambang with Lychee: a tour to remember - We highly recommend Lychee for his tuk-tuk tour through Battambang. He showed us so many points of interest that we couldn't list them all.
Lychee speaks excellent English and has extensive knowledge of the region and its history. A very good guide.
One of the activities was the bamboo train. While the activity itself is a bit commercial (paying for a 20-minute round trip with a stop at local shops), in hindsight, it’s a unique and memorable experience, especially when you encounter other trains (there's only a single track).
