Great day in Battambang! - I had a wonderful day with Jay and Mr. Hong in Battambang, who were both lovely, and Jay was an excellent guide. I wish I could have stayed longer in Battambang but I'm so glad I could at least do this tour for the day. Highly recommend!

Day trip to Battambang - Would definitely recommend this trip! Our driver and tour guide were both great. The trip on the bamboo train was fun and the bats were one of the highlights of my trip to Cambodia. Mr Jack our tour guide also took us to different houses in the village to see how banana chips, rice paper and rice wine were made. This was a nice extra and insight into life in Battambang. Mr Jack also taught us a lot about general life in Cambodia which was really interesting

Very enjoyable tour! - Did a Battambang day tour as well as a food tour with Lux and it was great! Lux was knowledgeable, friendly and extremely accommodating. For the food tour, he will bring you to eating places for locals and that’s exactly what I wanted in order to get an authentic Siem Reap experience. Will strongly recommend to anyone looking for a guide in Siem Reap and beyond!

Day trip to Battambang - Brilliant day trip to Battambang and the surrounding area with hotel pick up from Siem Reap. Driver Hong and guide Jacky we’re both great. Seen so much in one day including a ride on the bamboo train as seen on Travels with my Father with Jack Whitehall and his dad Michael, Battambang City, temple and the bat cave at sunset as well as many more sights. This is a very long day but it is well worth it. Jacky had loads of interesting stories and was able to answer any questions I had. It was a really interesting and enjoyable day. Well recommended!

Perfect add on to any trip - I couldn’t recommend this tour more. Lux and his team were great. This day tour was one of our highlights of our time in Siem Reap. We squeezed in so much in one day, tiring by the end but so worth it. The bamboo train and bats are a must. Everything from booking to meeting Lux was an easy process. If you have a spare day while in Siem Reap, I would definitely recommend booking this tour. Thank you for an amazing tour!

Nice add-on to a Siem Reap holiday - Good choice if you want to see Battambang without spending the night there. The drivers and guides all have good to great English skills. The number one reason to go is the bat caves at the end -- truly amazing. The tour also includes several nice opportunities for tasty local snacks -- like fresh spring rolls at the rice paper makers.

Viator too pricey - So overpriced if you book this on Viator - just sort it locally. If we had one locally we old have been over 100 dollars less

Be warned - this is a rip off! - We were very disappointed with this excursion which i had booked several weeks in advance, based on the reviews ACT had. It is quite an expensive tour, so I was expecting a high level of service. The driver picked us up from our hotel in Siem Reap ok, but the car was very old with worn and split seats. The seat belts didn't work properly and were badly frayed. Not safe and illegal in most countries. The guide's English was ok but not great which led to a few issues. He tried to take us on the standard tour but I had specifically agreed on booking what I wanted and didn't want to do, which was ignored. The journey back in the dark was frightening as the driver drove dangerously, taking many risks. We were relieved ti make it back to the hotel. I've raised my concerns with ACT direct but had no response, which is telling. This tour was a total con.
