Amazing day in Battambang countryside ! - I had really an amazing day tour in Battambang and its countryside ! Samol is a really interesting guy who loves his city and its history as well as Cambodian culture and local traditions. We learnt a lot with him and we had a really good time enjoying the roads, sightseeings and landscapes on the “Wendy” tuktuk ! Dégustations of local meals at the farmers families were also delicious… I really have no reserves, I would definitely recommend anybody to take part in this day trip :))

Good attentive Guide and knows a lot about the city - Local Guide Sam is very funny and explains many legends about Battabang city. The tour starts at 12 and I end late waiting for the bats to leave the cave. Very rich and cheap lunch. I recommend to see all the essentials in Battabang

Samol the King - We spent a magnifics day with the best guide in Cambodia. Samol knows the English language perfectly and explains the story in great detail. He knows non-touristy places where you can eat beautifully and, very importantly, he is extremely nice and kind.
