Original bamboo train & amazing bat caves! - The tour was great - pickup was on time and the guide was easily contactable on whatsapp. Enjoyed the bamboo train ride as well - this is the original bamboo train (as there are two others in Battambang, which are shorter/more touristy). Total journey was about half hour probably where you pass by rice fields, lotus ponds, and random oxen and goats. This does still have a short stop in the middle where you’re slightly pressured by locals to buy souvenirs but it’s still ok, just say no if you don’t want anything. Made a short stop for rat bbq - honestly try it!! The bat caves were truly the highlight and videos really don’t do it justice. All in all big thanks to our guides for their energy and making sure we were comfortable the whole journey :)

Battambang trip - We had a really great trip today. We Got picked up in a tuktuk and our guide did some stops, where he told us a lot about Battambang. He knew a lot of history and was really good at explaining and answering any questions. The bamboo train was really fun and pretty scenery. We also really enjoyed the bat cave, really impressive. We would really recommend this tour, as you see a lot of Battambang and hear of its history and recent history of Cambodia. The tuktuk tour was great, really pretty rice fields on the way.

Don't book with another tour, you will not regret it - Amazing tour and amazing guide. He took us to many places, explained us the history of Cambodia, the bamboo train history, we visited the killings cave and the bat cave and even gave us a tour in the city. He was always responsive from the beginning till the end and he provided us with unlimited water and even bought us some snacks. I can't recommend enough this tour. It's a must when you are in Battambang and it really worth the money and the time. For the money I spent, it was more than enough for the service I got.
