A must do! - Samol was amazing. He told me about the history of Cambodja and I learned so much I didn't know. The tour was very impressive and I especially liked the bat cave. A must do if you're in Battambang. The killing caves is a very sensitive topic and left quite an impression but I think it's good to learn about the history of a country when you visit it. Highly recommended!

Great experience in Battambang! 🫶🇰🇭 - This is an outstanding tour! Samol was a phenomenal tour guide for this trip. He is a gem in his wealth of information. He has a wonderful talent of explaining the history of Cambodia as you travel from one destination to the next. I would recommend this tour to anybody visiting Battambang—having a guide to visit both the Bamboo Train, the Bat Caves, and a few other local stops emphasizing Cambodian culture sprinkled in between, makes the experience so much more meaningful as visitors can learn a wealth of knowledge about the history and cultural relevance of each. With this knowledge there is more understanding, empathy, and respect that is gained through the experience! I am so grateful for Samol and for the exceptional day I had with him as my guide! He is very knowledgeable, funny, articulate, and fun! He makes the journey comfortable with his cooler of waters available to guests and he even has speakers available for playing music! He makes the day wonderful! This is a tour that is an absolute must while visiting in Battambang! 🇰🇭🙏🫶

Amazing Tour in Battambang! - The tour was absolutely amazing! 10/10! Samol was punctual with his great TukTuk Wendy, friendly and spoke fluent English. He had a deep knowledge of Cambodia's history and the sites we visited. The whole time it felt like traveling with a good friend. He patiently answered all questions and took plenty of time for us. The food at the local restaurant was delicious. The tour was definitely my highlight in Cambodia. Samol was very committed to providing a terrific service. I had a lot of fun and I highly recommend this tour! Thank you very much!

The perfect guide for those visiting Battambang - Samol was the ultimate guide. He provided an impressive understanding of his country’s history and of the attractions he took us to, which included the bamboo train, killing caves, bat cave, and a whole lot of interesting places & stories in-between. We enjoyed his company so much that we also booked him for a second fantastic day. He took us to different places to explain the making of rice noodles; rice paper (where we tried delicious fried and fresh rice paper rolls); bamboo sticky rice (yum); and rice wine. He also took us to some special temples. He always took his time to explain things to us and was also so much fun. He looked after us very well & we would highly recommend him. We are also now experts at pronouncing Battambang!

Small but spicy tuk tuk tour. - Amazing tour, English is extremely good and the information on sites is clear and informative (apart from a couple of jokes). The lunch was lovely and at a local place, the tour gave a real introduction into proper local life whilst ticking off all the tourist items.

Unforgettable - I spent the day with Samol and Wendy, his tuktuk and it was an amazing day! All the activities offered were full of stories. Samol knows his country very well and manages to convey its history to us in very, very good English. With this full-day experience, I was able to immerse myself in the local culture by meeting the locals, sharing artisanal knowledge around rice (noodles, pancakes, bamboo sticky rice and rice wine) but also with the various visits to temples and historical sites. I recommend this tour 10000%, you will not regret this choice! Thanks again to Samol who knew how to make this excursion unforgettable and passed on his knowledge to me!

What a way to explore Battambang - I decided to get this tour based on the positive reviews it has, and my man Samol delivered. He told me the history and current situation not only from Battambang but for the whole Cambodia as well, kept me entertained the whole 7 h of the tour, telling me folktales and legends, teaching me about plants; fruits, crops, food, recipes, cracking jokes. I was lucky to be the only one that booked the tour that day, he answered every single question that I had and added more. I had such a bang doing this tour, we did everything listed on the description, so go ahead and don't think twice, book this tour today!
