Battambang full day from Siem Reap with various excursions. - Great day trip from Siem Reap to Battambang. Excursion taken from GetYourGuide. Very comfortable private van journey ( Angkor focus travel ) with excellent driver (6 hours round trip ) through the company ( paddy fields ) , villages with special features, unique colors and flavors etc . Appreciate stops for sweet snacks and local lunch. Our super cute, knowledgeable guide Mr HANAOUN explained the terrible history of the Khmer Rouge and not just many local anecdotes. Fun experience on the bamboo train with hand shift to make the real train pass. Absolutely recommended.

Great day in Battambang - We were only in Cambodia for 2 days so we wanted to see as much as possible. Mr Han showed us a lot in the area of Battambang and we were able to try local food and fruit. The temples were beautiful, and aside from the highlighted landmarks we made a few more small stops along the way. If you want to get the most out of your day in Battambang you should do this tour!

Don't leave cambodia without doing this tour! - What an incredible tour, everything was very organised and laid back. A full day tour might seem daunting but it is very much worth it. Ask to have Mr Han, he is incredibly knowledgeable and very passionate about the history and cambodian culture. He shares his own personal stories from the communist pol pot period and offers insight as to what it was like to live during that dark period in Cambodian history. The tour takes you across the cambodian countryside, up mountains and temples. it truly was an amazing experience and well worth setting aside a day to do. Being a private tour you learn alot more about many aspects of cambodian culture and history that wouldn't learn in a big group. I cannot recommend this tour enough.

A Perfect Guide to See Battambang - Han was a phenomenal Guide for our holiday, he didn't just take us to tourist places but he made us discover the local culture taking us to families to see how various products were made. Always very kind and helpful also offered us The tasting of various foods always with great attention and friendliness. He told us the story of his country and its history which struck us deeply and left us speechless. A very attentive and professional person but also friendly and friendly. Our trip to Battambang would not have been so good without his Guide. Absolutely recommended!

Battambang was amazing!!! 😍 - Wow this tour is a must. It's very in depth but you're going to see a lot and experience a lot. I learned so much about Cambodian culture and a lot about the unfortunate events of the Khmer rouge. Mr. Hanoon was an amazing tour guide. Plus he's a survivor! I'm really thankful for his guidance throughout our tour. This was a crazy experience. I loved how much we got out of just one day. We seriously did so much in a single day. This was my favorite tour hands down. Also thanks for our driver, Nol! You both made such an unforgettable experience. :)
