Best experience ever in Battambang. - A beautiful two-day tour around Battambang and its countryside with Kim and his brother David. They took excellent care of us, sharing local stories and legends, as well as explaining a lot about the history and culture of this beautiful country. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in visiting and learning more about Cambodia. During the tour, we explored the city of Battambang, its French and Italian architecture, the markets, the countryside, fruit and rice farms, mushroom farms, and the Killing Cave and Field. Kim also showed us a secret place where we could admire the bats getting outside their cave at the sunset. David guided us through nearby villages, where we met locals and learned about their traditional activities, such as producing rice wine, bamboo sticky rice, dried bananas, and handmade mats. The experience was incredible, filled with beautiful and emotional moments. We feel truly lucky and grateful to have been guided by these two amazing and talented men.

Best Experience of My Life! - My friend and I wanted to do a trip to Cambodia, but less tourist-y and more in touch with the local community and people. Kim's Tour is EXACTLY that. We experienced his Full Day Tour City from early morning till late at night seeing the bats in the dark. We took the Tuk-Tuk ride and that was the perfect combination for me and my friend as we managed to see it all, have an active trip, but not a hassle to transport back and forth to the different locations. Great actitivies, food, and scenery! An amazing experience I will remember for the rest of my life and one of the main reasons for going back to Cambodia. Kim, YOU LEGEND, keep doing what you do!

great tour - We enjoyed an amazing day with our tour guide Kim who knew many stories about Battambang's daily life and exceeded our expectations for a guided tour. In addition to the mentioned stops of the tour we stopped at local rice fields, mushroom farming, the killing caves with lots of history, and many view points. If you like to see the most possible of Battambang within one day while not being part of a big guided group this is an amazing tour for you.

Day trip to Battambang - If you are looking for a guide to visit Battambang, you can go there with your eyes closed. Kim will immerse you in the Cambodian countryside and introduce you to the local way of life. It was also very interesting to be able to talk with him about his lifestyle and the history of Cambodia.

A perfect day in Battambang - Kim was the most fantastic host. Our day started by asking Kim to take us for a traditional breakfast with Cambodian people and blimey what a treat! We then went on a tour … suspended bridges, (quick stop for a proper coffee), bamboo train, lunch in a hammock, old temples, bit of local history, ducks, rice fields, buffalo, a stop at a local food seller for steamed corn and seasonal fruits that I’ve never seen before and then the bat cave … (and then Kim’s hidden bat cave where the other tourists don’t go). In short Kim totally over delivered. Kim made Battambang for us and we can’t recommend Kim high enough.
