Couples day tour - Mr Lychee, was a great tour guide.
He explained the stops tonus thoroughly and did not rush us at all.
His driving was smooth and comfortable.
Just bring a peg for your nose when you're at the fish cheese market!

Great tour! - Mr Lychee was absolutely fantastic! We spent the day learning about Battambang as a city, going to the villages and trying all their delicious delicacies. Couldn’t recommend more to anyone staying in the area.

Excellent service & value-for-money - Mr. Polo, sent by Mr. Lychee, speaks good English and has extensive knowledge about Battambang, local culture, food, flora, and fauna. The tour on the whole, was eye-opening, value for money, and very enjoyable. Besides the tour, you get a good workout walking up and down the killing caves. Being history buffs, we should have asked Mr. Polo to accompany us up to the killing caves so that he could provide more detailed explanation. Overall, it was an excellent tour.

Great tour with a super driver - Lychee is an awesome guy: he speaks great English and knows the history of his country very well. He took us around the countryside and showed us the farms, the traditional products and how they've been handcrafted... Everything perfect, highly recommended!

Battambang day tour with Mr Lychee. - I had the pleasure of having Mr Lychee as my tour guide for the day whilst I was in Battambang. His knowledge of the area, history, culture, customs and traditions was extensive, and he is very easy to listen to and talk to. His English is excellent, and his smile is infectious. Do yourself a favour and make sure to look him up.

Amazing tour! - Mr Lychee was excellent. He was very kind and very knowledgeable. We had a great time, and we learned a lot. We loved the temple; it was quiet and peaceful with beautiful views of the countryside. We loved the fruit bats and the bamboo train. Mr Lychee spoke very good English and helped us to understand more about Cambodian culture. We also had free cold water whenever we needed it. Don't hesitate to book a tour with him! It was excellent. Thank you, Mr Lychee! 😊

Discover Battambang with Lychee: a tour to remember - We highly recommend Lychee for his tuk-tuk tour through Battambang. He showed us so many points of interest that we couldn't list them all.
Lychee speaks excellent English and has extensive knowledge of the region and its history. A very good guide.
One of the activities was the bamboo train. While the activity itself is a bit commercial (paying for a 20-minute round trip with a stop at local shops), in hindsight, it’s a unique and memorable experience, especially when you encounter other trains (there's only a single track).
