Best Day - I had the best day! I started the morning with a private tour and Samol made sure to give me the best morning ever! We visited a Rice noodle factory, rice paper factory and a rice wine factory where I got to try them all! He then took me to a few gorgeous temples and Buddha’s and we visited the genocide pagoda. Samol made sure I got all the relevant information whilst keeping it fun and lighthearted aswell! The afternoon was just as fun as I was joined by another traveller where we did the Battambang statue and learnt about his story, the bamboo train (which is hilarious btw). Stopping for lunch at Samols favourite food stop where we ate delicious food! Before heading to the killing caves and the bat caves! Don’t forget to try the BBQ rat I was pleasantly surprised!!! Overall had the best day definitely worth doing Samol was a great tour guide and was so great to be around too Thankyou

The only tour to book in Battambang - Samol is a dude, loves to try his Aussie accent mate. Great English and is very proud of his city and country which shows. His talk of the history and then the terrible Pol Po period before going into the killing caves was excellent. It was only me so he wouldn't have made much money so i tipped decent in my appreciation for the individual tour. Could not rage him higher.

A great way to spend the morning - I had to book this tour with Samol after doing a half-day tour with him the prior day. A whole different vibe, I could explore the process a different rice based foods, rice noodles, rice paper, rice wine, and sticky rice bamboo (which I loved). While doing it you're also supporting local families. We visited a few temples as well and Samol explained to me different symbolisms and stories of Buddhism. It was a great way to spend the morning

Great day with Samol in Battambang! - We had a great day with Samol. He welcomed us as a friend and showed us his city of Battambang and the surrounding area. He enjoys his job so much, you can tell and you benefit from it in equal measure. We had lots of exciting insights into the lives of the locals and he also showed us lots of great things in nature (various fruit trees, animals and agriculture) We would recommend everyone to take a tour with Samol ♥️ he also adapts it to his guests individually. Speaks great English!

Have so much fun with Sam Ol and Wendy - After the afternoon tour, I booked Sam ol for another tour in the morning to complete my full day experience, and I had so much fun the whole morning. Though, the rice noodle is not being produced but he still went far and beyond to explain things for me and searched for the rice noodle so I can try how it tastes, and he able to find a good chicken curry rice noodle from the local shop, I’m so happy for it because I got to taste the real authentic one cooked by the local. He also very flexible to make sure that my needs and requests are being fulfilled even when I told him I want to buy cat food, he did find me a local petshop early in the morning while they are not open yet 😁 All of his explanation also very clear and able to be understand, and he shared all of his knowledge regarding the places we visited, with ‘additional’ interesting information about the country and the history behind it, as always 😁 Overall, if you visit Battambang I recommend to use Sam Ol tour to experience Battambang at its very best ❤️

Be sure to spend an afternoon with Samol! - Samol is one of the best guides we've ever had. He speaks great English, has a lot of information, is funny and was always by our side. We definitely took the bamboo train and tried the rat. We were more than skeptical. But it was simply an experience that we will never forget!

Amazing tour and guide - Sam ol was an amazing tour guide, and so helpful with all our cambodia travel plans. The tour was amazing with so many stops and interesting stories about battambang, buddhism, Khmer rouge and many more. He is clearly a very experienced guide and knows the answer to any question you have. He took us to a really nice quiet spot after seeing the bats initially leave the cave to see the path of the bats which I was surprised to see no other tour guide take their groups to. Overall and amazing tour I would highly recommend.
