Battambang Day Trip from Siem Reap-Bamboo Train, Bats Cave and Sunset (13h)

Really good trip! San our tour guide and the wonderful driver, Channa, were very accommodating. Stopping to let us try local delicacy...stucky rice. The rice paper rolls were incredible and the bamboo train was sooooo fun!! We had a great day and would highly recommend ????

Super well organised and fun day trip to Battambang. Had a great time checking out the main attractions - guided by the wonderful San who had fantastic knowledge of everything Cambodia, from history to the best spot in Battambang for lunch (and some excellent photography skills to top it off)

Well organized tour. Great knowledge about the area and showed you all the key things in the area. Loved the Bamboo train and the bats at the end are worth the wait. Lunch was great and you get some spring rolls at another stop as well. Long day but worth doing if you are short on time.

A well organised day trip to the Battambang region. Well paced and very informative, very relaxed day. Our Guide, San, shared his vast knowledge and we had great fun on the Bamboo Train

The Guide San was the key to the day.His knowledge of the sites we visited as well as Khmer culture and history was outstanding. The tour was smooth and seamless as we moved from site to site and his personality worked so well with our group comprising 2 couples. This tour at around 15 hours is a very long one, and San was supported so well by our driver Channa who was most professional and safe, particularly as we travelled back in the dark. The tour and staff are highly recommended for anyone who wants to understand Cambodia in greater detail.

San was our very helpful, knowledgeable, kind and observant guide. I felt completely safe and knew our driver Phearom was also mindful of helping us understand what we were seeing and get the best local treats along the route. It’s a long day but completely worth it with all you see and do. We came away feeling that we saw and learned much more about Cambodian life, history, language and kind people than if we had just stayed in Siem Reap. Waking around ancient, not touristy, temple ruins. Visiting local market and government building. Watching rice paper for spring rolls being made (and eating some!). Flying down tracks, through small town and countryside on bamboo train. Mesmerized by bats escaping cliff with huge Buddha stone carvings. Eating so many different treats. Meeting lots of kind local people. Don’t miss! Ar-kohn to San and Phearom.

We had an incredible day with our tour guide Mr. Vireak and driver Mr. Channa. While the tour activities were all very engaging, the real highlight for us was the warmth and candor of our tour guide, who provided a wealth of information and history on the region throughout the day. While it’s a full day out including travel from Siem Reap, the itinerary is well paced and varied and we had plenty of opportunity for rest breaks as needed. Great company to work with and hope to use them again whenever we come back!

It was a varied day with lots of information. Thanks to our guide Nak ???? a long but entertaining day of travel

Excellent day trip. Our driver Billy and tumour guide Nak were spot on, keeping the family informed, entertained and refreshed and fed.0700 pick up and 2100 return. The van was very comfortable with reclining seats that allowed us all to sleep while driving.Nak was extremely knowledgeable with very good English. He was able to answer all the various questions we had and inform us about Cambodian life and culture.Nak was previously a monk and was also able to explain what life was like as a practising monk for 10 years.All areas attractions we wanted to see were covered, a local temple, sampled local spring rolls and how they are made, Battambang market, lunch in a very nice local restaurant, museum, bamboo train, killing caves and bats.We felt safe with Billy driving and it was an extremely comfortable drive with breaks as required. I would recommend this day trip from siem reap rather than staying the night at Battambang, it worked better for us and there is more to do in the evenings in SR. The children really enjoyed the day (ages 7 & 10).
