Escape the bustle of Siem Reap with a private or small-group day tour to Battambang, a charming provincial capital located about three hours away. As Cambodia’s second largest town, Battambang offers a laid-back, authentic atmosphere that remains largely untouched by mass tourism. During your visit, you’ll explore the city’s highlights, including the ancient Ek Phnom Temple from the Angkorian era, a traditional rice paper-making factory, and Psa Nat, the vibrant local market. You’ll also admire the colonial architecture of the old Governor’s residence. A ride on the famous bamboo train will take you through the picturesque countryside and rural villages, and the day ends at Phnom Sompov, where you can sit back and watch millions of bats emerge from a cave at sunset, a truly unforgettable sight. Includes return transfer back to your hotel in Siem Reap.

Worth every single penny !!

Honestly if I could give 10 star for this review I would! From start to finish it was absolutely incredible! We’re staying in siem reap with a strict time scale so coming for a day trip with all the highlights was worth every single penny! Our tour give and driver were 10/10 for everything! English is incredible, made sure that we was comfortable and happy at every step and his knowledge on the area was extensive! I can’t recommend enough! Thank you for such an amazing day x

Would recommend

We had an amazing day visiting Battambang and the bamboo train.Our guide Sorphea was very helpful and accomodating. He had a lot of knowledge about the different places we went to and answered all of our questions. The driver Thnou brought us safe and sound to our destinations. Both of them made sure we had enough water all day long and got us local snacks and things to try. It was a really good tour, we even got to see another temple which wasn't part of the tour as we had some time left.

Thank you for a beautiful trip Mr. Nak!

This is a great option if you want a break from the group tours! Mr. Nak was a super informative & great tour guide who told us so much about history & local legends. I really enjoyed this trip - everything was great but the bamboo train & Sampoav Mountain were my favorites. 10000% recommend!

An action packed day in Battambang

Nak was the most knowledgeable tour guide we have had while in Cambodia! We learnt so much about Cambodia's history and about life in Cambodia today. Our driver Tanu drove us safely to each stop and back to Siem Reap in the dark. We chose the tour because we ran out of time to stay in Battambang - so for anyone else that is in the same position I would recommend this tour. It packed a lot in - a temple, visited a family business that makes rice paper rolls and sells spring rolls (which were delicious!), visited the market and sampled some local foods, went to the Provincial Museum, rode the bamboo train, and finished with the Killing Caves and the Bat Cave. Its very hard to pick a highlight.

Bats Cave was fantastic!

I booked the group tour and was surprised that I received a private tour since no one else booked this tour that day. As already mentioned, my highlight was also the Bambootrain and of course the Bats Cave. Sath and Channa made it possible for me to have a wonderful day.

San Diego,

The Battambang tour with Nak is a must do! You won’t be disappointed.

Nak was a fantastic tour guide! This tour was exactly what I was looking for. It showed the highlights of Battambang in an easily digestible manner. Nak was extremely knowledgeable about Battambang and Cambodia. He spoke very good English and was easy to understand. He was patient but also kept us on schedule. He is also a wonderful photographer and knows the best photos ops! I high recommend this tour and Nak as a tour guide!
