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.

Bat caves

We had a good day in Battambang! Best spring rolls I have ever eaten! And it was really amazing to see the bats leave the cave!

È stata una bellissima giornata! Insieme alla nostra guida Kuysin ci siamo immersi nel vero popolo cambogiano! Kuysin ci ha fatto scoprire tanti lati della storia kmer che non immaginavamo, il suo modo di raccontarci la triste storia avvenuta a killing cave è stato veramente toccante, lo ringrazio di cuore per le emozioni che ci ha trasmesso oggi!

Best Battambang experience

Nak, Vantha and our driver “James Bond” were absolutely awesome! The passion and knowledge they had were amazing, and just added to the already great experience. I cannot recommend these people enough. Go with them! Trust me! They are the best people, so genuine and honest. You must tour Battambang with them. Thank you to Nak and the boys. The best tour I’ve ever had!

Amazing tour of the Battambang Region !!

Amazing day tour of the Battambang region ! Our guides Nak and Vantha as well as our driver James Bond made it such an enjoyable experience. They were all extremely knowledgeable of all things Cambodia culture and history. If you're tight on time and can't afford to stay in Battambang, this is a perfect tour. The viewing of the Bat caves at Sunset was an unforgettable sight.

Excellent day trip from Siem Reap

This was a wonderful tour - highly recommend. Chanthorn was my most excellent tour guide - and his knowledge of the area and of the history of the area and of the country was invaluable. We ended the visit with a trip to the pagoda on Sompov mountain, the killing caves from the Khmer Rouge period, and nearby is also where we saw the bats emerge from the cave at sunset. I highly recommend this day trip, and Chanthorn as a guide.
