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.

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.

Excedllent tour guide

We just completed a two day trip with Van Long, an excellent enthusiastic guide who spoke perfect English. He was great company on the bus trip from Siem Reap and was very knowledgeable about Battambang. He was flexible in the itinerary and very helpful. It would have been good to have a cold box with water and cold towels as it was very hot on the Tuk Tuk! The highlight of the trip was the Bamboo Train!
