What To Expect

On this tour, visit Battambang with round-trip transportation from your Siem Reap hotel included, and see the sites with ease by tuk tuk. Along the way, your guide shares insight into must-see sites like the infamous Killing Caves and Wat Banan temple.

This tour was an excellent way to see a different part of Cambodia by visiting Battambang! Our driver picked us up at 7:15am and we arrived in Battambang for 10am where we met our guide Mr Han. Mr Han took us around the war memorial, to try locally made spring rolls, to the bamboo train. And then a temple that predated Angkor wat. We went to the killing cave and saw the bats exit the cave! Comfortable drive and great tour, would absolutely recommend.
Excellent trip!

Mr Han met me and the driver at Battambang, and we were able to see so many things in the area. Visiting the Killing Cave was such a valuable experience. It was sobering but so important to understand the history of the area. The Bamboo Train was so much fun, Wat Banan temples were fascinating and lunch was delicious. Seeing the bats leaving their cave really topped off the day! Mr Han was a wonderful guide. He’s very friendly and enthusiastic to share information about this area that he’s clearly super knowledgeable about. He also spoke of his own life and experiences, which I’m sure is extremely difficult to discuss, but I found it so valuable. Thanks for a wonderful tour!
