While we walked around town, we met Sothea who was a local guide in Batdambang. We talked with him about what we can do here. He told us about many tour to do such as tuk tuk, bike tour and walking tour. We decided to do walking tour with him. For other four we close Tuk Tuk because It was good for hot weather. The day after, we did had a beautiful day walking tour with Sothea. We have learned a lot history of city such as city name, geographic in old the time, what people do and live in daily life. We also watched some painting on French colonial building. It was quiet and nice view. Sothea has a good knowledge about the history and his English too. We loved the tour so much and would like to recommended it to others visitors.

What a wonderful tour! The guide was so knowledgeable and clearly is wonderful at his job. His enthusiasm and passion about local history was infectious and I left feeling like I had learnt and gained so much from my tour. I would also like to add that I have also experienced much lower quality tours and I hope that tourists use trip advisor to determine the great from the bad.. I think some are not as qualified and still charge the same if not more and this should be considered when booking up. This was one of the best tours I have experienced and I really hope that my guide knows how good he is at his job.
Nice way to learn history
