My wife and I had the greatest day. Vantha our guide and the driver made sure we had the best trip. The itinerary was good and Vanthas expert knowledge of Cambodian history, mythology and culture made the day truly memorable. We couldn’t have been looked after any better!!

Bun is an amazing guide who helped me feel the culture of Siem Reap carrying me from one temple to another, and then there was a spectacular one-day to Kulen Mountain and a local dinner!

I had an absolutely lovely time with Burong seeing all of the sites in Battambang. Burong was extremely knowledgeable and patiently answered all of my questions. I highly recommend using Burong for a thorough and enjoyable experience in Battambang

A must do trip! Excellent full day tour with experienced driver Phiron, and guide Sam. Sam was VERY knowledgable about every thing! Encouraged us to ask questions and answered every one in good detail. Both were very friendly , courteous , lprofessional and fun. Enjoyed everything with the Bats being my favourite.

What a great day out! San and Mr Thnou (guide and driver), met us at our hotel and took us in a great and varied day in and around Battambang. We had some lovely sticky rice from bamboo tubes enroute, then stopped off to see rice paper being made and having some delicious spring rolls (fried and non fried). A temple visit before visiting a local market and museum was quickly followed by a lovely lunch in a local cafe where the food was excellent. The bamboo train ride was great fun and all this was followed by the amazing sight of seeing millions of bats leaving their cave at dusk (they were still leaving after 20 minutes!). The service and knowledge provided by San was of the very best quality and the drivers support with plenty of cold water and refreshing towels every time we got back on the lovely bus was very much welcomed. Whilst not advertised as part of the trip, just watching the local Cambodian way of life on the route was also a positive. Definitely suggest you take this trip.

Our tour guide gave unique and interesting insights into the history of Cambodia and the Khmer people as he took us around the city of Battambang. A comfortable car ride with a small group I enjoyed the bamboo train and the experience of the bats at the end.

Vireak is an amazing tour guide! He took us to a market that does not see a lot of tourists. It was a fun experience. Some highlights from this excursion are: the market, rice paper making stop, checking out the Ek Phnom temple (it’s older than Angkor Wat), going for a ride on the bamboo train, Battambang market, Battambang museum, the killing cave, and the amazing site of the bats flying out of the bat cave. We saw lots of monkeys at the bat cave as well. They are very entertaining to watch at a distance. We learned a lot and highly recommend this tour and the wonderful Vireak as a tour guide.

We were so lucky to be paired with Vireak as our tour guide again! This time we booked the Battambang Day Trip. Vireak and our driver were wonderful, and despite the long drive, they provided us lots of interesting stops along the way, including a local market, and a small rice paper making location. We also toured a market in Battambang, had a delicious lunch in Battambang, and then walked up the mountain to see the killing caves. The Buddha statue carved in the mountain was beautiful, and we even saw a lot of monkeys! Vireak was again so informative, and pleasant to talk with, and provided us with so many insights into Cambodian culture. The highlight of the evening was the millions of bats flying out of the cave at dusk. Highly recommend this tour and Vireak!!!

Fun day out with San who shared his extensive experience of Cambodia and took us round the trip locations. Good fun on the bambood train seeing the countryside of Cambodia. Finished the evening off watching the bats. Pickup and getting round, entry etc all included.
