Battambang Day Trip from Siem Reap-Bamboo Train, Bats Cave and Sunset (13h)

We had an incredible day with our tour guide Mr. Vireak and driver Mr. Channa. While the tour activities were all very engaging, the real highlight for us was the warmth and candor of our tour guide, who provided a wealth of information and history on the region throughout the day. While it’s a full day out including travel from Siem Reap, the itinerary is well paced and varied and we had plenty of opportunity for rest breaks as needed. Great company to work with and hope to use them again whenever we come back!

It was a varied day with lots of information. Thanks to our guide Nak ???? a long but entertaining day of travel

Excellent day trip. Our driver Billy and tumour guide Nak were spot on, keeping the family informed, entertained and refreshed and fed.0700 pick up and 2100 return. The van was very comfortable with reclining seats that allowed us all to sleep while driving.Nak was extremely knowledgeable with very good English. He was able to answer all the various questions we had and inform us about Cambodian life and culture.Nak was previously a monk and was also able to explain what life was like as a practising monk for 10 years.All areas attractions we wanted to see were covered, a local temple, sampled local spring rolls and how they are made, Battambang market, lunch in a very nice local restaurant, museum, bamboo train, killing caves and bats.We felt safe with Billy driving and it was an extremely comfortable drive with breaks as required. I would recommend this day trip from siem reap rather than staying the night at Battambang, it worked better for us and there is more to do in the evenings in SR. The children really enjoyed the day (ages 7 & 10).

An amazing day to finish our holiday. Great drive there to meet our tour guide and tuk tuk driver David for the day. He was able to take us where we wanted to go rather than follow a set itinerary.The bamboo train is an amazing experience I would highly recommend. We also went on 2 suspension bridges. Lunch was at a very small local restaurant with excellent food. We wanted to see farming and were taken off the beaten track which was exactly what we wanted. Visited an oyster mushroom farm saw fruit bats, tried sticky bean rice and so much more. We enjoyed the views from the temple we wanted to visit and had a lift up and down in a truck. Then on to watch the millions of bats flying out of the cave at dusk.Good trip back to Siem Reap. We kept at 7am and returned at 9.30. Can't recommend the trip and David highly enough.A day to always remember.

We were picked up promptly at 7.30am by Nak and the driver. The vehicle was spotless. We had as much cold water as we needed for the journey and we were also supplied with cold refreshing towels. The journey to Battambang was a long one but it went quickly and it was helped along by Nak's commentary and insights into Cambodian life. The stops were all good and we found the rice paper one to be quite interesting (you might want to skip the tasting of the cooked spring roll as it was quite greasy) and the also the buddha and temple stop. The star of the show was the bamboo train which was a lot of fun - it was interesting to see that the road traffic had right of way rather than the train. We skipped the bat cave as we wanted to get back to Siem Reap by 6pm otherwise we would have been hanging around waiting for the bats and not getting back until 9-10pm which makes it a very long day. You might need to check what time the bats are due to come out as depending on the time of the year they can be early or much later.

Pickup was from hotel at 7:30am and drop off was around 9:30pm. A full day and excellent value.Sorphea was a helpful, friendly and informative guide who made the day a very worthwhile experience.Comfortable air conditioned vehicle, cold water and cool refresher towels included. Overall a great tour and highly recommended.

Honestly if I could give 10 star for this review I would! From start to finish it was absolutely incredible! We’re staying in siem reap with a strict time scale so coming for a day trip with all the highlights was worth every single penny! Our tour give and driver were 10/10 for everything! English is incredible, made sure that we was comfortable and happy at every step and his knowledge on the area was extensive! I can’t recommend enough! Thank you for such an amazing day x

We had an amazing day visiting Battambang and the bamboo train.Our guide Sorphea was very helpful and accomodating. He had a lot of knowledge about the different places we went to and answered all of our questions. The driver Thnou brought us safe and sound to our destinations. Both of them made sure we had enough water all day long and got us local snacks and things to try. It was a really good tour, we even got to see another temple which wasn't part of the tour as we had some time left.

Amazing tour!!!!! Thank you so much Nak ( our tour guide) and Borey (our driver) for the fun day we had We highly recommend !!!!!
