We visited so many incredible places, including the Killing Caves, the bamboo train, the suspension bridge, and ended the day watching the bats fly out at sunset — which was absolutely amazing and something we’ll never forget. Our tour guide Samol was fantastic. He has so much knowledge and was incredibly passionate about teaching us about his country, its history, and its people. He explained everything clearly, answered all our questions, and made the entire experience both informative and enjoyable. This tour gave us a much deeper…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 182 reviews · 7 hours

Spend seven hours with a local English-speaking guide such as David, Kim, Dan, or Rich, traveling by tuk-tuk through Battambang. Visit bridges, pagodas, village stops, the original bamboo train, Phnom Sampov’s Killing Cave, and the famous Bat Cave. The tour includes hotel pickup, water, and cave admission. The bamboo train costs $5 extra.

“Kim was wonderful, he even kindly came to pick us up from the bus station instead of the hotel because our bus from Siem Reap to Battambang arrived late and it was almost 30 minutes past the beginning time for the tour. The bamboo train ($5 pp) was fun and seeing how they have to deconstruct the rigs to let each other pass in different directions in the train track was so interesting. The killing caves were very somber and Kim devoted some time to educate us about the history of the country. Finally, the bats coming out of the cave is quite espectacular and Kim knew the right places…”
