Spend roughly seven hours with an English-speaking guide such as Samol or David, riding tuk-tuks through Battambang, villages, rice fields, and fruit farms. Add the original bamboo train, Phnom Sampov’s Killing Cave, a sunset viewpoint, and millions of bats leaving their cave.

“This was an excellent tour! We saw so many things in a short time and Samol was very enthusiastic. He explained a lot to us and was very well organised.
