★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 1,436 reviews · 5 - 12 hours · from $9Our pick

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. We learnt a lot about Cambodia and enjoyed the variety of the tour - seeing life outside the town, a meal in a village, the bamboo train, the history of the killing cave, an explanation of the town name, the wobbly suspension bridge and seeing the bats come out of the cave was just amazing! Samol got us where we needed to go at exactly the right time, with humour and energy. It was a lovely group of 7 people…”
