Getting away as a small group or private day tour from Siem Reap to Battambang (3 hours each way), it is a provincial capital of Battambang province which is the second biggest town of Cambodia. However it still has a very local, untouristed, provincial atmosphere. You will stroll around the city to visit:
- Ek Phnom Phnom Temple from Angkorian Era
- Rice Paper Local Factory
- Psa Nat, the local market
- The old colonial buildings of the Governor’s residence
- Experience the famous bamboo train ride will bring you through countryside and local villages
- Phnom Sompov (Sompov Mountain), sit back and relax to watch millions of bats leave the cave during the beautiful sunset.

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.

Our guide had a lot of explanations to share with us and an excellent sense of humor. The attentive driver

This is a great option if you want a break from the group tours! Mr. Nak was a super informative & great tour guide who told us so much about history & local legends. I really enjoyed this trip - everything was great but the bamboo train & Sampoav Mountain were my favorites. 10000% recommend!

Nak was the most knowledgeable tour guide we have had while in Cambodia! We learnt so much about Cambodia's history and about life in Cambodia today. Our driver Tanu drove us safely to each stop and back to Siem Reap in the dark.
We chose the tour because we ran out of time to stay in Battambang - so for anyone else that is in the same position I would recommend this tour.
It packed a lot in - a temple, visited a family business that makes rice paper rolls and sells spring rolls (which were delicious!), visited the market and sampled some local foods, went to the Provincial Museum, rode the bamboo train, and finished with the Killing Caves and the Bat Cave. Its very hard to pick a highlight.

I booked the group tour and was surprised that I received a private tour since no one else booked this tour that day. As already mentioned, my highlight was also the Bambootrain and of course the Bats Cave. Sath and Channa made it possible for me to have a wonderful day.

Nak was a fantastic tour guide! This tour was exactly what I was looking for. It showed the highlights of Battambang in an easily digestible manner. Nak was extremely knowledgeable about Battambang and Cambodia. He spoke very good English and was easy to understand. He was patient but also kept us on schedule. He is also a wonderful photographer and knows the best photos ops! I high recommend this tour and Nak as a tour guide!

Arrived on time, vehicle was great, long drive to Battambang, so Voath used the time to explain the history of Cambodia, from way back up to the recent troubles. Very informative. When we got to each destination, he explained what to look at, helped me take pictures as required, organised food and drink as I needed. We went for a hike late in the afternoon, and he was checking out for my safety on the caves, and we talked more generally about Cambodian life. All round great. Fantastic trip, and the bats well!

Sath was an excellent tour guide who was knowledgeable about the tour and very helpful. Bamboo train ride and the bat cave were definitely highlights. Would recommend if you want a day trip to Battambang.
