Guide very prepared and visibly woven to the work he does and the well-being of travelers We took a very authentic tour of the area during which the guide provided many valuable and interesting curiosities To do!
Great trip with Bun (whose English is really good). He gave us a varied trip of culture, countryside and fun. We visited parts of Battambang we wouldn’t have otherwise seen. The bamboo train is def a fun thing to do (and may be closed soon apparently) plus the killing caves (harrowing but important to learn about) and witnessing 5million bats flying from their roosting cave are simply a must do.
Fantastic afternoon. The bamboo railway was exhilarating, The Killing Caves were educational and so peaceful when you consider their past. And the Bat Cave was phenomenal.
Fantastic guide, who made the trip worthwhile, very knowledgeable. Get the bamboo train before it disappears
Bun was an excellent host, prompt pick up and interesting bits of information throughout the day. He has cold water for us and was happy to answer any questions. Heads up that there is also a "big train" that uses the bamboo track which we didnt realise. We did have to wait about 20mins at the end of the track for that to pass (afternoon trip time). During that time there are a few families selling souvenirs, food and drinks.
What a great day! It is quite long though so keep that in mind, sitting in a tuktuk for 7 hours. Loved the bat caves and the bamboo train, as well as just seeing more of the country side.
We had a great day out with Bun while in Battambang. We did the afternoon tour on a rainy day. Bun was an incredibly informative guide with lots of local insight and commentary on daily life in Cambodia. He was flexible and mindful of our needs, taking us to buy rain ponchos when it really came down. He also gave us an excellent restaurant recommendation for dinner and dropped us there at the end of the trip. The bamboo train was a real highlight. Bun is worth every penny, a kind and experienced guide.
The tour guide gave a lot of interesting information about both the history and the current situation in Battambang and Cambodia in general. A good half-day trip to the must-see facilities in Battambang.
A great half day exploring all the surrounding attractions of Battambang, with plenty of local insight along the way. Enjoyed our experience, would recommend!
Our guide was Bun and he gave us a great mix of country life, commentary on the lives of Cambodians and some incredible sights. We won’t forget the bamboo train (and having to jump off and dismantle it while the big train came by) or the sight of millions of bats leaving a cave at dusk to have a night hunting bugs. Really special experience and great value.
