Great morning experience. The guide was possibly the most fluent Cambodian guide that we had up to that date and very knowledgeable too. Thoroughly enjoyed the ride and all the different places that we visited. Was the highlight of our trip to Battambang.

We made two tours with Bun. One tuktuk tour through the country side + bat cave and one half a day bike tour. Bun is excellent! Speaks English very well, is familiar with the local activities and no effort is too much. Higly recommended!

Wat een bijzondere gids. Bun verteld beel mooi over de geshiedenis van zijn land. Zijn verhalen hebben een persoonlijk tintje vanuit eigen ervaringen, hierdoor werdt het voor mij heel bijzonder. Het is ook een mooie tour om te doen en onderweg zorgt Bun ervoor dat zijn gasten niets te kort komen....
