Samol was one of the best guides we’ve had on our South East Asia travels. His English was perfect and was so informative. Went into depth about every subject and was so knowledgeable. Would highly recommend the full day tour to get a good mix of culture and history. We were even invited back to his home for dinner. We supplied the dinner and drinks and paid for our fare through him back to our hotel. It was insinuated that that was expected. Would recommend booking directly with him through whatsapp or his website for a better deal.Had an amazing day visiting all of the famous attractions in Battambang with Samol.

Sam ol was an amazing tour guide, and so helpful with all our cambodia travel plans. The tour was amazing with so many stops and interesting stories about battambang, buddhism, Khmer rouge and many more. He is clearly a very experienced guide and knows the answer to any question you have. He took us to a really nice quiet spot after seeing the bats initially leave the cave to see the path of the bats which I was surprised to see no other tour guide take their groups to. Overall and amazing tour I would highly recommend.Samol was an incredible guide with a great energy, passion for his country and story telling.

Samol was an incredible guide with a great energy, passion for his country and story telling. He took us round the city explaining the history of the buildings and we visited some temples. The Bamboo Train was great fun and you were surrounded by beautiful landscapes, really recommend it. After a quick lunch stop we tried some rat (quite tasty!) then drove to the Viewpoints, Killing Cave and Bat Cave. The Viewpoints alone were worth the trip!! The Killing Cave was sombre but a good experience. Lastly, the bats were incredible - Samol made sure to get us there on time as they have been coming out earlier recently. He then took us to a great spot to watch them fly out further. One of the best days of our trip so far. Samol was amazing!he trip was amazing. Samol “small but spicy” was an excellent tour guide.

The spring rolls at the rice paper producer where incredible!! He also showed us some sights in the city centre and brought us to visit temples and in each case Samol explained the context and history.
