Siem Reap To Battambang Private Guided Tour (Day Trip)

So overpriced if you book this on Viator - just sort it locally. If we had one locally we old have been over 100 dollars less

We were very disappointed with this excursion which i had booked several weeks in advance, based on the reviews ACT had. It is quite an expensive tour, so I was expecting a high level of service. The driver picked us up from our hotel in Siem Reap ok, but the car was very old with worn and split seats. The seat belts didn't work properly and were badly frayed. Not safe and illegal in most countries. The guide's English was ok but not great which led to a few issues. He tried to take us on the standard tour but I had specifically agreed on booking what I wanted and didn't want to do, which was ignored. The journey back in the dark was frightening as the driver drove dangerously, taking many risks. We were relieved ti make it back to the hotel. I've raised my concerns with ACT direct but had no response, which is telling. This tour was a total con.

I had a wonderful day with Jay and Mr. Hong in Battambang, who were both lovely, and Jay was an excellent guide. I wish I could have stayed longer in Battambang but I'm so glad I could at least do this tour for the day. Highly recommend!

Would definitely recommend this trip! Our driver and tour guide were both great. The trip on the bamboo train was fun and the bats were one of the highlights of my trip to Cambodia. Mr Jack our tour guide also took us to different houses in the village to see how banana chips, rice paper and rice wine were made. This was a nice extra and insight into life in Battambang. Mr Jack also taught us a lot about general life in Cambodia which was really interesting

Did a Battambang day tour as well as a food tour with Lux and it was great! Lux was knowledgeable, friendly and extremely accommodating. For the food tour, he will bring you to eating places for locals and that’s exactly what I wanted in order to get an authentic Siem Reap experience. Will strongly recommend to anyone looking for a guide in Siem Reap and beyond!

Brilliant day trip to Battambang and the surrounding area with hotel pick up from Siem Reap. Driver Hong and guide Jacky we’re both great. Seen so much in one day including a ride on the bamboo train as seen on Travels with my Father with Jack Whitehall and his dad Michael, Battambang City, temple and the bat cave at sunset as well as many more sights. This is a very long day but it is well worth it. Jacky had loads of interesting stories and was able to answer any questions I had. It was a really interesting and enjoyable day. Well recommended!

I couldn’t recommend this tour more. Lux and his team were great. This day tour was one of our highlights of our time in Siem Reap. We squeezed in so much in one day, tiring by the end but so worth it. The bamboo train and bats are a must. Everything from booking to meeting Lux was an easy process. If you have a spare day while in Siem Reap, I would definitely recommend booking this tour. Thank you for an amazing tour!

Good choice if you want to see Battambang without spending the night there. The drivers and guides all have good to great English skills. The number one reason to go is the bat caves at the end -- truly amazing. The tour also includes several nice opportunities for tasty local snacks -- like fresh spring rolls at the rice paper makers.

Very practical. I saw everything in one day with plenty of very good explanations from the guide. I highly recomand

A program which allowes you to see eveything in one day and be back to Siem Reap the same day. The explainations were excellent and gave me a very good understanding of what I was looking at and also about the country in general. I recommand that tour at 100%

We had a fantastic time taking the day trip from Siem Reap to Battambang. The ride on the bamboo train and exploring the markets were great, but what really set this apart was watching the millions of bats leave their cave as we sat on the side of a mountain at sunset drinking beer and eating rats! Quite the experience to round out a really excellent day of exploring.

Battambang is a sleepy provincial town and has less tourists as a result but it's nice to get out of the bustle of Siem Reap and see another part of the country. It's a long drive to and back from Siem Reap though so be prepared for a long day. The bamboo train ride was kind of cheesy but bat cave viewing was amazing. Our tour guide Sukha was very nice.

We had a lovely day in Battambang. The bamboo train was a lot of fun and the bat cave was amazing. It was a long day, but our driver was very safe and considerate. The local guide in Battambang was excellent. His English was perfect and he was very knowledgeable. Thank you for an interesting trip. Well worth seeing.

This tour was one of our favourite things to do during our time in Cambodia! The bat cave at sunset was spectacular and the bamboo train was a lot of fun. It made for a great (but very long) day.

My partner and I booked a day trip to Battambang with Lux from Siam Reap. We both really wanted to visit Battambang however due to time constraints could not spend more than one day in the city. Before arriving in Cambodia Lux kindly put together a full day itinerary for us which included visiting rice fields, bamboo train, central market and the bat cave. The trip was fantastic which was due to Lux’s vast knowledge of the country and perfect English. Lux ensured we had enough time at each stop and I could not recommend the trip enough.
