Rural tour with a focus on local produce - If you are looking for an experience that goes beyond sightseeing, Kim Tours delivers a journey into Cambodia’s rural life, with a special focus on local produce, traditional farming, and village craftsmanship. From the moment you are picked up, your guide Kim offers warm hospitality and deep knowledge of Battambang’s countryside. The tour starts at the local market and takes you through the lush rice paddies, quiet backroads, and small villages. On our way we tasted freshly baked waffles with a coconut flavour, bamboo sticky rice and rice wine. We visited a family-run rice paper producer, banana chip producer, sticky rice producer, a rice wine producer and so on. So if you want to truly understand what rural life in Cambodia tastes, smells, and feels like, Kim Tours Battambang is a must. We were extremely happy with the way Kim runs its business. Note that he offers a number of other services and in our case we also travelled with him from Battambang to Phnom Penh (including a couple of sightseeing stops).

Learn about local produce and culture - We did the morning local produce tour with Kim and really enjoyed it. He gave lots of useful insights on local culture, agriculture and food. Favourite stop was watching rice paper being made! Thanks for a great experience!

100% recommendation - Everything was great! I can really only recommend this tour, it was just everything perfect ! It was very informative, away from all the other tourists, you got to know many locals, everyone was super nice and friendly. My highlight were the bats, but also the production of rice wine, the rice noodles, and the rice paper was super exciting and interesting to watch! Thanks to Kim for this wonderful day, it was a great pleasure to meet you, and thank you for showing me so much, and answering all my questions. Your English is great, I wish you only the best!

Excellent - The guide, Kim was excellent and he spoke good English. Each stop was very well explained. The visit encompassed a pagoda, bar making process, rice wine making process, rice paper making, killing field and crocodile farm. Would highly recommend.

A professional driver guide who aims to be known - The best guide we had throughout the stay. Lovely, speaks good English, funny, respects the route and does not force. He is also a Guide so he is not just a driver. His (personal) story that he counts on you before/during/after Khmer Rouge is striking. For the day, I did a mix of northeast and southwest Battambang province: the flight of bats is really impressive (even if you've seen a lot like me in your life). I highly recommend it.

Tour Guides Don't Get Any Better - We have spent many days on many continents with many guides, and Kim ranks in the top tier. He is articulate, knowledgable, passionate, thoughtful, a good listener to questions and a good driver. We found his Livelihood Tour around Battambang fascinating and thoroughly satisfying, leaving us with a greater understooding of the area's culture and lifestyle and also its architecture, plant life and history. What more could a tour offer? Don't hesitate to book Kim for any of his tours.

Village tour - Kim is really friendly tuktuk driver and guide. His English is very good and he can answer almost all of your questions. He took us through the villages surrounding Battambang and told us a lot about the history of the Khmer people and Cambodja. We saw a lot of the everyday life of the Khmer which was really interesting. I would recommend this experience!
