Day Tour - We had a great day with Kim. We were a group of four and discovered the local market then visited the city while learning a lot about its history. He then took us to the countryside and took the time to tell us the history of his country and that of his family, especially the Killing Caves. We ended with a beautiful sunset with beautiful lights, then observing bats on two different spots. Kim is a very nice person, funny and comfortable with. The whole group was delighted, thank you for a great day! 😊

KIM IS THE BEST! - The tour Kim offered us was simply spectacular. We spent two days with him and truly enjoyed every moment. His tuk tuk is very comfortable and spacious. It’s clear that Kim is passionate about his work and deeply loves his culture. We learned so much from him. He took us to beautiful places and showed us the countryside of lovely Battambang. He always had cold bottles of water for us, which we truly appreciated. His attention and service are excellent, and his English is very good. I highly recommend hiring him! Thank you so much, Kim, for all your kindness and great care.

With Mr Kim, you can just relax and he’ll take care of you, making sure everything runs smoothly. Furthermore, his English is superb and his explanations clear and straightforward. I also highly recommend his morning tour!

Best tour guide in Battambang! - What a wonderful day with Kim! He was so informative and patient throughout the whole day. We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide! He was flexible in creating a day that was suited toward what we wanted to see and you could tell he was a man of the people. He would stop into people's homes and show us what it's like living as a local in Battambang! The bamboo train was lots of fun and the bat cave and killing cave were incredible as well. Do yourself a favor and give this man your business. You won't regret it!

The most amazing day! - I had the most exciting day in Battambang thanks to Mr. Kim as a guide! He speaks really good English and he’s an excellent tour guide: with him I spent the whole day getting to know about the history of his country and his city, the local culture and costumes, as well as the most stunning naturalistic views! He’s very passionate about his job, he loves his city very much and he shares all of this with you! 100% recommended, I would definitely book him again if given the chance!!

Wonderful Mr Kim! - Kim is a lovely man and a brilliant tour guide. We initially booked him for a one day tour, but about an hour into the day we were so happy we booked him again for the next day too! Kim speaks excellent English, is very knowledgeable, has a great sense of humour, and flexible to meet your specific needs. We had a truly wonderful time with him and recommend most highly!

Battambang story - Character who has adapted to the personality of each participant. The whole route was true to the description. Telling the story of his country as he lived in his flesh is a real plus and also a very understandable English for foreigners like me. I recommend to anyone who will pass in the area to choose this excursion.
