Afternoon Tour BambooTrain & Bat Cave

Highly recommended

We organised our tour with Pao via WhatsApp off a recommendation from his friend in Siem Reap. Our afternoon with Pao was excellent. He took us around Battambang and stopped to point out parts of the history. His tour hit all the places we wanted to see in our short time in the city. Pao himself is a charismatic local with lots of knowledge and experience to share. It was interesting hearing his perspective on local and global issues. Highly recommend a tour with Pao, he won't let you down!

The best guide in Battambang!!!

The best guide ever!!!! Such a lovely man who went above and beyond to make our afternoon with him special. Couldn’t recommend enough! Thank you so much Pao<3

Truly the best tour guide in Battambang!

You couldn't have a better tour guide than Pao. Although we only had 24hrs in Battambang we have learnt and seen more about Khmer culture, history and the wonderful Battambang (even Pao's village). I cannot recommend Pao's friendly and informative tours. You have found a gem if you go on a Pao tour. Thank you so much Pao!

Pao, the best in town!

Great experience with Pao! Absolutely recommended! He is your guy on battambang, much more than a tuk tuk driver, he's also a guide (that will make you discover the city telling you about Cambodian culture and history) and a friend! We had really interesting talks, and we did the all tour: bamboo train, bat cave, temples, rice wine, everything with is happy and funny mood! If you go to Battambang, Pao is definitely the person you're looking for!

Recommended Tour Guide!

I had two very nice days with Pao. He took me to the highlights of Battambang and gave me a lot of information about them. I can highly recommend him. Just book him!

Thank you Pao!

If you need a tour guide in Battambang, Pao is the man to book with! He has so much knowledge and passion about the area. Felt like spending time with a local friend rather than a tour guide. Couldn’t recommend enough. Incredible value for money, everything we did we thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you Pao! 🙏🏻

AMAZING tour guide

Would recommend Pao as a tour guide for anyone who wants to be shown around Battambang. He is so helpful, knowledgeable and friendly; we felt we had spent the hours with a friend rather than a tour guide as he was so personable, kind and interactive. Not to mention, he is such a polite and sweet human! Glad we ended up meeting him and exploring with his guidance. Thank you Pao, we love you! You are a special human!

Service of an exceptional level

Pao and his brother provided a wonderful tour. They made the experience great by explaining about flora and fauna They made me feel special and not just another customer For all of the work they did , it was great value Thankyou so much. Ian

Great croc farm, rice field, bamboo train, killing cave & bat cave tour with Pao.

We loved our afternoon with Pao. He was funny, knowledgeable, and really cares about the experience he provides for his guests.

Rich cultural experience and beautiful bats

Brilliant day! Pao shared so much about the local culture and family life. Lots of extra bonus parts to the tour too! Bamboo train was great fun, killing cave and Khmer Rouge genocide explained with respectful understanding by Pao through his own family experience of this tragic period. Bat cave sunset was perfect way to finish the day and was a world class wildlife spectacle, I've never seen anything on that scale before! Best in Cambodia.

The best!

We had a really nice halfday tour with Pao.He showed us all the nice spots and told us all about it. We really recommend this tour with him!

Amazing tour of Battambang with Pao

My friends and I arrived in Battambang from Siem Reap early on Saturday morning with only 2 days to explore as much of the area as possible. Spread over the two days Pao took us to every tourist spot on our list plus extras that we hadn’t thought of. We visited the bamboo train, the killing caves, the bat cave, the rice wine factory, a crocodile farm, multiple temples and more! Pao was so flexible with timings for us but also made sure we got to visit everything we wanted. He explained the significance of each place in good English and overall is a great vibe! I would definitely recommend going on a tuk tuk tour with him.

Wonderful time with Pao

Pao is an incredible guide, he is so nice, so kind and always attentive. He is very interesting and we had great conversations with him. he is always smiling and laughing it was a pleasure to spend the day with him. He adapted the tour to make it the best for us, we had a wonderful time. We never take a tour because we usually prefer to make by ourselves, but we don t regret at all, we couldn't have seen all of this wonderful places without Pao, so thank you very much !

Pao

Perfect trip. Pao is a good guide, his english is very good and he tells with passion about traditions, ricefields etc. I will recommend to use him.

Great Day Spent with Pao

We had a great day with Pao. We were concerned because the weather so hot, but Pao was super flexible and took us out in the morning to the Bamboo Train, took us back to our hotel for the afternoon, and then out again for the bat cave in the late afternoon/ evening. Highly recommend him.

Great tour

Fantastic tour with a great guide! He took good care of us and our 4 young children, speaks good English and explained a lot.

Great guide

We heard about Pao from fellow travelers so when we saw his tour we booked him right away. He was such a great guide that we booked him for additional tours to see more of the area. Pao was great about teaching us the history at each stop and tailored the tour based on what we wanted to see. The bamboo train is a simple little ride with some good history that was made very entertaining for us as it rained. The bat cave is located Phnom Sampeau. Pao gave us great instructions on how to view the temples on top and see the amazing views as well as the somber killing cave before returning at the right time to see the bats fly from the lower cave. All around a great experience and like I said, we booked extra tours to see the sites because Pao was so great!

Best Battambang Tour!

We had so much fun on our tour with Pao. He is very warm and friendly and told us all about the area where he is from. He worked very hard to ensure that we had a great time even though it rained and then there were traffic stops along the way. We had a great time on the bamboo train and at the bat cave. Trying rat, snake and enjoying eachothers company. Thanks Pao! We would love to come back and visit again.

Battambong

The Bambi Train and the bat Cave was the Highlight of the tour Pao is a very careful Tuk Tuk driver He has a very great knowledge and has explained everything very well and in deteil we had a lot of Funk We would do any time again a tour with Pao

A brilliant day in Battambang with Pao Tuk Tuk. Big Thanks

Pao is an outstanding Tuk tuk driver and guide. His English is excellent, he is extremely knowledgeable and great fun to be with. We spent a fantastic day with Pao doing his Option 1 tour. Everything was laid back and we had a wonderful 5 hours with him. Nothing was too much trouble for Pao as he was so flexible with his itinerary. If you contemplating spending time in Battambang book Pao well in advance to ensure that you get the best tuk tuk service there. We highly recommend Pao and we are so pleased that we were able to sure our time with him in Battambang. Thank you Pao Good luck Peter and Len Len Philippines

Very good trip and excellent guide

Mr Pao picked us up from the bus station and took us to the hostel for free, he then left us his card and advised that he does tours, with no pressure at all. We messaged him and booked the bamboo train and bat cave for $10 per person. This was a 5 hour trip with a very informative guide who speaks incredible English. Mr Pao gave us lots of information on local life in Battambang and was always making us laugh with his jokes. He finished the tour by offering to drop us to any restaurant we wanted for free. Amazing experience and would recommend Mr Pao tour to anyone.

Big recommendation!

We had a wonderful and unforgettable day with Pao. Pao speaks excellent English and brings you closer to Cambodia. Besides the tourist attractions, he also showed us a lot off the beaten track and told us about the history of the country. He is a kind-hearted, friendly and funny person. I can heartily recommend a tour with Pao to everyone!

Interesting, complete and pleasant tours by the guide/Tuk Tuk driver you are looking for

Pao spoke good English, was very polite and knew the area very well. We asked him to avoid other tourists during our tours and he prepared them including out of the beaten track experiences and peak hours. We enjoyed Battambang very much thanks to him.

Wonderful day around Battambang

Pao speaks english very well, and is very nice and cheerful. We have spent a whole day with him doing the south Battambang tour. He is a careful driver and knows the area and its history very well. An awesome day in Battambang! :)

Amazing guide and lovely person

My boyfriend and I had an amazing time in Battambang thanks to Pov. We had an interesting tour around the city and the countryside. Pov was more than a guide for us, he was like a friend and really helped us in deeply understanding culture and feelings of Cambodian people. We really enjoyed the tour and stronly recommend him as guide. We hope to come back soon to Battambang and certainly first thing we would like to do is calling Pov!

Great experience in Battambang

We went to the bamboo train and the bat caves. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the trip. It was a great experience

Best tuk tuk driver and guide!

I would highly recommend using Pao. We did a full day trip around Battambang and having Pao there to tell us about the places made it amazing. Such a lovely man and keeps the trip exciting, it wouldn’t have been same experience if it was with anyone else. 5/5

Great experience!

I had a great time on the trip! Mr. Pao was very informative and funny. He not only showed us tons of interesting places all around Battambang, but he also went with us everywhere and explained the story behind them. I participated in tuk-tuk tours a few times in Cambodia, but it was the first time I got a real tour guide as a driver. ;) I ended up booking another of Pao's full-day trips with the people I've met on the trip, and once again it was very nice. I recommend it with all my heart. My favourite places were the bat cave, the banana and rice paper "factories" (little houses in local villages) and the lake.

Amazing tour with the best guide!

My mom, sister and I were only visiting Battambang for 1 day, but Pov made sure it was an unforgettable trip! He’s humble, smart, has a sense of humor and genuinely a great person. First we went to the bamboo train, then we went to the bat caves for the sunset and he took us to the secret spot, and we ended our trip by taking a Jeep to the top of the mountain and seeing the pagodas and killing cave. He came with us to see everything (except bamboo train) and gave us a crash course on everything we saw. Seeing is one thing, but learning is another! We saw a beautiful sunset... the photos speak for themselves! If you’re planning a trip, let Pov show you how beautiful Battambang is!!

Tour to the lake and the rice fields

The tours we did with Pao have been amazing and definitely worth it. Pao really loves to tell Tourist a lot about Cambodia, the history, the culture and the language. He showed us many beautiful places around Battambang that are not so crowded. It was really a unique experience. Definitely one of the best trips we did on our holiday.

Fantastic tour with Mr. Pov

We had two amazing trips with Mr. Pov during our stay in Battambang. The first day he picked us up in the hotel and took us to the bamboo train. Later on he brought us to the bat caves and explained us a lot about Cambodian history. Because of visiting the killing cave he explained a lot about the Khmer rouge and their influence in Cambodia. He showed us an amazing spot for sunset and even clined with us on the mountain and gave us information about the millions of bat's which fly out of the cave every evening. On the way home he put out the music box and showed us local music and also wants to know music from our home. The day was so great that we directly booked him for the next day to get to the lotus lake. On the way there we stopped to try local fruits or crickets or other food. He told us a few words in Khmer language and was also very interested in our daily life.... All in all it was an amazing trip. He was more then only a guide. He was super friendly, a good teacher and we laughed a lot. I can only recommend him.

Incredible experience

He personalized the tour for me. He often stopped on the side of the road to show me things (fruits, rice...) that I didn’t know. Very educational and interesting. An unforgettable experience. One of the best tours and tour guides I have ever taken. Highly highly recommend.

Amazing experience

We spent one day tour with Pao that included all the main attractions, it was a great experience! He took us around the city and around the country side in order to observe the traditional activities! You can try to cut banana with local people and observe the process to make rice paper, dried banana or rice wine! Pao is friendly, funny and makes you feel at home! Highly recommended if you want to live like a local for one day!

Book your tour with Pao!

Pao picked us up with the free pickup service for our hostel (unpaid for him!), and advertised his Bamboo train/ bat cave tuk tuk tour to us. We text him later that evening to book the tour and didn’t look back! Pao was good fun for our trip and gave us some really interesting history about Battambang/ the Khmer rouge and Cambodia and shared a beer with us at the end of the day. Great guy, book your tour with him!

Lovely day

We did the half day trip with Pao around Battambang, including the Bamboo Train, Ancient House, Killing Cave and sunset watching the bats. We loved the day, Pao was funny, very helpful and had great English. He explained everywhere we went and showed us a better spot to watch the bats. Can’t fault his service and positive attitude! Thoroughly recommend to anyone.

highly recommended

We booked through our hotel a half day tour with Pao as our driver and we were very happy about, coz he was on time and welcomed as with a very lovely smile and we felt immediately comfortable. He took us to the Bamboo train and the Bat's Cave and explained a lot about the history and other helpful facts about the area. He speaks very well english and is such a nice guy. I would recommend him to anybody who visits Battambang. Thx buddy!

Best guide we have ever had

We ordered a tuk tuk from our hotel and we were provided with Pao. This was the best thing that could have happened to us in Battambang. He has amazing knowledge of Battambang and is very passionate about it. His English is also excellent. Took us to the Bamboo rail then to the bat cave. Once we got to the bat cave, he too us up to the killing cave and explained in a lot of detail about the what's, whys and how's of it all. There is no audio guide there so without him we would have missed 99% of what was there. He then took us to the other side of the mountain to see the sunset and the bats come out. The view was absolutely amazing. The only negative we had was that the hotel didn't give us enough time with him! Absolutely recommended using him to anyway who is going to Battambang

Would reccomend

You have 2 kinds of "authentic" The fake one where everybody puts up a show for you.. And the real stuff. The kind of authentic where you can see, feel, smell and experience the country. Pao gives you the second one! We had 2 fun days where we saw every side of Battambang. Batcave, bambootrain (a little bit too touristic but fun anyways), ricewine, temples.. But also a 10min stop in the local garage to fix a flat tire. Or another 10min stop in another garage for another flat tire. So we had the chance to talk to Pao and learn something more about the Cambodian way. If you come to Battambang, Pao is certainly adding value to your stay!

Perfect day thanks to Mr Pov !

We had a wonderful day and visit of Battambang with Pao or Mr Pov. He came pick us right on time and we visited the Bamboo train (lots of fun!), the Banan temple and the Sempov temple/killing caves where we saw thousands of bats. We saw Cambodia’s country side and we really loved the scenery. Mr Pov was very knowledgeable, friendly and a great driver. We had a very fun day thanks to him! And of course thanks to Cambodia :) we can warmly recommend Mr Pov, thank you so much!

Mr Pov the best tuk tuk driver

We had a full day tour with mr pov at Battambang and we had a great time with him. He chats everything with us and told us so many history about his country. He even brought us to visit the sunset at a small hill where none of the tuk tuk driver ever know the place. He brought us to many different places like the small villages and hanging bridge. It was a superb experience with him and he made our trip in Battambang with wonderful memories anot this place. If we ever visit this place again, we will definitely look for mr pov again !

Excellent!

We had a really great experience with Mr. Pov on the tuk tuk tour around Battambang! Perfect English so it was very easy to communicate. Mr. Pov taught us a lot about the history of Cambodia, especially when we went to the old bamboo train. An experience we'll never forget and we really enjoyed his company :) definitely 5 stars

Best option to visit Battambang

We arrived in Battambang and were doubting to hire a motorbike or a tuktuk to discover Battambang. When we arrived in our Lucky Hostel Mr Pov introduced himself and his tour without being intrusive. That evening we texted him for tour information. He was very flexibel to add things to the tour. We visited the lotus farm, crocodil farm (they produce crocodils to make handbags and you pay 2$ each so think about it if you want to support it or not because we didn’t knew), fishing village, bamboo train (nice experience!!),winery, fruit bats, banana hill, bat cave and killing cave and we had a typical Khmer lunch and to end the day we watched the sunset. His English is very good and he gives a lot of interesting information plus he is a very responsible driver! After all visiting Battambang with this guide was a wonderful experience we had never found the places we visited our selfs!

Mr.Pov the man to know in Battambang

Pao is an awesome tour guide, he took us to see the famous bat caves and temples, along the way we spoke with him and learned so much about Cambodian culture, history and his hopes for their industry and tourism, he is so humble and kind and simply willing to talk about anything. We enjoyed the tour it was one of the best things we did in Cambodia. We invited Pao to have lunch with us the next day and spoke more with him at our hostel, an unforgettable experience, thank you!

Great guide

We spent the day with mr Pao ! He is so much more than a tuctuc driver : a real guide who explained everything to us is detail. We really enjoyed our day in Battambang with him (the small tour and the bay cave are great !) thankyou

Amazing tour

I made a amazing tour in the countryside with Pao. I went several time in Battambang but he's the only one who made me discover exceptionnal wild places and people. Thank you so much Pao !

Best tour in Battambang!

My friend and I met Mr. Pov at a bus stop in Battambang and we were immediately impressed by his level of English and passion. We signed up for his day tour around Battambang and were not disappointed! Mr. Pov is a wonderful guy who will show you all the best spots in the great city of Battambang. It's really not possible to walk to most of the cool places in Battambang, so it's a good idea to find a trustworthy tuk-tuk -- look no further than Mr. Pov!!

Super friendly and cosy tour guide!

I had a very good experience with Mr Pov. He showed us around Battambang and really did his best to give us the best experience. Besides the classic touristic tour, he also showed us some original places like a tree full of bats and he shared with us a local dish. We had a great time. Thank you, Mr Pov!

Un tour parfait !

Tour à faire absolument ! Pao est un guide génial, il est à l’écoute, très bienveillant, il parle bien anglais et explique beaucoup de choses sur l’histoire de son pays. Il vous fait découvrir la campagne de Battambang et vous pouvez en apprendre + sur le quotidien des locaux dans les villages. J’ai adoré ce tour, l’une des meilleures expériences au Cambodge !

Excellent guide

Merci à notre cher guide pour cette journée. Il a été un très bon guide. Très aimable, bienveillant et à l’écoute de nos demande. Je recommande à 100%

Great tour around Battambang

Great tour around Battambang with the funny guide Pao and his tuk tuk. He told us a lot about the lives of the locals, stopped at a school and explained to us the signs and plants along the way. I did the morning & afternoon tour. We visited the rice liquor production and tasted fresh spring rolls and sticky rice in a bamboo tube. When I had an accident, he took good care of me and we were able to continue the tour to the Bamboo Train, Wine Tasting, Bat Cave and Killing Cave.
