Our guide Samol was great. He is very knowledgeable about Battambang and Cambodia and was able to communicate his knowledge very well. The tour was planned and executed masterfully and we visited all of the different stops with enough time for each one and without it ever feeling rushed. This tour is the best way to experience Battambang.
