• 5Fantastic experience

  We had a great day with Mr Lychee touring around Battambang. We were able to adjust the tour to suit our family. Mr Lychee was a good and considerate driver, knowledgeable, and friendly. He explained where we were going, and gave us some background information once we were there. We have no hesitation in recommending his tours.

• 5Experience the real Cambodia

  I had a wonderful day exploring Battambang with Sambol. From the start, he was genuine, knowledgeable, and full of passion and energy. The tour was perfectly planned — we visited local workshops and beautiful countryside. The bamboo train ride was great fun, and the Killing Caves were deeply moving. Sambol shared fascinating insights into Cambodia’s past and present, making every stop meaningful. His authenticity and enthusiasm made the day truly special — it felt like exploring Battambang with a local who loves and understands his country deeply. I can highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the real Cambodia.

• 5Couples day tour

  Mr Lychee, was a great tour guide. He explained the stops tonus thoroughly and did not rush us at all. His driving was smooth and comfortable. Just bring a peg for your nose when you're at the fish cheese market!

• 5Excellent service & value-for-money

  Mr. Polo, sent by Mr. Lychee, speaks good English and has extensive knowledge about Battambang, local culture, food, flora, and fauna. The tour on the whole, was eye-opening, value for money, and very enjoyable. Besides the tour, you get a good workout walking up and down the killing caves. Being history buffs, we should have asked Mr. Polo to accompany us up to the killing caves so that he could provide more detailed explanation. Overall, it was an excellent tour.

About Battambang

Battambang is a quiet riverside city in north-west Cambodia, with French colonial streets, hill temples, a circus school and a wide rice plain.

Battambang lies on the Sangkae River in the middle of Cambodia's main rice-growing plain, and its French colonial shophouses, many of them faded and weathered, still line the streets near the water. The covered market anchors the old town, and a short walk leads to art galleries and cafés. Phare Ponleu Selpak, an arts school, stages circus shows that tell Cambodian stories.
