Amazing experience in the Battambang area. Our tour guide Samol picked us up by tuktuk at our hotel, then we visited the city and he told us everything we needed to know about Battambang. After a very good lunch in a local restaurant in the countryside, we went for the first attraction, a ride on the bamboo train: it was really funny! Then Samol drove us to the Phnom Sampov hills, stopping along the way to show us a wonderful lotus flowers field. When in Phnom Sampov, we visited the buddish temple, surrounded by nice little monkeys, and the Killing caves. Samol explained us everything about this terrible part of the Cambodian history. At the end, right after the sunset, another incredible show with millions of bats flying out their cave, really unbelievable.
The overall experience was really amazing: the enthusiasm, the knowledge and the kindness of our tour guide Samol made everything even more special (he entertained us with a few card tricks too!). Highly recommended!
