Travel by private air-conditioned vehicle from Siem Reap to Battambang with guide Lucky. Visit the Black Man Statue, killing sites, Peace Gallery, Bamboo Train, Phnom Sampov, and Bat Cave, then return to Siem Reap or continue to Phnom Penh.

“This was an amazing day with Lucky. I am a female solo traveller, I was slightly anxious about booking but there is absolutely nothing to be concerned about. This was a private tour and Lucky had ensured the day is completely filled with various places to visit. He is knowledgeable and his English is great. The vehicle is extremely comfortable and you are able to keep your device's topped up as believe me you will take so many pictures and videos. Highly recommend whether you are a group or solo.”
