Traveling in a group lowers the rate, and it is always a good choice. You can also search Trip Advisor for the English speaking driver. The majority of tuk-tuk tours are simple sightseeing combined with the local attractions and highlights, such as Bamboo train ride,

Bamboo train ride is a top thing to do in Battambang
Bamboo Train is a must-do in Battambang, and you do not want to miss it. It used to serve as the transportation of people to local villages but now its main purpose is to offer a fun ride to travelers. The round trip lasts 45 minutes, and it has one stopover for buying some souvenirs and taking a look at the brick factory. In the case of encountering another train, one has to be moved off the track. It is a hard work for the driver, and he deserves his tip.
Prices: 10 USD for the single traveler; 5 USD per person for groups, and 1 USD for the driver’s tip at the end of the route.
Checking out the Killing cave and Bat cave is a must things to do in Battambang
The mountain Phnom Sampeou is located around 11 kilometers or 45 minutes of the tuk-tuk ride from the city. If you will, you can take a walk to reach the top of the mountain or you can hire a motorbike taxi.
The round trip costs 3 USD. During this trip, you will see the historic spot from the time of the Khmer Rouge regime – killing caves, where over 3000 people were killed and thrown into the cave. Since there is no sign, you better go with the tuk-tuk driver who will also be your guide. You will notice the shire that honors the people who lost their lives. At any cost, do not walk down the cave. Steps are steep and it is easy to fall down the cave.
As you keep walking up to the top of the mountain, you will be able to take breathtaking photos of the lush green forest. The Buddhist temple is a wonderful structure on the top. From here, you can enjoy the awesome panorama view of Battambang. The local monk raises a monkey, and you will see this lovely creature too.
The next stop on this trip is the Bat Cave at the foot of the mountain. It lasts around 10 minutes to walk down there. Bats usually leave the cave in a steady stream and fly out for the hunt at 17:00. This is an amazing happening to see, and it takes around 40 minutes for all the bats to leave the cave. Nobody knows the exact number of bats but it is estimated between tens of thousands and one million. After they have left, they are still visible in various formations from the main road.
Entrance Fee: 3 USD per ticket

To get down the hill, follow the trail on the south side. Bat cave with skylight ceiling makes this place more popular. Locals are coming here on a picnic or to pray for good health, safety and happiness for themselves and their beloved ones.
Note: Hiking up to the top, you will meet children asking you to give something to them or simply for some money.
Ek Phnom Temple was built in the 11th century, and since then it partially collapsed. It is about 45 minutes from the center of Battambang.

Where to go after Battambang?
Siem Reap : It takes 3-hours by bus or 6 hours by boat. This is a must-see place for your trip to Cambodia. It’s awesome to explore the world heritage site of Angkor Wat and take a leisurely boat ride on Tonlesap
Sihanoukville: It usually takes 8 hours by bus but there is no sleeping bus available. This is a beach gateway trip to soak up in the cool water, entertain yourself in the bars and pubs. To me, it is a true heaven for backpacking travellers.
Phnom Penh: It takes 6 to 7 hours by bus. Known as the capital city of Cambodia which you can see lots of historical sites and cultural attractions with a numerous of temples, museums and the Royal Palace
