We created Battambang’s Food Traditions as an open invitation into the heart of Cambodian hospitality. Food is the lens through which we understand history, and the kitchen is where a community’s truest stories are told.
On this journey, you will not just try the food on the table—you will meet market masters and grandmothers, hearing the personal histories behind Cambodia's most resilient recipes. Through shared dishes, meaningful conversations, and deep cultural insights, you will discover that the most memorable flavor in Cambodia is the warmth of its people.

Most heart-opening experience of Cambodia

5.00Skual Tour's Simony and Sophara are two highly motivated young entrepreneurs with a radiant vision for tourism in Cambodia. I met them while teaching at the Buddhist University at Battambang, whereupon I was inspired to join their small bespoke tour of the city, visiting local artisan workshops, scaling temple ruins and tasting home-cooked cuisines. With Skual Tours, you experience the real beating heart of Battambang. Simony and his team work tirelessly to create an ecosystem of mutually benefical relationships with local communities. You see it in the shiny eyes of their guides, the families you visit, the people you meet in their tours - they say, "This is the way we want you to experience and enjoy our country, our culture." When you support Skual Tours, you support the people of Cambodia.
Authentic Cambodia at Its Best!

5.00Sopheara made for the perfect tour guide showing us around the local area. She came well prepared and did an excellent job at keeping everyone engaged as we broke down the steps of how rice is farmed. No questions were left unanswered making our time spent in Battambang a great learning experience. Thank you Sopheara!
One of the most real experiences we had in Battambang

5.00I did a walking tour in Battambang with a local guide who’s just getting started, and it was such a genuinely good experience. You can tell how much it means to him , really passionate about sharing his city and showing the real side of Battambang. The tour was interactive and relaxed, and we went to local eateries, temples, markets, and a few hidden gems I never would have found on my own. It was very interesting. What stood out most for us was the perspective. I learned about monks and their education, stories about people from Battambang, and how life here is for most locals enjoying the cultural ways of traditional business, and yet for others expanding and exploring modern changes. It gave a much deeper understanding of the place, not just what you see on the surface. Also just a really comfortable, open vibe , you feel like you can ask anything and have real conversations. It’s suitable for all fitness levels. My mum is 77 years old and was very comfortable. He’s still building up reviews, and clearly putting in the effort and really cares about what he’s doing. If you’re in Battambang and want something more personal and authentic, I’d definitely recommend it. Wishing him the best , hope it grows, he deserves it.
