Our driver brought us safe and interesting information to each destination. Punctual, friendly, humorous, clean & comfortable car. We booked this travel style for the first time and enjoyed it very much.

    Malaysia is fantastic! As I always consult Trip Advisor travelers, today I will try to help them on their trips to these places. I am a mature traveler, who travels cheap, backpacking and who likes to discover cultures and beaches. I started my trip, with a friend from Argentina, Adedis Ababa, Dubai, Singapore and Malaysia. We crossed from Singapore by bus to Malacca (or Melaka). World Heritage City, we stayed there for 2 days to visit the historic center, watch the sunset at the mosque over the Strait of Malacca and also drink beer or coffee on the river bank or try the exquisite “coconut milk shake”. From there, we went by bus to Kuala Lumpur (3 days) this allows you to see the Petronas towers which are impressive!, River bank, old market, Petaling street, Chinatown and visit the Batu Caves. From there by bus to Georgetown (2 days) to see the beautiful street art, try the best cuisine in Malaysia and visit Chinatown and its “Jetys” water houses. From there we travel to Langkawi, (2 days) on the beach main They have dinner, at this time there are no people. We stayed in bungalows, 5 blocks from the beach. Very good. We took the excursion to the mangrove with kayak included which was very good, especially for those who like sports and wildlife. From there, we went to the Perhentian Islands (3 nights) spectacular! The beaches are on par with Thailand, with many islands and beaches to visit (see sharks, turtles, corals, etc.). Anyway... Super recommended and good prices! Greetings Gladys

  • Good itinerary but poor facilities and services

    While you get to see quite a bit of Malaysia, the tour could have booked better hotels, given the relatively high price charged and low costs of hotels in Malaysia. The person accompanying the tour is really a driver, knowing not much about the areas, who didn't do that much in the tour. The driver, without prior notice, came to our hotel at least 30 minutes earlier. Also it was not clear whether which meals are included in the tour. Also the communication with the tour operator is frustrating, since their reply needs much follow up and often late. If all these are improved, this could be a great tour.

    Our guide Arif was great. Very patient with our requests. An expert in all things Malay. He knew his history and current knowledge of each of the cities we visited. He was very personable and a very good driver. The tour however was a little disappointing Melacca was not that interesting and the hotel a little tired. Apparently it’s about to be renovated KL was good and the things we visited interesting. The pewter factory was the most interesting . Cameron Highlands itself was not great as they have destroyed it with construction and greenhouses. Our hotel Strawberry Park was really quite nice but could also use a facelift. Penang was our last stop. Our tour was interesting thanks to Arif. All in all the guide made the trip better than the trip itself. Thanks Arif.
