Peggy was our guide, she was very enthusiastic and informative and taught us lots about different cultures in Malaysia. She took us to various temples and to the jetties and because we had the time she showed us the street art. Seeing the orangutans was something special, the whole experience was definitely worth the money.
Great tour

This was a fabulous tour. Chris stayed in great contact prior to the tour regarding pick up location for the ship. We had a wonderful time at the orangutan sanctuary. The rest of the tour was also very interesting and we saw all the places we wanted to see. Chris was very knowledgeable and a nice person to spend the day with. We were delivered back to the port on time.
Amazing tour and tour guide!

Peggy was so fun! She was well prepared to make sure that we had the best experience possible! We really enjoyed our tour with her and so appreciated the extra touches—she made sure we always had plenty to drink, brought treats for us to feed the orangutans, carried our bags during shopping, took photos and then sent them to us, etc. We would highly recommend Peggy! Thank you for the wonderful tour, Peggy!!!
