5.00The private tour was great. Iman and Vicky took care of us all day long. They made the whole experience worry free. They showed us all of the listed attractions and made the whole experience so much more efficient than a group tour. If you are short on time and want to travel in comfort, this is the way to go.
Must do day trip!

5.00I had limited time in Singapore but wanted to see Kuala Lumpur and found this day trip. It exceeded expectations! There were multiple stops with fantastic sites and the guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. He explained a lot of the history of all the cities and important sites and was an excellent photographer (taught me a few iPhone tricks for pics!). This well exceeded expectations and was a wonderful taste of Malaysia.
Great tour of KL and Malaka

5.00This was an outstanding and well organized tour. All of the stops on the itinerary were well worth it and we traveled with ease. Border crossing was expertly coordinated and no issues at all. The highlight of the tour were Melaka (Malacca) and the Batu Caves. Both were places I didn’t even knew existed and was blown away by the charm and colors of both of these places. On top of the amazing experiences, the guide and driver were amazing. If you are looking for a way to see a bit of Malaysia in a short period of time, this tour is your best bet.
LONG Day! Worth the trip, but be prepared.

4.00Be prepared to commit about 19-20 hours to this day tour! Our driver picked us up at 4:45am (scheduled at 5am pickup, but he was prompt and early). The morning border crossing at Woodlands was smooth and took less than 15 minutes to get through. We picked up our guide after the Malaysia crossing, then made our way to Malacca for breakfast and then started our walking tour nearby. Next was a drive over to Putrajaya to visit the pink Mosque-though when we arrived they wouldn’t let us in because they were preparing for prayer. We were bummed because that was something we were looking forward to seeing inside. Our journey continued with a 2 hour drive to Kuala Lumpur…we stopped along the way for a toilet break at a gas station….Ladies (Americans especially) be prepared—some of the toilets in Malaysia are holes in the ground, so if you aren’t keen on that…make sure you ask your guide first. My mom had a difficult time with it and it’s something that she’ll never forget. Also, bring hand sanitizer and pocket tissues, as toilet paper isn’t always supplied in WC. Kuala Lumpur is crazy busy, it seems dirty and cars just pile up on the road without any regard to actual lanes-so if you get car sick and/or get anxiety with fast and chaotic driving, this isn’t the tour for you. Finally, Batu Caves…the steps are steep (but doable), there are wild macaque monkeys everywhere so keep valuables and food secure! I saw a couple of tourists get their juice boxes and food snatched right out of their hands while walking up the steps. I also didn’t notice any toilets here, but I imagine they wouldn’t be the cleanest considering how crowded and dirty the place is, just FYI. Also, we did our trip on a Friday…do yourself a favor and don’t do that. Friday has the worst traffic according to locals and heading back to Singapore was a complete traffic nightmare. We literally were in traffic for several HOURS! We did not get back to our hotel until 12:00am Midnight!! Now, the traffic and toilet situation were just unfortunate circumstances. And were in no way things that could be avoided. Our driver Chris was excellent. He drives a little fast, but he is safe and got us everywhere as quickly as he could, and the vehicle was comfortable. Shaun was our guide and he’s only been running these tours for 2 weeks, but he did a great job under the conditions. He taught us a lot, had an iPad with images that he could explain things prior to us visiting a place or monument. He had water for us, even paid for toilets when we had to go randomly. Overall I’m happy we did the tour, but for those of you on the fence about booking-I hope my disclosures will help you make the right choice.
Strongly recommend it

5.00Everything was smooth, definitely worth sacrificing one day in Singapore to see Malaysia in one day. We've seen quite a lot during the day, strongly recommend it.
