    We had excellent pre-arrival communication and driver Herry was
    at our hotel at 7am for pick up. He was pleasant, safe driver and very responsive to our needs.
    Prepare for a long day. About 3 hours drive each way plus more if traffic is bad. First quick stop was the waterfall. Nice but not super impressive. Then our driver suggested we spend RM10 on snacks for the kids in a local indigenous village. This was a great stop and the kids were super appreciative.
    Cameron valley tea stop was busy but worth it. Purchase a ticket for the transport down into the valley. Good photos and nice to sit and have a cup of tea there.
    Next stop was lunch in the main town. Then we hit major traffic issues and were stuck so we abandoned going any further and headed back to KL. We stopped at a strawberry and bee farm on the way. It wasn’t great.
    So the summary is that we spent a lot of time in the car ( about 7 hours) and the driver was great but there’s just not really enough to see and do on this tour to make it worth the very long drive.

    This was an amazing trip, our guide Mr Segar was very knowledgeable and personable.

    I am vegetarian and he made so much effort to make sure I had something to eat. We didn't realise our meals were included, so that was a bonus!

    We were picked up from our hotel on time.

    Unfortunately I had fallen over the day before, which was our first day in the city and my other half is not good with heights, but we both managed to climb all those steps... to say it was tiring was is an understatement, but well worth the effort.

    Deer Land was not to my liking at all I'm afraid, I just had the urge to set all the animals free.

    The elephant sanctuary was a great experience, it was so lovely to see and be able to feed them. We paid extra for a personal guide, so we got to know a lot about the work they do.

    The fireflies was a lovely experience too, so peaceful, although constantly worried about the mosquitoes.

    We had a fabulous experience on the tour. Our driver Mr Maran was friendly, knowledgeable and very proud of KL. He gave us stories and facts along the way. Stopping off at different places along the way, we were encouraged to feed the monkeys. They were more friendly than I have seen in other places. A real delight. The fireflies was definitely a highlight, but the unexpected stop on the way home with the stories told made my evening.

    My friend and I did this tour during our stay in KL. Our personal guide for the day was Mr. Lawrence. He’s such a funny smart guide who made our day an absolute blast. He’s an easy going person and is willing to adjust the tour to your needs. Even though the itinerary is filled with interesting landmarks definitely worth visiting, I would say the highlight of our day was a lunch visit to a local Indian restaurant where you get to eat the food with your bare hands.

    The tour is much more than the fireflies! Rajah our guide pick us up on time, he truly made the difference: he brings such positive energy that made us feel comfortable since the start and made us laugh, while he was sharing interesting facts about life in Malesia and KL The tour included the visit of a Hindu temple. To pay apart there’s also the opportunity to see the sea eagles and the luminescent plancton - which make sense to do… also watch the birds at the sunset (close to the restaurant) - really beautiful to watch them while they gather for the night on trees .
    Finally, 10 days later we bumped into Rajah in Chinatown KL and again he spread joy, advices and positiveness! 🔝

    Booked this up months in advance not realising it was Malaysia National Day.
    Pickup as bang on time however traffic was much busier than usual which meant a little rearranging (elephants first then Batu).
    Elephants were good, paying for the up-close session. Amazing to get so close to these creatures. The sanctuary guide was excellent, loads of info and knowledgable.
    Kids enjoyed and bring it up nowadays - result!
    Food was decent and water provided - it was hit but that’s no surprise.

    Batu caves next and despite time advancing, had an hour to walk around. It was busy but again being National day, not a surprise.

    Chatting on way back to accommodation we got some good advice on shopping locations - local knowledge!

    Overall a good trip.

    Tour was amazing packed so much in to one day. Our tour guide was very considerate of what we wanted and altered the tour to suit our needs, really went over and beyond! Rajan, our tour guide, always went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience. Great knowledge, photography skills and a lovely warm, friendly man who made us feel safe due to his relationships with the locals and the aborigines also. Would highly recommend this as a tour, we’ll definitely be going through this company again for any future tours in the area.

    We really enjoyed the trip to the rainforest! The communication with our driver Karthi was super easy, the drive itself convenient. He told us a lot about Malaysia and the nature. Very cool Guy!
    The Aktivities were well planned and interesting.
    The only negative thing was the very long lunch break and the food.

    The guide was fantastic. The tour of the Batu Caves, the dinner and the Fireflies boat ride is a great tour. The fireflies are a must see. The company was very helpful and responsive to all requests. I highly recommend this tour company and this tour!

    We had a great day out with our driver Laurence, he knew loads about KL and Malaysia and we covered so much in the day. Definitely recommended if you have limited time in KL as it fits so much in.

    It was just unbelievable and amazing experience for me and my wife. We hiked through the rainforest, enjoyed by the nature and scenic views. The waterfall was spectacular as well. The only thing I would suggest - be ready for raining. Just because it’s Malaysia, and it’s a RAINforest. I recommend this tour, and Chen personally, - all was just fabulous and 11 of 10 (despite we were completely wet on the way back).

    My friend and I signed up for this tour and we had a really great day. LG was our driver and he was super nice and super friendly. He modified the itinerary so that we didn't go to places that we weren't interested in. On the way back to KL, he took us to a few different locations that we had not seen yet, which was really nice since they weren't even on the itinerary. I would definitely recommend this tour because we had a very full day but it did not feel rushed or boring.
