Things to do in  Malaysia

Fantastic Tour with Joelle our expert guide....Cannot praise him enough...His knowledge of Batu Caves and all things Malaysian were really interesting but when we went to the Falls he was great with the wild monkeys,they seemed to recognise him and his food bag...10/10 Day Out

A well-organised tour with a very knowledgeable guide. A great way to see the real Malaysia and meet people other than fellow tourists. As there was so much to see and take in, it could be rather tiring, but worth it.

Great trip, Great hotels, Great food, Great company, GREAT GUIDE Highly recommended to anyone wanting to see Malaysia

We were lucky as we were the only two booked on the Tour that day! Guide was quite knowledgeable and it was quite relaxed as we were able to tour at our own pace rather than be confined to a bigger group re time commitments. Lunch was quite nice too. The shopping at the end is a little 'touristy' but it was great to see another part of Malaysia.

This tour was fantastic! Our guide was very professional and extremely funny. Spoke perfect English and was a wealth of information on the local area as well as Malaysia. The lunch was beautiful and my only regret is that we weren't in Malaysia longer to go on more tours.

It was great tour, our driver Tina was the best driver/tour guide which I ever met. He told us so a lot of interesting information about Malaysia. His driving abilities was very professional and it was very good car with air condition. Driver always was very polite and was ready to make a stop at any time if necessary. He arrived to our hotel 10 minutes before our tour start. Cameron Highlands with it's tea plantations was super great. We were very happy with this tour, recommend to any who is interested to see nice nature of Malaysia and learn a lot of things about it's culture and people.

Wow what an experience visiting the Cameron Highlands with Jais. The tour was great right from when Jais picked us up he was very accomodating and informative for the entire tour. The tour takes you into the Cameron Highlands of Malaysia. We visited some of the countries most well known and scenic tea plantations. Jais was able to explain the tea making process from the production of tea leaves until it reaches the consumer. The views across the tea plantations are breath taking you will not stop taking photos. We also did a side trip up to the magnificent Mossy Forest. This is a rain forest that is approximately 2000mtrs high in elevation. Here a private guide will explain the native flora and how it adapts to the climate. The walk through Mossy Forest is something not to be missed. The tour also takes you to a local market where you can meet local residents selling fruits, vegetables, souvenirs and much more. The tour also includes a visit with the local Orang Asli indigenous tribe and a final stop at the beautiful Late Escanola waterfall. Jais is a great tour guide and is very accomodating I would highly recommend a tour with him.

Guide picked us up at hotel on time, drove to several sites for quick stops on the way (palace, natural hot springs, pick up peanuts for the monkeys), then we walked to where hundreds of monkeys were waiting for food. He encouraged me to offer peanuts from my hand, which I hesitantly did, and they were adorable to watch up close as they used their little fingers to pick up one peanut at a time and eat!Then we drove to a seafood restaurant where he ordered a special meal for each of us, based on our preferences. I am vegan and had a great meal! Then we drove to a boat where we hopped right in and saw the fireflies! No waiting anywhere. He even backtracked to where we had been because I lost my earring and he was hoping we would find it, During the drive, he spoke about the history and government and life in Malaysia, so no time was wasted on this personalized tour.

We had a fabulous day tour to the highlands and the Batu caves with our guide Ram. Ram was very helpful all day and very knowledgable on Malaysia and the highlands. It was a holiday when we were on our tour but although the traffic was heavy, we were still able to see everything and enjoyed a trip greatly. Certainly this was attibuted to our guide. We went to the Batu Caves nice and early and missed all the monkeys and the crowds, then on to the highlands to see the waterfall, tea plantations, strawberry picking, butterfly and insect gardens and cactus garden. A lovely lunch during the day was provided also. A top tour to see the area and you get to see alot in a day.

Amazing, the best part of our trip to Malaysia. But be careful of the walkway bridge, there is a section with a ladder. It takes patience and calm to walk on. There is an option to avoid the bridge. The boat ride is amazing. Make sure you take a change of clothes and make sure you change, you will fall ill otherwise. The Batu caves are amazing, but maybe do that on the way back.

This Private tour was fantastic! Our tour guide Paul drove an extra 30-40 minutes out of Kuala Lumpur to BukkitTingy to pick us up. He had great knowledge of the history of Malaysia and each site that we visited. The Batu caves were amazing and the waterfalls refreshing once we got to the top! It was fun to see monkeys everywhere along the way. Paul took us to a little chinese village for lunch on the way home. He selected a few local dishes for us to try - they were so delicious! We would have never though to try these meals if Paul did not take us there. The private car made the whole journey more personal and relaxing, we could go at our own pace Book this tour if you are going to KL - you will enjoy it!

This tour was TOP. Highly recommended. Hafiz, our tour guide was great and friendly and very helpful and knowledgeable of what he was telling. Everything that was on the itirenary was followed. That is why it was really worth every penny spent and paid on this tour. He speaks English well. He even gave us consideration and time in some places. He really went to that extra mile so that we, his guest will really have a good time with our tour. The Best tour in Malaysia. Two thumbs up for Mr. Hafiz, great guide :

Our driver/guide RIDZUAN arrived at the hotel on time and told us that he is not a liscened guide but a driver! Well we learned that he is a driver who knows Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia better than many tour guides we had at other places. First he told us, what we could visit and see and we decided which places to visit and he was very flexible und adapted whenever we got new questions and ideas. Just perfect. Lunch is included and we are vegeterian so he found us nice small vegeterian chinese restaurant - great. We could also ask him about a great variety of questions about Malaysian customs etc. and he really knows a lot about his country. Thank you Ridzuan we did enjoy our day.

We were surprised to be picked up by a car and driver when we had expected a bus. He was on time and could speak very good English. During the drive, Neson explained the history of Malaysia, the changes that have taken place and gave an insight into everyday life. He was well informed and entertaining. On arrival at Malacca, we had two hours to explore on our own. Our guide suggested doing a boat trip down the river which we were very pleased we chose to do and would reccomend that to others as it was interesting and gave a different perspective to the town. After that we spent some time in Jonker Street before going for lunch. An enjoyable day out from the city.

Our tour driver was nice, and we shared a coach with another couple. It was raining cats and dogs on the way, so unlike other reviewers have commented, we couldn't unfortunately make any unplanned stops. We were hoping for a stop at the Batu caves, but the driver took an entirely different route. Took roughly two hours to get there. You get a good view of the Malaysian country side on the way there. Endless swaths of palm plantations! Almost scary. You also get to see some typical country side houses and buildings. The Kota Melawati stop was quite amusing. Hordes of monkeys jumping onto tourists and generally goofing around. There are vendors selling bundles of beans for 1 RM that you can feed to the monkeys. We spent about an hour there, and had good laughs. The seafood stop at the fishing village is underwhelming. The river was muddy, and the village was a little filthy. The restaurant itself is a large shack like barn, and the food is mediocre. Also, they serve you one platter that you share with others in your group. Nothing like the romanticised description here on Viator. Now, the highlight of the trip was of course the fireflies of Kuala Selangor. Thousands of fireflies flashing in beautiful synchrony across long stretches of mangroves. It was like a long row of Christmas trees. The little boat took us along the mangroves and even stopped for a bit underneath the illuminated trees. We spent a good 30 mins on the river soaking it all in. Overall, the fireflies are an amazing sight. The monkeys at Kota Melawati are fun, but the dinner at the fishing village is very underwhelming.

If one accepts the one and a half hour drive, you should definitely visit Malacca. The city is situated approximately 150km southeast of Kuala Lumpur. and at the infamous Malacca shipping route between Indonesia and Malaysia. On the way there kilometers of plantations of Kokusplamen that were angepllanz for oil extraction. Palm trees as far as the eye can see. Unfortunately, this was the rainforest lost, which is abschnoittsweise but still visible. A well-developed highway leads you then to since the 15th century has been from China, Portugal, the Netherlands and England last this city are the many attractions nachhaltig.Viele buildings, churches and street quarters to see in a good condition. A good trip with expert guidance, unfortunately to be too short to meet this town. The only thing that had annoyed me is that this tour to book through the Viator booking site I enter 2 people, because when a person this trip has been rejected. I had booked, but found in the trip that would have been found at about 16 persons who travel in any case take place. I previously interviewed even one day from the Malaysian agency, but did not respond. That's wrong, why one tries to achieve this higher price and that only in exceptional cases. I'm pissed off. Tour ok, the other thing borders on fraud!!!!!!!

Really enjoyed this tour. Our guide was very nice and very knowledgeable on the history of Malaysia and Melaka and we learnt a lot on the way to Melaka. The town itself was very nice and it was nice to see something very different from Kuala Lumpur. The lunch included was quite nice too. There is quite a bit of driving involved in order to reach the town so I would not recommend doing it with small children. But as our guide was very interesting we did not have time to get bored on the way. I would definitely recommend a Melaka tour if you are interested in history and if you want a change from KL.
