Cancelled less than an hour before the tour began. I was already in the Lobby waiting. By chance, I checked my email, otherwise I would have stood there for another 45 minutes. I won’t even be able to reschedule, as I leave KL in 2 days. A bit bummed as I was really looking forward to this tour.
Start time was 8.00am, the bus was on time and the guide called to check if we were ready 15 minutes before pickup. Nelson was our guide for the tour. He is well versed on the sights and scenes of the destination. History to the max from yr 1500 & 1600, s during our sightseeing walk around. Lunch was a variety of cuisines to reflect the heritage of the region. Nelson remained calm whilst dealing with a couple who were 1/2hr late, after they decided to get on another bus with their friends. After lunch a walk up Jonker street for 45 min then our bus trip home to KL
