Ipoh is not a very popular destination but has its unique vibe, food, Buddhism and coffee. Our driver Ramesh is super nice and well-prepared, he recommendations some local food and desserts which are truly yummy!
We fully enjoy the tour . He showed us different land mark and willing to accommodate our personal requests .
Amazing adventure to Ipoh. Mr. Ramesh has a strong value and heart warming. He respect the schedule so we went around on schedule. We will definitely use this private tour again on next trip to other places.
Very good Gaines guidance with Mr Balan Good explanation Good place By tlefrick Don’t for get to reservations with Balan person one who a very good guide
The itinerary was well planned out and allow us to go to several spots without being rushed. Our tour guide, Mr. Subra, was punctual and kind. He picked us up right on time be it from the hotel or the tourist spots. Along the way he also gave us trivias and fun facts about the spots and of Malaysia itself. Kellie's castle is great to look around and take pictures of. My only suggestion is to bring an umbrella or a fan because it's really hot. The Perak cave is unique but the stairs. Just wow. I hope you're wearing comfortable shoes. We got to try nasi campur, kaya puff, white coffee, and several other dishes. We also bought some souvenirs since the shop is right across the restaurant. All in all it's a great day trip and a great route for a tour. 👍
We had a pleasant yet beneficial tour activity Mr. Kasim was friendly, polite, helpful and resourceful We highly recommend him for a memorable tour experience
Ahmed our driver was very good, very informative and a very safe driver and the provided lunch was very good. However the tour content was very ordinary ,Kellies Castle was good, the Buddist temple was excellant, but thats about it. Another buddist temple was closed the railway station was ok, with the other hgighlight being the coffee.
The tour guide cheated on me. I he did not say anything when it comes to lunch and he made me pay for lunch and I saw him took the receipt and folded underneath the cell phone and I returned to hotel and found out lunch is included
Mr kassim is one of the best guide for us.My wife and I are very happy about the trip to ipoh.We have leaned a lot about ipoh from his guide.Many thanks.
We participated in this experience with Avalee, he was both our guide and driver and he really did a great job explaining the history of Ipoh town, the different hardships of the Malaysian people during WW1/2 and many more bits of interesting Malay history.
