About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- TravelingTwinTwo0 contributionsFabulous Day Exploring Some of KL’s sitesI booked this trip through my hotel website on the afternoon before the tour. The booking was easy. My cheerful and knowledgeable driver, Joe, was amazing. He touched base with me the night before and the day of my trip to provide info on what to bring for the day. At each stop he guided me to a starting point then gave me the freedom to explore each site. I recommend taking a towel so you can dangle your feet in the spring and also use it if you choose to wade in the water at the falls. Get ready for some steps at the falls and Batu Caves. You’ll see quite a few monkeys, too!!! Overall GREAT day!!! Ask for Joe when you book your tour.Written February 27, 2025
- joesG9770YR0 contributionsMust Take!Super fun! Our guide, Shah, was great at getting us around and took us to places we probably wouldn’t have found on our own. He was very friendly and talked/joked with us the whole time. Great tour!Written February 22, 2025
- Amanda37240 contributionsLovely part of Malaysia but problematic tour experienceThere were some issues with our tour which resulted in us missing a significant part of our itinerary. The tour was booked via "Viator", who were provided with the name of our accommodation and the full street address in Kuala Lumpur. On the day of the pickup, we arrived early at the front of our accommodation and decided to call the number provided when they were late. Thaya didn't take long to arrive after that but said he didn't have the address of our accommodation. Whether the fault lay with Viator or the tour company, we can't say, but thankfully we only set off half an hour late which was not an issue. Nonetheless, the tour commenced and we had a long and very pleasant drive to the Cameron Highlands. Our first stop was at a supermarket and food stall stop by the highway. We had half an hour to spend there. I wasn't sure why we needed so long, but thought it may have to be to provide him with adequate rest times as the driver. Safety is important. Continuing on with our journey, our driver told us he would reverse the order of the itinerary to make best use of the traffic conditions - which was fine and we appreciated him using his local knowledge. On the way to our first stop, Thaya told us the price of admission, so I had to point out that that was already included in the tour. Thankfully, a short time later, Thaya told us he had had a phone message from his boss saying that there had been a mistake and admission fees were included, after all. We were taken to some venues which were clearly family-run businesses but very run down. We were happy to support the local economy, but some of the venues were out of touch with animal standards, such as displaying a wallaby in a small cage, a duck in a small trench and peacocks in small cages. It was upsetting. When leaving the Highlands, we passed through a smarter part of town with better venues which was lovely to see. Whilst having lunch, my friends and I discussed that our tour was way behind schedule and that we would be finishing much later than stated on the tour. We brought this up with Thaya, who confirmed we would not be returning for the stated finish time. This was problematic for us, as we had a special occasion dinner booking that evening and told him so. Thaya told me I should have discussed it with him at the start of the tour, but I told him I disagreed with the need to do this, as the tour had a comprehensive itinerary listed with a specified tour finish time. We were not late because of traffic - he stated many times the traffic was very light and it was quiet in town. At the time of the discussion and after asking him about the rest of the itinerary, I would estimate we would have arrived back at our accommodation around 9pm, 6 hours later than advertised. Thaya was very keen to show us the rest of the tour. This clearly came from a place of enthusiasm and pride, but ultimately I had to be more forceful than necessary to remind him that we already had plans and would have to cut short the tour. Thaya told us that sometimes the tour finished around midnight, (9 hours after the advertised finish time). I explained to him that this could be problematic for some tourists - for example if they have a flight to catch after the tour - but he disagreed. Only other tourists can decide if this is a problem or not, depending on their individual circumstances. We cut the tour short, missing some of the itinerary my friends had been particularly keen to see. Thaya did a magnificent job in getting us back to our hotel on such a long drive and we arrived back 4 hours hours after the advertised finish time. We made it to dinner. My friends loved Thaya and there's no doubt he is passionate about his job and works very hard. I found him to be friendly, courteous and informative. Whether missing some of our tour was due to his time management, a norm in Malaysia or simply a one-off, I don't know, but I would certainly recommend having a discussion at the start of the tour around time management and the itinerary. I did find messages on my phone later in the evening asking to confirm the pick up location, so I don't dispute that he had tried to contact us prior to pick up time. Unfortunately, we had had all had some problems using "Whats App" during our stay so I didn't get them in time. It would be beneficial to other tourists to contact the company before the tour to confirm they have the address provided on the booking. I have kept my review to facts and not opinions and criticism so other travellers can decide for yourselves.Written January 21, 2025
- Timothy W0 contributionsAn enjoyable tourHad a half day tour with Mr Thaya. I really enjoyed it. Mr Thaya was punctual and picked me up from my hotel. Throughout the journey, he shared many interesting facts about KL. At each visit site, he gave me enough time to explore and shared tips on where to get the best pictures and views. Highly recommended tour guide.Written January 10, 2025

Malacca is spectacular, with many tourist attractions of great historical value. You should consider at least 2-3 days, as the 1-day tour only gives a vague idea of the city. However, our guide was very attentive and managed to give us a good idea with detailed explanations of the places we passed. Being Portuguese, we had high expectations of seeing what remains of Portugal's presence in Malacca. Unfortunately, it's down to a door in the old fort (A Famosa) and a neighbourhood outside the city where you'll find several restaurants serving dishes with a few (very few) Portuguese flavours.
Overall, it was very nice to spend the day at Malacca!

Great day started with a fantastic driver Dhevan. Extremely informative and went out of his way to discuss area. Also gave us time for ourselves as we toured around Melaka. Dhevan pointed out other sites of interest around the area. I recommend a visit here. Being collected and dropped off at our hotel was fantastic. We were so impressed we used Dhevan to transport to the airport the following day.

Great information, good driving, all the bases covered. Excellent lunch, and nothing was hurried. Since the mosque was closed, our driver/guide took us to the Portuguese settlement.

Matha picked us up in a great air conditioned car which was most welcome. Matha kindly made a comfort stop on our way to Malacca and provided us with bottles of water during the day. Matha then dropped us at various points of interest which was great however, we originally thought he would accompany us to the temples, forts etc. We stopped off in Jonker Street for lunch which was okay but would not eat there again. Matha was extremely helpful, courteous and very polite the whole day. Chris and Jude Moss UK
