      Very very happy!

      "He was an amazing host to us. We started the tour 1.5 hours late as our visa on arrival took 2 hours. He waited for us patiently. The tour also went over 2 hours late than discussed. He said he is happy if we are happy so made sure we saw all the sights we wanted to. Thank you so much!"

      Great Guide

      "Paul was very knowledgeable. He took us to all the places on our list. He had a hotspot so we could connect to the internet and that was wonderful. We had not had internet access for a couple of weeks. Very personable very down to earth. Very prompt to pick us up at the ship and got us back in plenty of time. The day we were with him he had a great driver. Gave us lots of interesting facts about Kuala Lumpur and the history. If you don’t use Paul you are missing out on a great guide. "

      Great, quick overview

      "We only had 7 hours - airport to airport, so we didnt have a lot of time. Brendon was very helpful, tailored the tour to the things we wanted to see, got us some great local food, and worked hard to get us back to the airport in the crazy traffic. He was very informative and insightful about the culture, population, politics, history, etc. Very nice tour."

      Great day to explore Kuala Lumpur

      "Thank you Pak Champ, it was a great day with lots of features. He showed us everything and explained how and what. We would really recommend Cham. Only thing which he had no influence was the traffic but we were nicely on time back on the cruise boat. 👌"
