I had a chance to visit Malaysia, driver that picked me up at the hotel and took me back was very professional and courteous.
Negative –
Tour guide - was pleasant and professional however most of the information I was able to obtain about the country and city was because I asked. This is a long road trip, the tour guide should use some of the time on the road to explain, history, culture, interesting facts etc.. anything about the country that would make the time on the road enjoyable and educational.
Food – Breakfast/Brunch, food and place was average not memorable. Dinner at the Kuala Lumpur tower buffet below average plus the restaurant is very outdated it felt old and musty.
Driver in Malaysia – Although we ended our two 2 hours earlier than planned in KL, the driver was speeding on the way back passing every car and truck on the road tailgating the cars and bullying the car in of front us at times less than 10 feet from the car in front while traveling at super high speed may time during pouring rain. Neither the driver or tour guide seemed to have any concern for their safety or mine. This was a very expensive tour not worth the risk, time and money.

Great day! We saw so much in 1 day, I feel like we got a really good sample of Malaysia. Breakfast buffet at Park Inn was very good, dinner in revolving restaurant was nice. I esp enjoyed getting to experience 3 major religious places of worship - Muslim Mosque, Hindu Temple, Buddhist Temple. Shopping at Central Market was great too! I exchanged $60USD and had plenty for Tshirts, magnets etc. Elmo our guide was great - friendly and knowledgable. Our driver did a great job navigating the highways and driving for hours, safely! Highly recommend this tour!!

I had an absolutely wonderful time with my guide, Elmo, and our driver, Joe. The trip was long, and the climate was very hot and humid, but Elmo and Joe were especially thoughtful and attentive with regards to my comfort throughout the trip (e.g. air conditioning in the vehicle, bathroom breaks, providing water and an umbrella, wifi in the van). The tour ran very smoothly and efficiently, including border crossing. The selection of sites was just right in showcasing the highlights of Kuala Lumpur that could be seen in one day. I especially loved seeing the Batu caves and viewing the city from the Petronas towers. Joe and Elmo accommodated my interest in local food by bringing me to a delicious spot near Petaling Street for dinner, which was probably the highlight of this trip. I would absolutely recommend this experience for anyone interested in learning more about Kuala Lumpur and Malaysian history and culture(s)—it was worth every penny. One day is not enough to truly familiarize oneself with Kuala Lumpur, let alone the rest of Malaysia, but it was certainly enough to make me want to revisit. Thank you, Elmo, for being an outstanding, knowledgeable guide, and to Joe, for being an excellent driver and for showing us where to eat at Petaling street.
