Malaysia, we love you! - Our tour with Josh was fabulous! He was so knowledgeable, approachable and had a great sense of humor. We asked a million questions and he patiently answered them all. Josh recommended a restaurant for lunch and we were not disappointed. In the end, we learned so much about Malaysia because Josh was not hesitant to answer our probing questions about his country, culture, languages, religion and more. We were so happy with Josh that we are now booking a second tour before we leave this beautiful country. Memories are made based on the locals one meets along the way and the way they treat us. We will have warm memories of Malaysia. Martha Deichler

Wonderful day in Penang - Our driver, Carol Lee, was excellent and got us to all the key destinations in the itinerary—and more—very efficiently and explained things very well. Would definitely use her services again when in Penang! We had a great day thanks to her.

Perfect Guide in Penang. - We were picked up by Gashen at the Cruise Terminal at Penang. He spoke excellent English and was extremely knowledgeable. He took us all round Penang showing and explaining perfectly a the major sites. He was one of the best guides we have had. We had a really interesting tour and he finally dropped us off back at the Cruise Terminal. We would recommend this Tour as excellent.

A very Expensive Taxi drive not a guide - Nothing a Taxi drive around town. The guide was just a taxi driver. Too expensive than hiring a taxi.
