Great experience - They were there on time to pick us up at the terminal. We were very happy with the trip. We had a little time off to go shopping. The driver was very knowledgeable about the places to see thank you very much via tour.

Good City Tour, Local Food and Shopping experience - Charlie our tour guide told us to go to Imago shopping mall to shop and he pick us up from thg here instead of the cruise port. When we finish the tour, he took us to supermarket and pharmacy to shop. Then drop us at Darian stand and Kung Fu Bak Kut Tah. We had a wonderful time eating our hearts out. We spent all out Malaysia money and the boss treat us a dish and rice so we finish all their great dishes.

Nice deal for a few hours tours of the main attractions of KK - Nice locations, definitely the most salient points in KK. The driver was nice and flexible and did his best to accomodate our requests.

Museum interesting no information about the rest of the tour - Driver kindly waited for us as our flight was delayed.
Went to Sabah museum which was very interesting. The other stops were not explained as drivers English poor and he didn’t have knowledge about the sights we were seeing. Had to Google them when back to the hotel.
Not the best tour we have ever done

Sadly dissapointed - Unfortunately, we had a tour guide who spoke very little English which made the 'tour' difficult.
He was very nice but was probably more of a driver than a guide, we didn't get hardly any information about KK history. We're also not sure he realised we'd paid for a 3 to 4 hour tour either.
Overall, sadly dissapointed.

Rookie driver! - Driver was puntual but too quiet to be a tour guide. He did not got out of the vehicle to look for us, I had to approach the window and asked him if he was our driver. He didn’t explained anything along the way, not even basic information of the places we visited. He barely offered to take pictures for us. The tour length was supposed to be 3-4 hrs and we were back at the hotel just before the 3 hrs mark. So I don’t understand why the driver was in such a rush to come back to the pick up place.

Rubbish, don’t waste your money - This was one of the worst trips we have ever had the misfortune to experience. Half day tour which only lasted 1.5 hours. It was a taxi and the driver was not a guide and did not speak English as advised in the itinerary.
The tour specifies a visit to the mosque, Chinese temple, Sabah state museum (which was closed and had been since 2 Sept) and signal hill.
We did not go to Signal hill and instead went to a government building which was empty as they have relocated to a building nearby. We were given no history about the city’s heritage.
Do NOT book this tour. For any decent tours with English speaking guides we would recommend Amazing Borneo.

Not worth the money or the time. - Have a guide who spoke English and was engaged in the tour. If we had not met up with another couple at our first stop being guided by someone from the same company we would not have had any idea the sights we were seeing. Our guide was not even interested in learning. He was on his phone most of the time. I will say the other guide was great. So it may be hit or miss when booking with them.
