Great day tour!!! - We went for a private tour to Ipoh and Mr Raja was our driver. He was on time and picked us up at the hotel lobby at our requested pick up time. Everything was perfect for our family! Mr Raja was friendly and took us to all the places we wanted to visit in Ipoh and ordered our food at the restaurant. He always had a smile on his face and patiently waited for us at the parking spot until we were ready to go to our next stop. Thank you Mr Raja for our tour today!

It was an quiet and interesting experience with the our guide who have done the tour for us. My family enjoyed the most. - Mr coolmernan is very nice, show me lot of things and tell us the history of Tapah fish. The journey through the old road to Ipoh was wonderful. We witnessed the joy of having village durian fruit which was introduced by our guide. He is very well versed in his commentary and customer satisfaction.

A superb private day tour to Ipoh from Kuala Lumpur - This is our first trip to city of Ipoh, Perak. Our guide, Mr. Raja is a superb driver-guide. He drives smoothly and also explains and tells a lot of history about Ipoh and surrounds. We kinda love it so much. Our first stop, Kellie's Castle is amazing place, it showing us a fantastic castle, full of mystery, even though the building is never to be finished. But it's very interesting, plus, the view from the top is very amazing. Mr. Raja also helps us to take a lot of pictures, yes we really love it. Then we go to Ipoh city, we stop by the Old Town White Coffee Padang Ipoh, it's very nice to drink and taste the original white coffee here, we chill and having a relax time here. Then we go to Birch Memorial Clock Tower, also the Ipoh Railway Station. This was a photo stop by, but we also enjoy it a lot. Next, Mr. Raja surprises us to the Concubine Lane, kind of hidden alley selling goods, local foods, and also souvenirs. This also a hidden spot to take noce and lovely pictures. Then we have lunch of chicken tau geh, an authentic Ipoh food. We love it so much! After buying some goods and foodie to bring home, we continue our journey to Perak Tong Temple. This place is totally amazing, natural cave with a giant Buddha statue and temple inside of it. We also climb to the top, where we can see a spectacular view from above. This is our last stop before heading back to Kuala Lumpur. Overall, the car is clean and comfortable. And specially to Mr. Raja, he is so superb guide, with a very clear explanation, and also care to details for our needs. He's so totally love his job, and we are saying have a very good time with him. Totally recommended, and best service. We difinitely come back again to try another tour with Ivy Holidays.
