“Raj was absolutely phenomenal! He contacted me the day before to confirm the pickup details which I appreciated. Once I was picked up, he immediately started telling me about his culture and the Mayalsian culture which was so informative. This is definitely not a guided tour - you get driven to each site and you have time to explore. I didn't mind this at all. Raj even took me to a few places that weren't on the itinerary. He is very passionate about Malaysian culture which adds such personality to the tour. The lunch provided was really delicious. Overall fantastic experience”
