★★★★★★★★★★3.6 · 35 reviews · 1 day · from $98

Review of Sabah’s Kundasang day tour, with Desa Dairy Farm, Poring Hot Springs, Nabalu Market, lunch, and Kinabalu Park views.

“Le guide ne vous explique rien, vous passez très peu de temps au parc du mont Kinabalu mais plus à la ferme des vaches ou vous n’avez rien à faire. Le guide vous dépose sans explications et vous demande juste de revenir à cette heure. J’ai payé l’excursion pour passer le plus clair de mon temps dans le van ou la Clim fonctionne de manière approximative et où vous n’avez pas de place pour vos jambes. Le prix qui est demandé est excessif pour l’excursion. A éviter !”
