Amazing day trip of trivias, photos, and meals - The itinerary was well planned out and allow us to go to several spots without being rushed. Our tour guide, Mr. Subra, was punctual and kind. He picked us up right on time be it from the hotel or the tourist spots. Along the way he also gave us trivias and fun facts about the spots and of Malaysia itself. Kellie's castle is great to look around and take pictures of. My only suggestion is to bring an umbrella or a fan because it's really hot. The Perak cave is unique but the stairs. Just wow. I hope you're wearing comfortable shoes. We got to try nasi campur, kaya puff, white coffee, and several other dishes. We also bought some souvenirs since the shop is right across the restaurant. All in all it's a great day trip and a great route for a tour. 👍

Good tour for getting to know the rural part of Malaysia and also some landmarks along the way - We participated in this experience with Avalee, he was both our guide and driver and he really did a great job explaining the history of Ipoh town, the different hardships of the Malaysian people during WW1/2 and many more bits of interesting Malay history.

Ipoh - Ahmed our driver was very good, very informative and a very safe driver and the provided lunch was very good. However the tour content was very ordinary ,Kellies Castle was good, the Buddist temple was excellant, but thats about it. Another buddist temple was closed the railway station was ok, with the other hgighlight being the coffee.

Dishonest your guide - The tour guide cheated on me. I he did not say anything when it comes to lunch and he made me pay for lunch and I saw him took the receipt and folded underneath the cell phone and I returned to hotel and found out lunch is included
