Malaysia Tours

Really enjoyed this tour! A good mixture of cities, countryside and wildlife. So many highlights on this trip although if I had to pick I would say the Cameron Highlands, the wildlife of Borneo and the Gardens by the Bay in Singapore. The food was good and varied. The weather was hot & humid so be prepared clothes wise. I purposefully brought longer trousers as the itinerary said to dress conservatively however shorts of a decent length were perfectly fine for most places & our guide would highlight where longer trousers were needed the day prior (only the Batu Caves as I remember). I was glad I brought the longer trousers for Borneo though to avoid the pesky mosquitos (also bring bug spray). Also, definitely take a change of clothes for the river cruise in Kota Kinabalu in case of a sudden downpour as it's a 2 hour coach ride back to the hotel which is not pleasant in damp clothes.

I would highlight that this tour has a physical rating of level 1. For me (as some aged in my 30's with a good level of fitness) I would classify it as a level 2 given the heat & humidity along with the intensity of some of the walks with a lot of stairs and uneven ground! Just something to bear in mind when considering this tour as the general consensus in my group was that it was A LOT more physically demanding that any of us expected. This includes people on their 2nd, 3rd, 4th. . . Wendy Wu tour.

The tour only includes one day in Singapore. Given the amount of things to see in this incredible city I think it would be worthwhile staying for an extra night or two if possible.

Overall I would definitely recommend this tour! Had a fantastic two weeks with a brilliant group of people. Thank you to our wonderful guides - especially Kugan in Peninsular Malaysia and Kurt in Borneo - if you are lucky enough to have these guides in the future you're in good hands!
