Reviews of Malaysia Family Tours
- Best of West Malaysia in 11 Days (Private Custom)
Three weeks, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos. Eleven hotels, five flights, one train, five boat trips. Truong Phan Huy was my tour guide in the Hanoi, Danang, Wei and Ho An area. He has many great descriptions and stories about the war in Vietnam. He was very friendly, knew many facts about the different places we visited, like in the Danang area, China Beach, and battles.
- Personalized Malaysia Holiday Package, Daily Start & Private Car
We had a great tour in Malaysia, well beyond our best expectations. Raymond, our guide, was amazing
- Sandakan Orangutan Experience 4D/3N
The tour was great, very well organised, full of adventure and saw lots of things. Only thing is I think if it was organised by myself it would have cost a fraction of what the actual cost was however we used up some travel credits so we cannot complain as we were very well looked after.
