IPOH. Private tour - Day with private tour to IPOH from Kuala lumpur.
Pick up at the hotel convenient, the day before arrives the confirmation via whatsapp.
We stayed with Sathesh, very kind, punctual, nice and very prepared!
It also took us to the waterfalls and a beautiful temple inside a quarry that were not marked on the schedule! We also had lunch at a local place in IPOH where we ate very well and drank the famous White coffee!
Highly recommended for a day out from KL

Through the history of Ipoh - Beautiful experience through the story of Ipoh!
That was a beautiful daytrip from Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh visiting the most famous Cave Temples of the city. Then we visited the city and don’t forget to try the famous White Coffee at “Old Town White Coffee”!

Best Ipoh Private Day Trip - Our tour was with Mr Janar with a 7am start. It included many very interesting sites with lots of great photo opportunities. Mr Janar was most informative and he is very knowledgeable about this area. The trip included breakfast and lunch which were both really delicious. It was our first time trying Nasi Lemak and I would definitely recommend trying it if you haven't.
I would definitely recommend this trip and Mr Janar as we had the best time on this tour.

Great day at Ipoh - Sathia was very kind and took great care of me. She was very friendly and I had great time with her getting to know Ipoh. She recommended some traditional dishes that were very good. I would definitely recommend touring with her.

Thank you Prabaz - From the moment we met Prabaz at 6:30am (he was early and already full of energy!) until he dropped us off around 5pm, he went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. When our original boat plans were cancelled due to low tide, Prabaz didn’t miss a beat, he personally arranged a boat ride for us out of his own pocket just so we wouldn’t miss out on the experience.
He was the most friendly, upbeat, and joke-cracking guide we’ve had on our entire trip. Always checking in, sharing stories, and keeping the vibe light and fun. You can tell he genuinely cares about making sure his guests have the best time possible.
Prabaz was the absolute highlight of our trip, and we can’t recommend him highly enough. If you get the chance, ask for him you won’t regret it!

Special day in Malaysia - I really appreciate my guide, Harin who flexibly arranged my tour to avoid traffic jam and meet my requests to see several sites. The lunch at Ipoh with chicken rice was delicious too. It was not a cheap tour but worth to pay for the experience.

Beautiful meeting with the Orang Utan - Nice excursion. A little too much car but it was mandatory. The main interest was this visit to the Bukit Merah reserve for the Orang Utan protected colony.
