A long but rewarding day trip - A fascinating, if long, day visiting the Cameron Highlands from Kuala Lumpur, involving some temples, some shopping, and the highlight - a visit to a tea estate.

Good expereince- even better tour guide! - This was a great experience. The driver makes a big difference so highly recommend Navin! He explained a lot of things, and made sure to get us to the airport on time. He was 15 mins early for pick up and always to make sure we were comfortable. If you book this trip- make sure to request for Navin- you won't regret it!

Absolutely not worth the... - Absolutely not worth the price. Four hours to get there, see the place and drive back another 4 hours passing what the call « farms » (=shops with cheap Chinese toys) by.

There's no tourguide,... - There's no tourguide, just a driver that leaves you at each place. The driver also didn't know the stops we had booked, luckily he was nice and accepted to make the stops we preferred.

Cameron is good to see, but not a must. - Overall a nice experience, but I can say the tour is very expensive for what it offers. Stopping in the Batu Caves saved us some time from the next days. The Cameron Highlands are good to see, especially for tea lovers but I expected more iconic landscapes. The tea we tried was great, but finally not a must see place! The Buddhist temple and the night market were great and so full of culture, something difficult to find in big cities (especially in Kuala Lumpur). Though, the rest of the stops are nothing special, just a waste of time and money in the markets there. The timing is strict, so we had really limited time in the temple and the market which were the best out of the trip. The road is full of curves, and especially if it is raining this will be a bad experience for people suffering from nausea.

Very disappointed 13 hour day - Hi this experience was terrible ,13 hours we were in a small car , no leg space, and minimal air con, it took 7 hours before we got to cameron highlands . Our tour guide only spoke when we pulled up to get out of car. Because we ran late , we missed out on cactus farm and temple / mosque as they were closed. We also didn't stop for dinner and driver was sometimes exceeding limit on freewsy by 30km . I would not recommend this day trip to anyone, very disappointed

Not a tour, just a driver - This is the second time out of two tries with Viator that I felt the product was misrepresented. I was looking for a tour with a guide. I got a driver who barely said a word to me during an 11-hour excursion. He had few facts to offer and asking questions provided dubious results. TIP: make sure the “tour” you sign up for is really a tour and not just transportation.
