Great day with lots to see! - The drive from Kuala Lumpur to Cameron Highlands was long, about 4 hours total, but our driver/guide made frequent stops so that it didn't feel that long. Rajash (spelling?) shared a lot of information whether it was history, nature, local lifestyle etc. One thing to keep in mind is that a lot of places are closed on Mondays (our trip was on a Monday). Due to this, we were not able to visit the tea plantation mentioned in the itinerary, but Rajash was able to change it to an alternate tea plantation, which turned out to be just fine. We had numerous stops along the way, and Rajash made sure we saw everything we wanted. Overall, a great day!

MEMORABLE AND RE VITALISATION TRIP - Cameron Highlands Solo drive with a stop over at Batu Caves is memorable which has given lot of freshness and energy into the body and truly worth going for it in solo or group. Being an Indian Vegetarian could enjoy even South Indian Veg food also at Cameron Highlands. Its worth doing this day long trip

Beautiful Cameron Valley and Batu Caves! - A wonderful day with Aris, my driver! He showed me all the beautiful sights on the itinerary. The Cameron Valley is gorgeous, and not to be missed on a trip to Kuala Lumpur. Try and avoid a Friday, as it is busy due to their holiday every Friday. Kind regards, Sue from Australia

A day in Cameron Highlands - Wonderful day in the Cameron Highlands with first stop at a beautiful waterfall along the way, visit to the tea valley (that alone is worth the price of the ticket), visit to a strawberry farm and finally mini-safari with many types of animals and beautiful butterflies and last stop at a beautiful Chinese temple. Our guide Besrial (Harry) pampered us from start to finish explaining a lot of things, really a great experience.

Excellent tour guide then share your story what were the most memorable parts of your experience so I'll say the brochur - I feel the brochures misrepresented what we saw. Our guide was phenomenal, the best we've had probably in the full month we've been traveling. However, the sights and Cameron Highlands were very commercial and touristy. Not what we expected. The brochures implied there would be more personal interaction in the environment. We basically drove to each site was able to go in a store and have tour but no feeling of interaction, too commercial. I can't say enough about how wonderful our guide was. He filled the long hours in the car with valuable information. He was clear, intelligent, friendly and pleasant to spend the long hours . I don't feel the quality of the tour was worth the time and money that I spent.

My guide was really good.... - My guide was really good. He changed the sites to my request. The highligt for the day suppose to be the tea plantation "Cameron Valley Tea" which was really disappointing as it was only a shop, restaurant and finally a photo point with no explanation about the tea growing and making. So my driver took my to the "BOH Heritage Tea Center and Factory" which had much better quality of tea and even a free factory tour included.

Lots of fun, loads of lovely memories made! - Tour was amazing packed so much in to one day. Our tour guide was very considerate of what we wanted and altered the tour to suit our needs, really went over and beyond! Rajan, our tour guide, always went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience. Great knowledge, photography skills and a lovely warm, friendly man who made us feel safe due to his relationships with the locals and the aborigines also. Would highly recommend this as a tour, we’ll definitely be going through this company again for any future tours in the area.

Great Destination Dreadful Guide - I can honestly say this would have to of been the worst experiences we have endured with Viator. The problem was the guide, not the actual trip. I wouldn’t know where to start, in fact I don’t think anyone would believe what happened, you couldn’t make it up. We have used Viator on various occasions and never had a problem. We decided not to do Batu Caves the last part of the trip as all we wanted was to get back to our hotel. The following day we did another trip through Viator, Malacca, great day and guide which is what you generally get.

don’t do it - the driver was very late, not being clear about it and not apologizing. then the trip itself wasn’t really worth it, not so much to see. the driver then got lost so we wasted more time, then the weather was horrible (of course not the driver’s or organization fault) and missed batu caves. we’d rather have done only batu caves and staayed by the swimming pool in kl. they apologized later and i got a little refund but still not worth it
