i give 5 stars only because that is the maximum amount if stars that I can give through this system. Mr Joe, the driver and guide, made this trip the best tour we had in almost a whole week in KL. he is very very knowledgeable about Ipoh and all things related to Malaysia, very kind, friendly, funny, understanding of people's needs, flexible and overall simply a great person and a visit companion. i hope all tour operators in Malaysia take example from Joe as he delivers exactly what tourists need.

About 3 hours drive from KL. Our guide Mr. Avalee was very knowledgeable about the history of Ipoh and surrounding area and gave us very detailed information at each place we visited. Traditional food of Ipoh and small confectionery were very good. We enjoyed the tour a lot. Thank you so much, Mr Avalee.
