Magical Malaysia

Fantastic trip Monkey Hill was amazing if you want to get close to the monkeys, fantastic experience. The dinner at a local fishing village was delicious and you could choose from the menu, whilst looking out over the river, watching eagles dive. Then the fireflies- WOW ! It was magical

A must see tour if you like monkeys boats, fireflies and good food.

We lived this truo. Chen was an excellent guide and all the activities were fantastic. We really enjoyed his ongoing and learnt a lot about malaysia during the day. The silver leafed monkeys were the highlight. So many friendly but enthusiastic monkeys and the little ones even allowed me to stroke them. There were millions of fireflies to see and the meal was of a high standard and so many choices. It was a memorable tour.

A Great, Reliable, Tour Company

We had an amazing time seeing the fireflies and monkeys with our guide Hafiz. He was super informative and so kind. The monkeys were adorable and friendly and the fireflies were amazing to see. From the time I had booked this tour until the day of the tour, this company was super communicative and accommodating, which is something I really appreciate especially as someone visiting Malaysia for the first time. When I come back to Malaysia, I will definitely book with ForeverVacation again.

Dont miss this tour!

This tour with ForeverVacation Kuala Lumpur was the best tour we experienced during our stay. Our tour guide was Janice Tiew and she is very welcoming and she made our day very special. Janice is an excellent and knowledgeable guide, a very considerate driver and the itinerary was very good with plenty of time to visit Monkey Hill and see the Fireflies. We were delighted to have a very delicious dinner in a Chinese restaurant in a fishing village. We highly recommend this tour company and especially our tour guide Janice. Thank you for making it memorable for us.
