We had Harie as our tour guide and he was incredible so if you can ask for him, please do. We left the hotel early and we booked a group tour, but it was just the two of us in the end. It’s a long drive to Cameron Highlands but we had a breakfast stop on the way which was really needed. Harry is probably one of the best drivers I have ever had and he navigated the road so well and ensured we didn’t get stuck in traffic to make the most of our time. He also tailored the tour to us to make sure we spent more time seeing what we wanted to. He taught us a lot about all the places we went to even as we were driving along, which was really nice but also memorable. He was so friendly that he really made the day what it was and taught us a lot about Malaysia and the culture. We had a great time visiting all the different sites. The flower garden is like a garden centre and we asked to skip the bee farm so we had time to see the temple as we got stuck in really bad traffic heading back into Kuala Lumpur. If you do go to the temple just be aware of through a lot of monkeys so just keep your belongings tucked away. And make sure you wear comfortable shoes as there are a lot of stairs!

“I thought it was a...
“I thought it was a sharing tour and wanted to confirm if I was going alone, because if that was the case, I would rather cancel. I was told there were about 150 people going, but I arrived and I was alone. I think group travel completely changes the experience

Night Kuala Lumpur.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.
