Reviews of our Malaysia Tours for August
Feedback from guests who toured Malaysia during August.
Anonymous | Traveled in August
The highlights for me were seeing orangutans (including babies!) in the wild, plus the rare pygmy elephants, alongside so much other incredible wildlife. Our local leader and guides were outstanding – not only were they brilliant at spotting animals I never would have seen on my own, but they also shared fascinating insights into Borneo’s wildlife and culture, which really enriched the whole experience. I loved the variety of activities too – from hiking through the rainforest to snorkelling in crystal-clear waters, spotting wildlife on boat trips, exploring charming towns, and relaxing on pristine white beaches. It truly offered a little bit of everything. This trip was magical from start to finish, and the orangutans in particular were such a special sight. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for adventure, wildlife, and unforgettable memories.

We had such a great holiday which was made even better by having our guide Nostalia show us the way from start to finish. We were fortunate to see some very rare and unusual wildlife including Pygmy Elephants. With our guide’s help we were able to see some things that we would likely have missed otherwise: baby crocodiles, hornbills etc.

We have just returned from this trip and it was amazing! We travelled as a family of 3 (son aged 16) and there was one other family of five in our group (with three children aged 10-14). We all got on so well, including with our fabulous tour guide, Beverly! Borneo is a beautiful island! The stunning rainforest, Mount Kinabalu, the hornbills, proboscis monkeys, monitor lizards, turquoise waters, incredible sunsets, exotic flowers, sun bears... I could go on and on!

The tour guide was very informative. just have some feedback; it would be much more better if the tour provide us the destination information brochures and mineral water (or snacks) in the car.
Adam | Traveled in August
It's a good place to release the stress especially if you go with your friends. It's a recommended place for making competition among your friends. However, the weather was extremely hot and food was expensive.
Katherine | Traveled in August
Very informative tour. You learn everything about Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia. The tour guide was very nice. If you happen to be on a quick visit to Kuala Lumpur and need to have a quick but packed-of-information tour then this is it. I had no plan of going to KLCC but the tour guide dropped me off to it so I had my chance to get near and have a photo of the famous Petronas Twin Tower. I really recommend this tour.
