We would like to combine the cruise with your 14-day Malaysia and Borneo In Depth Tour before heading off to Cairns for the cruise. However the tour will need to finish in Kuala Lumpur on 17th March 2024 so that we have time to travel to Cairns Australia later that day. Can you tell us what are the possibilities to arrange this please.

We are more than happy to customize your tour. With a tailor-made tour, you will be able to experience Malaysia in a very unique and private way. You will have flexible travel dates and feel free to amend the itinerary to your own liking. Our tour will end at Kota Kinabalu but we surely can arrange a domestic flight to Kuala Lumpur for you (approximately 2,5 hours of flying).

We’re seasoned world travelers, and this tour ranks among the very best. Everything was exceptionally well organized and ran seamlessly from start to finish. Our three guides—Minho, Angelo, and Yong—were outstanding: knowledgeable, flexible, and genuinely attentive throughout. The itinerary was interesting with major sights included, the restaurants were good, and the cherry blossoms in full bloom made the experience even more special. We’re especially grateful that Tweet World Travel moved forward with the tour despite last-minute cancellations—it truly made for an unforgettable trip. The only minor criticism was of the Lahan Select Gyeongju which did not seem to be of 4-star quality. Based on this trip, I would highly recommend Tweet World Travel.Show more
