Overall we had a great experience. Both Singapore and Kuala Lumpur were nice. The tours were well organised . We skipped one, because there was an overlap with another day we organised ourselves. The guides, first the one for Sentosa, the guide for the 25 highlights in KL (Chandran), and the guide for the trip to Malacca (Vino) all did an excellent job. Both hotels were good too: at both, upon inquiry, we were given two separate beds as mother and daughter instead of one large bed. And the transport to and from the airport and the journey from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur went smoothly. A bit of a delay, but a nicely air-conditioned bus. And the concierge at Furama hotel, Guna, was very helpful with the luggage. In short: it was very successful. Asia is a very nice region to visit. Warm though, so be prepared…Show more
