My guide , Abrman (so?), was fantastic. As a single woman traveler in her 60s, he was always kind, attentive and helpful. He helped me with my luggage and made sure that I was always engaged in the activities. The bilit ecolodge was fabulous on the river. The air conditioning worked great.

The tour was fantabulous! Great sights, great food, excellent tour guides are ingredients for an unforgettable experience. Close encounters with wildlife in the primeval forest of Borneo as well as the mangrove forest in Langkawi are second to none; the boat rides with the help of local guides make for a thrilling adventure. Complementing the awesome nature discovery is the cultural immersion in the distinct cities of Malacca, Kuala Lumpur, Georgetown and Langkawi. A candid preview of Malaysia at its awesome best in two weeks! It is hands-down one of the best uses of one's time, energy, money.
