The monkey park was wonderful! They were so adorable. My guide was Rajan, and he was a great guide. He made sure everything went smoothly, very accommodating, friendly, and very knowledgeable about everything. I learned so much from him. I highly recommend this tour and also Rajan. Will book again 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Picked up by my guide Harry - I was the only one on this tour. A very knowledgeable guide who made the whole day enjoyable. As an extra I did the boat trip to see eagles feeding on the river before returning to to port for a seafood dinner before viewing the fireflies. Food was ok but not brilliant. Firefly trip was amazing and we were lucky to see a fine display. Not sure what happened on the way back to KL as the Lake Symphony Tour didn’t happen.
