A very long day, full of beautiful places and landscapes that characterize Malaysia, with much to see, from tea plantations to fruit farms, to a butterfly garden, cactus gardens, roses and orchids, local market, visit in an aboriginal village, serving lunch at Sultan Ahmed Shah Golf Club, etc. Not only did we enjoy everything, everywhere, but our private tour guide was a super host. Thanks Chandra Saynan!

The Cameron Highlands was a very long day, departing from our City Centre hotel at 5am and returning at 8pm. There was plenty to see and do ranging from tea plantations to fruit farms, a butterfly garden, rose and orchid gardens, local market and a home visit in a local village. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to spend as much time as we wanted at each stop. Our included lunch, at the Sultan Ahmed Shah Golf Club included the quite unique (and unexpected) experience of seeing the King of Malaysia presenting awards before departing by helicopter! The only negative was the heavy traffic during our return drive to Kuala Lumpur. We would recommend avoiding weekends for this tour if possible.

The guide Mr Pillai was very kind. It was fun listening to everything he had to say. He also did his best to make sure we had fun and drove very safely. But, the tour itself is probably overpriced. It says that entrance tickets are included, but the only thing that actually cost to enter was the small insect museum which was very cheap (10 Malaysian Ringgit) - we certainly did not have time for the biform. which takes us to the next point: the schedule is too tight: no chance of reaching all the attractions without stress. The most fun was the tea plantations and we almost wish we had only skipped half of the other and had more time on the plantation (for example, we did not have time to go in and walk in one of them, which looked very nice). One last thing was also that they changed the pick up time for us from 5am to 7am. The company announced this at 12pm when we were already asleep. As a result, we got up unnecessarily in the middle of the night and had our dinner plans canceled.
