Personalized trips to Malaysia
for independent travelers

Everyone that helped us throughout the tour were very helpful, knowledgeable, and proactive. They all knew we had limited time at each site, so they arranged their respective itineraries accordingly to ensure we saw as much as possible. All guides and drivers were very professional and experienced. They all paid attention to detail and ensured our comfort throughout the long drives to each site. My daughter and I really enjoyed our time during this tour.

Kuala Lumpur: Batu Caves & City Tour

Kuala Lumpur

I wish the guide would of explained to us more about the history and significance of the temple. Our time was limited to the general area at the bottom of the steps. I didn't realize that there was more to the site than just the steps and caves. We did not see the surrounding area. We ended up learning more about this site through our driver than the actual guide.

Guide should have explained the significance and history of the site a bit more in detail

Kuala Lumpur: Petronas Twin Towers

Malaysia

I wish the guide should have taken us to an area where we could see the two towers from a distance so we can take photos and appreciate the architecture. We were immediately taken inside so we could get in line and wait for our turn.

Fantastic Malaysian Adventure!

I recently returned from an incredible trip to Malaysia, and I owe a huge thanks to Nick for making it such a smooth and memorable experience. From the very start, everything was handled with professionalism and attention to detail.

The itinerary prepared for me was spot on! I got to explore the bustling city life of Kuala Lumpur, where I marveled at the Petronas Towers and took in the cultural beauty of Batu Caves. My guide, Raja, was knowledgeable and friendly, making sure I didn’t miss out on any hidden gems.

Nick also arranged for my stay in George Town, Penang, and I absolutely loved the mix of culture, street art, and delicious food (seriously, the food tours were a highlight!). Lawrence ensured all transfers, tours, and excursions were hassle-free, leaving me to enjoy the adventure.

After Penang, the next stop was the Cameron Highlands, where we explored the stunning tea plantations with our knowledgeable guide, Subrahmanya. The beautiful rolling hills and cool climate provided a peaceful and refreshing experience. However, the only drawback was the stay at the Heritage Hotel Cameron Highlands. The hotel was old and not well maintained, making it an overall unpleasant experience. Though it was bearable for just one night, we would not recommend staying there.

One standout feature of Kimkim was their exceptional customer service. Any questions I had before and during the trip were promptly answered, and I always felt taken care of. It's clear their guides know Malaysia inside out and are passionate about making sure travelers have a great experience.

If you're looking for a seamless, well-planned, and enriching travel experience in Malaysia, I highly recommend Nick. I’m already dreaming of my next trip!

Hotel Reviews

Sukau Greenview Lodge

Kinabatangan River

I stayed at the Sukau Greenview Lodge in Sandakan for three nights. While the accommodations were okay, given that it’s in the jungle, I wasn't expecting high-level amenities. They were great about some things, like the air conditioning which was terrific, but not so good about others, such as only accepting cash. I had no Malaysian ringgit and wanted to buy an ice cream but couldn't because they didn't accept credit cards. The staff at the desk weren't very helpful, but the guides were excellent.

Pangkor Laut Resort

Lumut

I chose this hotel as it was recommended by a friend, and it didn't disappoint!

Activity Review

Sandakan: Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre

Sandakan

I visited the Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre in Sandakan, and while the center itself was nice and the guides and staff were terrific, it felt a bit too much like a zoo for my taste. I personally enjoyed the part of the trip where we were in the wild more, especially at the Greenview Bed and Breakfast in the Borneo jungle. The nature in the area was absolutely stunning and exactly what I traveled for.
