I have been on a Hainan Cultural Cooking class and the experience I have got is just amazing. The tour starts with a walking tour and continues with a cooking master class where under the guidance of Chef Colin we were cooking local hainanese dishes. Organization of a tour is excellent! You get to know the history of hainanese culture, learn about local spices and cook traditional dishes. The Chef Colin is very professional and dedicated to what he is doing. I will definitely go to another tour as there are a few of them. Definitely recommended!!!

Light up your evening with your favorite local on a unique private tour from busy Kuala Lumpur to the quiet neighboring village of Kuala Selangor. Whether you are fascinated by temples or captivated by nature, this tour has a great mix and will be an unforgettable experience! Head together with your new local friend towards Kuala Selangor and enjoy the views along the way. Malaysia is famous for having a rich multicultural history. There is no better way to catch those vibes than visiting a rural area that has three remarkable temples from three different religions. And don't miss the cows grazing alongside these temples, it's a wonderfully pastoral sight. By now the sun is starting to go down, and it's time to see the most incredible highlight of this trip, the fireflies! Hop in a boat and float down the river as the fireflies flicker all around you. This is a truly magical experience and will be one to remember.

Inclusions: Local guide, A/C car, Hotel pick-up & drop off, Bottled water, Private Tour, Driver

No need to worry about navigating the roads in Johor Bahru. Enjoy the exclusivity of your own air-conditioned vehicle as your driver picks you up from your preferred Singapore location. Best part about this is you do not need to get off your vehicle when crossing the customs immigration! Once you're in Johor Bahru, choose from an array of cafes, restaurants and local eateries for the day, pausing in between for shopping and massage.

Inclusions: As per the option you select.

Our flight from Australia was delayed by almost 3 hours nevertheless a driver was waiting for us in the arrivals area. We were very thankful for that!

Some great sites, but the view of the Petronas towers is in a random road a fair way away from the towers themselves (our hotel was closer with a better view). Two of the stops were definite 'fake tourism' situations, whereby the tour company clearly has a deal with the places (only visitors here are those on tours). The guide fell asleep a couple of times throughout the experience, and it was felt that at the end, they wished to go home and either rush us on or drop us elsewhere so we could make our own way back... One of the stops you visit we were told we would have 40 minutes, but as it's 25 past, I'll round it and give you until quarter to... (i.e. giving 20 minutes). This wasn't enough time to go in to the museum... which also isn't included in the price?! Overall I'd say this was a slightly expensive taxi service, with some nice details given within the ride.

Part of my bias is likely due to the rain. It was a good tour, but obviously some of the out door stuff was a bit problematic. So be careful of this during the rainy season. Lunch was delicious and the massage was great, as was out tour guide. I’d recommend giving it a try if you’re looking for a day away from Singapore.
