Elisabeth and Alain Wilbois

This e-mail is to express how we enjoyed the trip we had with Henry as driver and guide, all over Malaysia. Henry was very committed in his role: he could show us interesting sites and explain to us topics about history of Malaysia. We can say that we appreciated our trip, for a great part, thanks to Henry.

Perfect balance of activities and rest. Excellent standard of accommodation. Highly efficient organisation and great value for money. Highly knowledgeable and friendly guide that helped to make the Tour for us :-) :-)

Our trip has been amazing. This is our third time in Sri Lanka and possibly my favourite trip. I am already planning my next one.

We have loved our tour and Ranji has made it effortless and very enjoyable. We thank him, and your company for organizing such a fantastic trip fr us. We look forward to coming back!

I would give this 6 stars if the ratings went that high! This really was one of the highlights of our vacation. Due to scheduling issues, we ended up with a separate private tour for my family of 5, which was great given how small the boulangerie was. The tour guide was great and the folks at the boulangerie could not have been nicer or more informative. Lots of great information from the bakers and samples of warm baguettes right out of the oven! I would and probably will someday do this tour again!

The tour guide was great. He was very thorough in explaining the Mayan calendar and gave tons of cool details to the various structures. Very educating and fascinating! We stopped at a Mayan market where the proceeds from the sale go to the local schools and Mayan families .Also stopped for a swim in a cool cenote.
