Reviews: Pink Mosque at Universiti Malaysia Sabah + Kota Kinabalu City Mosque + Tun Mustapha Tower half-day tour
Guest User2025-12-08
The tour guide was incredibly professional and attentive. There were only two of us, and he took photos of us at every attraction – they were even better than the photos we took ourselves! We loved it! 😍 He introduced the sights and even recommended some local seafood at the end. We were extremely satisfied! Five stars! Highly recommended! 👍🏻★
