Reviews: Kota Kinabalu Kawa-Kawa River Cruise Proboscis Monkey & Fireflies with Hi-Tea & Dinner Shared Day Tour
Guest User2025-11-27
Our tour guide was the handsome Jeff! I'd heard so much about him while researching. Meeting him today, he truly lived up to everyone's reputation. He's an "encyclopedic" guide! From the vast world to ancient and modern times, from astronomy to geography, Jeff knows everything. He had a great chat and arranged the itinerary perfectly! We were lucky enough to see proboscis monkeys and fireflies. It was a private tour during the off-season. I highly recommend this trip. The afternoon tea and dinner were simple, but the food was delicious. Everyone from the customer service to the guide was sincere and enthusiastic. Thank you for your company and help. I'd love to work with you again next time!★

Reviews: Kinabalu Park, Poring Hot Spring & Desa Dairy Farm Shared Day Tour
Guest User2025-08-21
I love plants and wanted to see the Rafflesia. I was searching mainly for tours around Kinabalu Park, but this proved to be the most difficult. Some tours only looked at the mountain from afar, and the length of stay varied, making it hard to imagine what kind of tour I was looking for. I had no choice but to decide based on whether the tour included a tour guide and the price.
The tour I joined this time was a great choice!
Our guide, Jeff, was friendly and spoke slowly to us, even though we don't speak English, making it easy to understand. He even joked around, which was fun.
The Korean family on our tour was also very kind.
It started raining in the afternoon, so we only had 20 minutes to explore Kinabalu Park, but the tour, which ended at 17:30, continued until after 18:30. I was very satisfied.
Afterwards, I contacted WHAT UP to find something I had lost, and they even went to the trouble of delivering it to my hotel. I'm so touched by their kindness!
I'm sorry I couldn't thank them in person.
I highly recommend this tour guide.
Finally, when I arrived at the Malaysian airport, I saw many Trip.com advertisements and was reminded once again of how big a company it has become.
