TOUR: Multi-Day Tour in Malaysia by Car for Lynnda/Darren C.
Well...what can I say about Lawrence, our guide, chauffeur and local encyclopedia for our 10 day tour of Malaysia. The thing that swayed us towards Lawrence was the detailed itinerary that he provided very early in the whole process. It was nice to have a plan of the things we were going to see and a rough estimate of time etc so that we could also make some alterations, ask questions to refine the itinerary.
Overall, Lawrence was very knowledgeable on the local history, loves his local food, not to mention the local fruit Durian, which to us Australians has an acquired smell which we never got used to for our whole trip, happy not to smell that fruit ever again. He also drives a beautiful car that transforms into a rally car when needed, but I worked out later that is how people drive in Malaysia.
I think you will be happy with Lawrence as your tour guide, nothing was a hassle.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE:
Thank you for the awesome review! I am thrilled you survived Lawrence's 'rally driving' and managed to dodge the durian! I am glad you enjoyed the tour (and even more glad you didn’t run off at the first whiff of that infamous fruit!). I hope to see you again - just let me know if we should leave the durians out next time!
