1 Review by TourRadar travelers“The whole trip was excellent. Also as we finished the tour a day earlier and did not have the farewell meal or stay the final night are we not due a refund?”
Wayne, traveled in October
Malaysia unfolds at an unhurried pace with comfortable stays at Melia Kuala Lumpur and Areca Hotel Penang. Visits to Malacca's Dutch Square, afternoon tea in Cameron Highlands, and gentle trishaw rides through Georgetown's heritage streets create a cultural mosaic.

What people love about Malaysia Tours for Seniors
I had an awesome adventure, learnt a lot, was ‘very lucky’ to see alot of wildlife - including the proboscis monkey, crocodiles, orangutans, plenty of bird life, and also experienced the hatching of some green sea turtles. There is ‘No Guarantee’ on what animals you will see but on our tour we were ‘very lucky’ to have Albert who came through with the goods. Thank you Albert for making my first trip to Borneo East Sabah tour an unforgettable one. Thanks mate!!!!!!
