We had some great guides and saw some wonderful places that we wouldn't have known about if it wasn't for our planner Nick. Kuching cycle tour is definitely worth a go, not too strenuous but a great overview and our guide Kelvin was brilliant. We were very happy to have done 2 nights at Bako national park as there was so much to see that would be missed in a one day visit. Beautiful fauna, lots of monkeys and other animals to see. A highlight was... Read more

Hey Emma,
Thanks for your kind review. It has put a smile on my face. It's good to read you enjoyed two nights at Bako, which indeed has a lot to offer.
I will let Saloma know you loved the experience at her homestay!

An amazing and memorable trip to Melaka & KL!
Faida was great from start to end - patient in developing a perfect itinerary, regular updates and a very clear process. Then on hand (with Ieqa) to answer any queries during the trip.
Our local driver & guides (Vikram, Sha, Eddie, Fuad & Eddie) were wonderful, offering deep local insight and genuine friendship.
One minor factor is allowing & being prepared for longer transit times if travelling by car in and around KL.
An unforgettable experience, thank you to Faida & team ❤️

Thank you for your kind review. I enjoyed organising your trip to Malaysia and it means a lot you had a good time in this beautiful country. I have taken note on the transit time to make it a bit longer for future travellers. We are just afraid if time doesn't permit for the next places to be visited in the lists. Nevertheless, we will discuss this with our guides on how to improve the situation. Send my regards to Ian as well and I hope that in future you would have more... Read more

Overall the trip was well thought out and paced. Our dealings with Nick were professional and he imparted his local knowledge of the area to us very well.
Just some things of note: Kuching - A Ranee Boutique suites - great location, room and attention to detail. The breakfast of Nasi Lamak was beautiful presented in a atmospheric space. Saloma’s Homestay - a wonderful introduction to life in Sarawak. Family life, cuisine simple country space... Read more

We wouldn't stay at the Ranee Boutique Hotel again. The room itself was OK but the breakfast is very average - weak orange juice, weak filter coffee, only bananas if you wanted fruit for breakfast (most other places at least have watermelon, pineapple or papaya.

Hey Sarah,
Thanks for your review and detailed feedback. I am happy to read you managed to see quite a lot of wildlife and had a good time in Kuching and surroundings. I'll make sure to pass on your comments to Farhah and John - they'll be happy to read your comments.

I found trying to book a trip online to Borneo Rainforest Lodge really difficult until I found Nick at KimKim. I am positive it was not the cheapest way to go about it but it was worth it for me to not have to be constantly chasing quotes etc and I felt like Nick had the right connections to make it a smooth trip.

Thank you for a wonderful trip! Jassie, our driver, was terrific. So personable and helpful. We really enjoyed both the river excursion and sea setting. It was wonderful to be taken such good care of - transfers were super efficient and always on time.
Nick did an excellent job of creating an itinerary that suited us. He was incredibly responsive as well - even when we had a question while at Sukau Rainforest Lodge.
The staff at both Sukau River Lodge and Lankayan Dive Resort were all wonderfully helpful and kind. Wendy, the dive master, was especially helpful!
