2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better

Reviewed by Anupam S. M, October 2010

The trip entailed two stops at sovenier shops and a stop at the mosque. The time interval at the first two stops was not at all controlled. It seemed that the guide was more focused on encouraging visitors to buy merchandize than giving a tour.

Long tour to see few things. Most of the tour is in the bus and at the customs. However, the Mosque we saw was really beautiful.

Short trip for four customs immigration changeovers. Took considerable time to make the four stops, not just two as we expected even though the lines were very short. Didn't realize either all of the shopping stops on this trip. Viator's description should make that clearer. There was one stop of quality in the 1/2 day trip. Audio equipment on this bus didn't work either. Vendor needs to get better equipment since hearing the guide is important on a tour!

We enjoyed the trip. It was very well conducted by the host. It could be improved by a visit to the grounds of the sultan's residence if this is possible.

This was more of a cultural tour, not exactly sightseeing. But enjoyable.

The tour guide was really good and informative, but I actually expected more. We didn't really see a lot of Malaysia as I wanted. We only had three stops. First was at an art shop where they show you how they dye the clothes; then we went to a random house, not sure why, to see how people lived back in the day; and the only highlight was when we went to see the famous mosque, which was absolutely beautiful, but we didn't get to go inside as it's closed off to tourists.

Once checkpoints were passed, very little time to see the sights.

Too much time spent at tourist trap batik painting and pewter. Would have liked more time at landmarks sites etc. Muslim cemetery was a drive by. The Mosque was definitely worth seeing.

Tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of good cultural information. The actual duration of the tour is limited by the necessity of going through immigration from Singapore into Malaysia and then again in reverse. Do take something to snack on, no eating on the bus since meals are not included. Would recommend a day tour of the same area if your schedule allows for it.

Too many delays at the border and couldn't go inside the mosque.

Cross border curiosity, not worth the effort.
You get to visit somebodies back yard to look at a few different fruit trees and hopefully for the owner, buy some souvenirs. Then you get to walk around the outside of a Mosque and finally you get taken to a shop for a 60 sec demo of batik making and again for the owner, hopefully buy some souvenirs.
If you really need the stamp to show you went to another country go for it, but that's the only reason to do the tour.

The tour guide was very passionate and professional about a tour which is well past it's use by date. Too much unavoidable time in the immigration system compared to too much time spent in run down attractions, if you could them attractions. We have been on dozens of Viator tours in Europe, Asia and NZ, this one is one will wish to forget.

I hate to admit it that this trip was absolutely awful. From no guide and no explanation in Singapore to a terrible guide going to a ridiculous "village", which was nothing more than a store with bored dancers and nothing to offer. Then going to the outside of a mosque and driving through a graveyard before going to another store. What a waste of time, poorly planned, poorly organized and with the worst guide ever once we got to Malaysia...please avoid at all costs!!
