We made the booking in Viator thinking it is reliable and we had to pay in advance which is just fine. But the operator, RIYAS TRAVEL MALAYSIA, called and said they don't have driver and will try to get one, 30 mins after sched they cancelled and said refund will be given, to this date 10 days after no refund and not even advise on status. VERY DISAPPOINTING at least refund if you can't give us the tour you advertised.

the tour is fruitful and the schedule is quite tight. The first viewpoint is a cave inside of a mountain and we enjoy the path quite much, as the lights are simple but able to show the environment correctly. The rests of the views are temples of chinese-style. they are quite beautiful and stylish and all of them are built in caves that make them special.

The guide is a very open and nice person. His name is Muhammad. He guided us into the gua tempurung cave for an hour. And we walked around the rest temples by ourselves. He knows a lot about Malaysia sightseeing places and it is such a great experience having him travelling together.
For the lunch, basically you can ask him to take you to any nearby places or ask for his recommendation.
