We booked a full-day private tour and John was our guide.
We appreciate how he customized the tour for us (there were several tourist attractions we did not wish to visit) and enlivened the tour with his in-depth knowledge of Ipoh's history and how it impacted the city and surrounding region.
It was a really interesting day.
Thanks! :)

It was a last minute decision to take up this pte heritage tour, and we were glad we did. Our guide was Simon. He was pleasant, polite, patient and was flexible enough to adcede to the change in itinerary. Due to expected thunderstorm in the afternoon, we requested to do swap the morning old town tour with the afternoon caves tour. The tour went smoothly. The caves were beautiful, esp like the Kek Lok Tong cave. Due to Qingming Jie, we went to Perak cave instead. Lunch was at a buzzy unpretentious coffee shop for an absolutely delicious Yong Tau Foo lunch. We decided take a cursory look at Kellie Castle from outside, and then proceeded to Pomelo plantation, an extra "complimentary" stop! Afternoon was a quick run in the rain through the old town. Highly rec this tour to provide a quick overview of Ipoh's key attractions!

Booked a full day heritage tour from Ipoh Secret on 15 Mar 23. We had John as our guide for the day.
Overall experience was very good. John was very knowledgeable in explaining the history during the guided tour. (The kids really learnt a lot) We went to places such as Kellie Castle, Ho Yat Ho Museum, and Concubine Lane. John was also helpful in sourcing the perfect place for our meals. Love the Yong Tau Foo.
John went an extra mile in helping us sourced for a less crowded breakfast place for the next day, which we really appreciated.
Please keep up the good work buddy!
