2.Escape to Genting Highlands: Day Tour with Scenic Cable Car Ride

You will have free time for the temple, shops, restaurants, and theme parks. Drivers such as Rajen and Indran have been praised for friendly help, but this works more like a convenient transfer with sightseeing time than a guided tour.

“The cable car ride was a first for us. Very memorable. The pickup wasn't where we were instructed, it was a shame that the driver never pointed out any places of interest along the trip as was advertised. It was still a great experience and many other tourists we met were friendly and made the trip more fun”
