Good for all ages. He recommended we stop by Ghent and off we went! He is funny, compassionate, and really wants his customers to enjoy their day. You will not get a better guide.

5.Batu Caves & Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 21 reviews · 7 hours · from $63

Climb 272 steps to the Hindu temple, see rescued elephants, and learn about their care from an English-speaking driver. Deerland Park is also included. Pickup is available at selected Golden Triangle hotels.

“- elephant sanctuary was een mooie ervaring, aan te raden om voor 10 rm achter de kooien te gaan met de parkverzorgers. - gids vertelde bijzonder weinig, en was vrij dwingend in zijn omgang. - batu cave bezoek voldoet niet aan omschrijving, zo is er maar een half uur, net genoeg voor een foto, en geen tijd om de grotten zelf te bezoeken - de herten dierentuin voegt weinig toe aan de trip.”
