You can tell immediately that he knows the city very well and has a deep knowledge of Kuching, Sarawak, and Malaysia in general. He shared lots of interesting stories and insider tips and took us to some really cool bars that we probably wouldn’t have found on our own. The food was great, the atmosphere was fun and relaxed, and overall it was a fantastic experience. I would definitely recommend this tour.”
