Malaysia Reviews

Review 1

What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?

So many to choose from...Hiking around rice paddies and spectacular scenery whilst staying with hilltribes and engaging in local practices like drinking rice whisky.Drifting around Halong Bay and eating the best seafood I have ever eaten caught fresh off the boat. My eyes being opened to the atrocities that occured in Cambodia at the Tuol Sleng prison and torture center. Getting a sense of what it was like to be a Viet Cong soldier crawling around the tunnels in Cuchi while it was pouring with rain. Going with "Mr Handsome" and Handsome sandwiches and laundry to watch ringside Thai boxing on Ko Penang.

What did you think of your tour leader?

Excellent, they all go out of their way to ensure you have the best possible experience.

Do you feel your holiday benefited local people?

Absolutely, as we were taken to more out of the way places we got to support the local economies there.

Do you feel that you got under the skin of a country?

Definately.Prior to trying an Imaginative Traveller trip I always thought it better to do independent travel but both trips I have done I got to have experiences and see places I never would have if I had gone to that country on my own.

What advice would you give to other travellers?

Although taking an imaginative trip may seem expensive at first when compared to organising it yourself, you get to experience so much more with the experienced guides who have been there and done that.
