We did a 5 day tour of the west coast with Lawrence and learned so much about Malaysian history and society. I appreciate how quick he was to respond in the months leading up to the tour as he worked with us to create a personalized itinerary. During the tour, he continued to make adjustments based on our preferences. One of the best tours we've ever had! Thank you Lawrence!
Well...what can I say about Lawrence, our guide, chauffeur and local encyclopedia for our 10 day tour of Malaysia. The thing that swayed us towards Lawrence was the detailed itinerary that he provided very early in the whole process. It was nice to have a plan of the things we were going to see and a rough estimate of time etc so that we could also make some alterations, ask questions to refine the itinerary. Overall, Lawrence was very knowledgeable on the local history, loves his local food, not to mention the local fruit Durian, which to us Australians has an acquired smell which we never got used to for our whole trip, happy not to smell that fruit ever again. He also drives a beautiful car that transforms into a rally car when needed, but I worked out later that is how people drive in Malaysia. I think you will be happy with Lawrence as your tour guide, nothing was a hassle.
Excellent tour guide. You can tell Lawrence enjoys and cares about what he is doing. He helped us to customize the itinerary of our 7-day trip. Would highly recommend his service.
Lawrence has exceptional knowledge in all the tour sites in all 4 cities that we visited. He was very friendly and flexible. He provided us his personal experience and based on our preferences to select the sites that we would enjoy. We enjoyed tremendously the local food and street vendors we experienced. We highly recommend Lawarence to anyone who wants to get an overview of Malaysia.
Lawrence was an insightful guide who inspired our trip. He kept introducing new and different concepts to every portion of the itinerary . He personal stories of the "National Emergency" and the economic development to the region allowed us to have a better understanding of the culture. I would recommend him without reservation.
Lawrence was a wonderful tour guide and we booked a higher end, air conditioned vehicle which proved indispensable for escaping the heat. We started out with a Trishaw ride across town--how fun! He knew just the right places to venture for when we needed a break from the heat, a quick trip for some drinks or some cheap shopping. He also left us with expansive knowledge of where else to visit and shop for the remaining days of our vacation in Penang. Thank you for a wonderful tour!
