A great authentic experience, Love it ! Samar Kattan

The trip was well-organized by Daniel who give us all necessary information about itinerary. Our two days were full of new experiences. We asked if it is possible to do Semenggoh in the morning on our first day and they arranged it for us. Afterwards we had a homestay experience at a locals house and they were really friendly to us. We went with them to a couple of waterfalls, walking through the jungle and to places where there are no tourists at all. Read more from TripAdvisor
