We were in KL on holidays from ireland. We booked trip with company. On morning of trip was collected at appartment from a very kind man called kumpar..a very good tour guide from start to finished,very knowledgeable about all the areas in Cameron island.

Our day trip to Cameron Highlands

Our driver, Kumar, was a very careful and capable driver. He took us to the waterfall, Cameron Valley Tea, Butterfly Farm, Bee Farm and Strawberry Farm. By far the best experiences were the waterfall and the Tea plantation. The others were not very good. Kumar made sufficient rest stops and recommended good stops for food.

Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the waterfall and Cameron Valley Tea plantation, and that Kumar provided safe driving, sufficient rest stops, and excellent food recommendations. We’ll strive to improve the other stops to ensure a better experience next time. Safe travels!

Nope! Nope! Nope!

I had heard so much about Cameron Highland, the majestic tea farms and astonishing nature. At this point I am not sure if it is true at all because what we went through was anything but beautiful. I don’t want to sound dramatic and I usually don’t even care enough to review mediocre experiences but this one was so special. first of all, the driver wasn’t even trying to engage in any conversation or answer any questions without being sarcastic or flat out rude. We started our trip by getting coffee at a gas station. The magic continued with visiting a waterfall, a couple of ugly side-road local shops (the ones that sell everything from plastic toys to baskets to fruits) which were supposedly „vegetable market“ and a couple of „farms“ which were also a mixture of side road shops and had a couple of bee hives, strawberry plants and a handful of caged poor domestic and wild animals. So, there goes the bee farm and strawberry picking! For lunch we were also dropped off at a rode side to go get something to eat and even when we asked for recommendations the driver responded with „I haven’t been in all of them!“ We ended up finding and Indian street food place with friendly staff and tasty food which was kinda the highlight of the trip. Also, probably I had high expectations of a tea farm but at the one we visited there wasn’t any sample tea leaves to smell or try, no explanation, not even a cup of fresh brewed tea to taste. There weren’t even any other tea products other than flavored tea bags to purchase (strawberry, orange, what have you). I don’t want to speak for everyone but tea bags with artificial flavoring is not what I imagine when I go visit a tea plantation. In all these stops the driver just dropped us off, went to smoke and informed us that we have to be back to the car by … minutes. So, that was that.

Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. We value your input and will work on improving the tour and the behavior of our drivers. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your honesty. We’ll take your comments into consideration to provide a better experience for future guests.

If you are spending a limited time in Kuala Lumpur, don't miss this tour

This is an excellent tour if you have not visited the Malaysian country side. Part of the road to the tea plantation is narrow with many curves but the guide/driver was driving safely. His English was also excellent. Unfortunately, the tea plantation factory was not opened but my husband and I enjoyed a cup a tea at the plantation after taking many photos of the fantastic scenery on a walk in the plantation. This tour helped us understand why the highlands are renowned for its varied crops that sometime extend to the side of the road. We also saw many palm tree plantations along the road and drove through a small part of the Malaysian jungle; the jungle noises were amazing.

Response from the operator: "Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your experience with our [tourism/service]. Our team works hard to provide the best service possible, and your feedback is greatly appreciated. We look forward to serving you again in the future. Thanks for choosing us!"

Disappointing

This was easily the most disappointing and expensive trip I have had the misfortune to book. My driver ,who did drive well, came on time, and we set off - I hadn’t realised that it was one on one. He had a mask on the proceeded to cough very badly for the first hour when I asked him whether we should be doing this trip. He said was OK but I became increasingly uncomfortable as the cough and sneezes were persistent. We got as far as the tea plantation which was underwhelming compared to previous tea plantation visits in India. At this point I requested to go back to my hotel and terminate the day. His English was also not good and it was very difficult to hear and understand him. I arrived back at my hotel at 1pm.
