We got back Saturday night. We had a great time and would recommend the family trip to others. The guide, Mike, was very good and we enjoyed all the stops and activities. The first day before the tour we went to Kuantan town and the last day we spent at Swiss Garden before catching our local flight home. Thank you for all planning and information.
