Top outing but very mediocre guide
Beautiful landscapes excursion to do. on the other hand not pleasant guide, no explanations, leaves you at a place telling you such time such meeting point. Explanations on what to take or not to take on either at the last moment when getting off the bus, we were all caught off guard. Top outing, very mediocre guide

A very well conducted excursion
We had a very nice day with our very friendly Francophone guide Eye. The tour was perfectly organized, from pick-up to drop-off, with several well-chosen stops and plenty of time to enjoy the stunning scenery of Cheow Lan.
