• 5Ipoh caves and temples

  We had a great day out with Jai. He was the perfect host and was so knowledgeable about the caves and temples. We also had a delicious lunch at a venue that he recommended. I would certainly use Jai Tours services again and we were very happy with our whole tour.

• 5The Best of Ipoh.

  My wife Rosemarie and I enjoyed an amazing day tour of Ipoh under the expert guidance of our host & driver Rajan. The full day tour lasted from 9.00am to 5.30pm and was packed with incredible sights & experiences. Rajan was professional, knowledgeable and passionate about history and all the places we visited. From the majestic beauty of the cave temples to the fascinating story and products at HOGA holistic gaharu, from the serene beauty of the mirror lake to the breathtaking splendour of the gua temperung limestone caves, we can't speak highly enough of the experience and would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in Ipoh's rich and fascinating history. Rajan not only shared many stories with us, he was also keen to learn about our life stories and experiences which made this a much more intimate tour compared to the usual tour guide lectures.

• 5Brilliant day out!

  Yesterday we had the pure delight in having Rajan aka John take us on adventure through cave temples, up winding steps to see beautiful vistas. Watched monkeys playing in the trees... saw colourful temples and floated across mirror lakes. We sang songs in cathedral like caves, and wondered at a colonial castle. Rajan had a wealth of knowledge about Ipoh and its rich history. He even took us to get some authentic food cooked in clay pots over charcoal on the way back to our hotel. I highly recommend this tour and thank Rajan for his good sense of humour, brilliant taste in music and professionalism in carrying out the tour!

About Ipoh

Ipoh is the capital of Perak, a former tin town in Malaysia ringed by limestone hills, with cave temples, colonial buildings, murals and white coffee.

Ipoh grew rich on the tin of the Kinta Valley, and the money left a cluster of colonial-era buildings in the old town, among them the Moorish-style railway station, the town hall and the High Court. The town lies on the Kinta River under steep limestone hills. Narrow lanes of shophouses are now cafés and galleries, with street murals on many walls.
