• 1They robbed me blind

  This tour cost me almost 300 dollars! I think they took advantage of me because I was traveling alone Everywhere we went was free entrance. And I had to pay for my own breakfast, lunch and water! John was the best tour guide ever. He knows so much about everything but for the money I paid, it was not worth it.

• 5Great tour - we learned a lot

  Excellent tour with John. Our guide was prompt, informative and helpful. The first half was a walking tour of downtown, including government buildings, squares and parks, but also the historic center with Concubine Lanes and historic shop houses. We also stopped for a visit to the birthplace of a local herbal tea shop that over the years evolved into a well known Hovid pharmaceutical company. John was a fountain of detailed information and anecdotes related to history of every building, establishment and back alley in our path. After a tasty lunch at a local restaurant we continued by car to cave temples in the outskirts of the city. I might addd that caves were “flat” and physically not challenging even for older tourists. The tour started at 8:30 in the morning and ended around 4:30pm, which left plenty of time for other activities on our schedule. Overall, we had a great time and would highly recommend this activity.

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.
