    This was not a tour trip but a one way drop off trip from KL to Cameron Highlands with Mr Sathesh. Although this was not a tour, Mr Sathesh was very polite courteous and informative . Would recommend.

    Our final adventure with Sathia, and wow—what a way to wrap things up! After two epic days, we didn’t think she could top it, but of course, she did. First stop: The Military Museum at Port Dickson. Who knew history could be this cool? Sathia brought the past to life with her stories, making us feel like we were on a time-traveling mission. Tanks, tunnels, and tales of heroism—definitely not your average museum visit! After feeling all strategic and heroic, we hit the beach for some well-deserved playtime. Sun, sand, and laughter—what more could we ask for? (Besides maybe more time!) Then came the grand finale: a breathtaking sunset cruise. Picture this—calm waters, golden skies, and the perfect ocean breeze. Sathia, as always, made sure everything was smooth sailing (literally!), making it the most magical moment of the trip. And just when we thought it was over, we wrapped up with an incredible seafood dinner—because no great adventure ends on an empty stomach! Three days with Sathia, and we’ve laughed, learned, explored, and made memories that will last a lifetime. She’s not just a guide—she’s a storyteller, an adventure planner, and an all-around legend. Sathia, you’ve officially spoiled us for all future trips. Thank you for the best time ever!
