    Ankur's 9 days trip to Penang

    I had an awesome trip to Dubai & Abu Dhabi. My whole itinerary was well planned by Himanshu and there was no delay in communication regarding any fact. The tour guides were highly courteous and helpful in answering questions. The hotels were super good and was in the center of the city. I am highly
    pleased with the entire arrangement. Awesome Trip

    Rohit Tambakhe

    Bengaluru

    Rohit's 8 days trip to Penang

    Everything was great until we reached Malaysia. The driver, Happy Josan—an Indian man pretending to be Malaysian—was extremely rude. He drove recklessly at speeds of 130-140 km/h and was always in a hurry. Because of him, we couldn’t properly explore Kuala Lumpur, had to cut short our Sunway Lagoon
    visit without experiencing key attractions, and faced a similar situation in Genting Highlands due to his impatience. On the other hand, Ajit Pal Sir and Arjan Sir were kind and courteous. We requested a change of driver to either of them, but despite our request, Hiralal Ji still assigned us Happy Josan. If you are considering these drivers for a Malaysia tour, be aware of these issues.

    Our trip to Malaysia with Abroad Vacations was well-organized, and we appreciated the team's support and timely updates. We had some great experiences, but certain aspects felt a bit rushed, and communication could have been smoother. Overall, a good trip with memorable moments, though a bit more fl
    exibility would have made it even better.
