Thanks Mike for letting us visit Cameron Highlands. Excellent driver, he made us visit some beautiful places and eat great food and try new fruits. I recommend Mike to everyone as a guideGrazie Mike per averci fatto visitare Cameron Highlands. Ottimo driver, ci ha fatto visitare dei bellissimi posti e mangiare ottimo cibo e provare nuovi frutti. Consiglio a tutti Mike come guida

There is a reason Jai is number 1 tour guide in IPOH, he gave absolutely the best day trip we have had for many years, knew his subject knowledge, he cared we had a good day and made sure we did, you may be able to book cheaper, but you won’t be able to book better

We had a fantastic day trip with Jai! Would thoroughly recommend him if you want to explore the Highlands!He planned out the day perfectly to minimise traffic and chose the activities well (tea plantations, gardens, waterfalls) based on our interests. Lunch was delicious and included in the cost, as was all admission and a number of extra treats and stops.Most of all he was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and we learned a huge amount. He’s clearly been working in the area a while and knows everyone, meaning we got to meet a lot of people and learn about a lot of perspectives we definitely would have missed without him.Cannot recommend this enough!

The best tour from Ipoh to Cameron Highlands with the best tour guys!! Thank you very much

Wow what a day! This is something you must book if you are staying in Ipoh. We had the most incredible day at the tea plants, orchid centre and looking at the water fall.

He was warm, friendly and kind. Mike did everything to ensure we had a special day and he was part of making it so special

Had a really fantastic day tour to Cameron Highlands with Jai. Thank you Jai! His knowledge is incredible, and he clearly has a huge passion for what he does. He is a fount of all knowledge!The vehicle he used was really comfortable for 6 of us, communication before was very good (sent details and photos of the car so pick up at hotel was really easy).He adapted the schedule to enable us to make additional stops (memory lane trip for some of our group), and Jai arranged lunch stop at a venue they had been to as children.Jai knew lots of staff / people at each of the stop offs. At each stop he was really considerate of mobility issues and made sure we were very close to the entrance.We had a fabulous day, and couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable guide. Thank you!

We had an absolutely fantastic day with Mike on our tour! From the moment he picked us up at our hotel, he set a warm, welcoming tone for the whole day.Mike is extraordinarily knowledgeable. Throughout the drive, he shared fascinating insights into the history of Ipoh and gave us a deep, rich appreciation for the origins of Malaysia’s diverse cultures.The trip to the tea hills was a major highlight. Mike constantly added rich background context to everything we saw, teaching us all about how the tea hills came to be. Stopping by the local markets to browse the fresh fruits, snacks, and street food was equally wonderful and gave us a true taste of local life. The visit to the garden showed us many of the native plants to Malaysia which we never saw before.Navigating the roads up there is no easy feat, they are filled with endless twists and turns but Mike handled those roads like a champ. We felt completely safe and comfortable the entire time.To top it all off, Mike arranged for us to try fresh durians straight from the native Malays in the jungle. It was a completely unique, authentic, and memorable experience that blew all the expensive "graded" commercial durians out of the water!We couldn't have asked for a better driver, guide, or companion for the day. Highly recommend booking with Mike!

We chose the 10-hour tour with lunch included. Our guide, Mike, picked us from our hotel on time and took us to all the stops on the itinerary. Along the way, he made a few extra stops to let us admire some more scenic views and have a look at the stalls selling local products (also food). During the tour, Mike gave us an excellent overview of the region and the history of tea in the Cameron Highlands. I highly recommend booking the tea plantation tour through Jai ultimate tour

Very nice tour guides that was very knowledgable and showed us all the nice spots. Helped us try all kinds of food we had never tasted.

We had the pleasure of experiencing a private tour to the Cameron Highlands with Jai, and we could not have wished for a better guide!Jai came to pick us up directly at the hotel and accompanied us to discover the Cameron Highlands with great passion, availability, and attention. He introduced us not only to the most beautiful and famous places, but also to the most authentic corners of the area, telling us about the local history, culture, and traditions in a truly interesting way.One of the things we appreciated most was the opportunity to discover local markets, far from the more touristy paths, where we were able to taste fruits, foods, and snacks typical of the area. Thanks to Jai, we had a much more authentic experience, truly getting in touch with the local reality.We also had the pleasure of stopping for lunch at a typical local Chinese restaurant, a truly pleasant experience that allowed us to taste traditional dishes and experience the atmosphere of the place even more. This choice was also perfectly in line with the spirit of the tour: discovering the Cameron Highlands not only through its places, but also through its flavors and traditions.It was a personalized, pleasant, and never banal tour, made even more special by Jai's friendliness and kindness. You can tell that he loves his territory and cares about showing it to his guests in the best way possible.Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Jai, for this beautiful day and for helping us discover the Cameron Highlands with different eyes! We absolutely recommend this private tour to anyone who wants to have an authentic, complete, and unforgettable experience.

We spent a wonderful day in the Cameron Highlands thanks to our guide, Jai.The tour was private and Jai came to pick us up directly at the hotel, making everything simple and organized from the beginning. Throughout the day, he was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and passionate: he didn't just take us to the most beautiful places, but explained the history, curiosities, and secrets of each spot, allowing us to truly appreciate what we were visiting.In addition to his professionalism, Jai is a truly fun, kind, and attentive person to his guests. He made us feel pampered throughout the experience and always tried to meet our every need with a smile.If you are looking for a tour of the Cameron Highlands that is authentic, relaxing, and full of information, we absolutely recommend Jai. He made this day one of the best moments of our trip to Malaysia!

Well-organized day with our friendly and very competent guide/driver Rajan!

We had a nice and very informative day. Our driver Rajan picked us up on time and informed us in advance about the most important things. He adapted the activities to our needs and we were able to learn a lot. The trip is highly recommended we would do it again and again with Rajan. Thanks a lot. The German Girls.

My husband, sister and I spent two days touring with Jai, doing both the Best of Cameron Highlands Tour and the Best of Ipoh Tour, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience!From the moment we met Jai, it felt like we were exploring with a friend rather than just a tour guide. He's incredibly friendly, easy to talk to, and so knowledgeable about both the Cameron Highlands and Ipoh. We loved hearing the stories behind each place we visited and learning about the local culture, history, and food along the way.What really stood out was how personalized everything felt. Jai took the time to get to know us, was happy to answer all of our questions, and made sure we had the best possible experience. Everything ran so smoothly, and it was clear how much thought and care he puts into every tour.These two days were some of the highlights of our time in Malaysia, and we're so grateful we chose Jai Ultimate Tours. If you're looking for a guide who is passionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about giving you an unforgettable experience, we can't recommend Jai enough!

It was so lovely to have Jai as our tour guide! The Cameron Highlands tour was jam packed with so many amazing stops! Jai was so knowledgeable and passionate about what he was showing us. I very much would recommend these tours as it is an easy way to see all the sights around Ipoh and to get the best quality information.
