    We had a wonderful day trip from Singapore to Johur Bahru. Our guide Andy took us to various interesting places, making the day as pleasant as possible. He gave us sufficient time at all spots and was always flexible if needed. In the end, the trip was even better than expected. Note that this trip has to start early because of massive traffic jams at the border later during the day. If you would like to step into Malaysia without driving too long, this is the best option!

    We are in Singapore for a 5 day trip and decided to take one of those days to visit Malaysia. We’re very glad we did as Malaysia was very different from the glitz and glam of Singapore. The highlight of the trip was our guide, Andy Andy is from Malaysia so he was able to provide a true insider’s guide to the country, the history, the culture, the religion/ethnic groups, the food, etc. Malaysia is SO different from Singapore and we found it just fascinating to see these two countries side-by-side. Although the sites of Johor are not as spectacular as the sites of Singapore, they were interesting in their own way. One of us (me) chickened out on the Sky Bridge Walk – a glass floor over 50 stories up! Seeing the huge crown, the symbol of Malaysia, was interesting. We also really enjoyed the trip to the Bamboo Buddhist temple and taking a walk through the bamboo forest. It was very pretty and relaxing. Andy is a great driver and made the border crossings very smooth. So if you’re looking to take a trip out of Singapore for a day, we would highly recommend Andy as your tour guide to the southern tip of Malaysia.

    We had a fantastic day in Johor Bahru with Andy as our guide. Travelling as a family with two young children, we really appreciated his kindness, professionalism, and flexibility. The border crossing from Singapore was quick and easy, and Andy made sure everything ran smoothly. He showed us cultural highlights, treated us to delicious local food, and even included a stop at the Designer Outlet. The visit to his favourite Buddhist temple was a real highlight for us. Andy speaks excellent English and made the whole experience relaxed and memorable. Highly recommended!

    My husband and I had a wonderful time on our tour of Johor Bahru, Malaysia with Andy! He was very prompt picking us and is a great driver! He assisted us with making sure we had all the required documentation for crossing back and forth across the border and was gave us lots of information about his country and it's history! We visited lots of different spots that were all great but one of our favorites was the amazing Buddhist Temple and the Bamboo Forest at Putuo Village! We also enjoyed his recommendations of local food to try at lunch! Overall we had a great time and highly recommend this tour!

    The tour guide drove very carefully, making us very comfortable. He also chose destinations that are not usually accessible on bus tours, and adjusted the time allocation to meet our requests. Regarding with the meals, he initially recommended the hotel buffet, but when we requested a local food court, he took us to a food court where we could enjoy delicious dishes at reasonable prices. It was a very satisfying day.

    Recently, myself and 3 teenagers experienced a private sightseeing tour of Johor Bahru, and I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for an exploration of this vibrant city. We were picked up outfront of our hotel on time. The vehicle provided was impeccably clean and comfortable and we felt safe with the driving throughout the trip. Our guide was not only friendly and approachable, but also incredibly knowledgeable about Johor Bahru's history, culture, and hidden gems. His ability to speak multiple languages was also a huge plus, making communication seamless. Our guide was able to be flexibility and accommodate minor variations to the itinerary to suit our needs. He even offered valuable recommendations for local food and shopping, showing a genuine passion for showcasing the best of Johor Bahru. The tour itself was well-paced and covered a diverse range of attractions, from historical landmarks to modern marvels. We were given ample time to explore each location, take photos, and soak in the atmosphere. The driver's insights enhanced our understanding of each site, making the experience far more meaningful than a simple drive-by. The private sightseeing tour of Johor Bahru exceeded my expectations. The combination of a comfortable vehicle, a friendly and informative driver, and a well-planned itinerary made for an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a personalized and enriching way to discover Johor Bahru, I highly recommend booking this tour. You won't be disappointed!

It feels like you spend time with someone you know for very long time. Pick up from the hotel is prompt ad well as drop off. Booking this trip was the best decision I’ve made during our trip to Singapore as Johor Bahru is very close. Andy has done an amazing tour introducing Malaysia to us. Highly recommend it.
