Lucas is a great guide. He is friendly and always eager to entertain us. He has excellent driving skills, is comfortable even on mountain roads, and drives efficiently so that travel time is not wasted. He was flexible in responding to our requests for the course. A lookout point overlooking the majestic Mount Kinabalu. Desa Farm overlooks Mount Kinabalu with a wide, open atmosphere (as other reviews have said, the farm itself is not a particularly noteworthy experience, but the view is great. The ice cream is also delicious). At Poring Hot Springs, we enjoyed about an hour of trekking, including a canopy walk, and beautiful waterfalls. We were also lucky to find three botanical gardens where Rafflesia was blooming, and Lucas told us the number and size of the Rafflesia at each location, and whether they were just blooming or dying, so we were able to see two fresh, perfectly sized Rafflesia. Finally, we had some time left, so we stopped by the Fish Park. The experience of seeing fish as big as carp swarming around our feet was both fun and scary, and it became a good memory that all of my friends screamed and enjoyed themselves. [Note] The price does not include entrance fees to various tourist spots or lunch, so please make sure you have a flexible budget. (Per person) We spent RM60 for the nature park with Poring Hot Springs and the canopy walk, RM30 for the Rafflesia Botanical Garden, RM10 for the fish park, RM15 for lunch at a local restaurant, and RM6.5 for ice cream, although admission to Desa Farm is free. Of course, you should give a generous tip to your wonderful guide. [Note 2] After applying, your reservation will be confirmed immediately, but the official schedule will be sent to you the day before the tour. Don't worry and wait for a response. Our tour started at 7:30. If you are staying at a hotel in the suburbs, the start time may be earlier or later.

The guide is very informative and helpful. We changed our itinerary to skip Pekan Nabalu & Jambatan Tamparuli. My mother is almost 70, so we can't walk/visit to too many places due to her health but the guide is uderstanding enough to change the itinerary to accomodate us. We went to Desa Dairy Farm then we went to have lunch at Hooga Cafe per my request and end the trip at Filipin Market for shopping. The transportation is clean and comfortable. The guide was on time to arrive at our hotel at 7.30am as scheduled and we were back by 3pm. We feel safe, comfortable and relaxed through out the journey. Definitely recommended.

Rasidin, one of the best drivers we've ever met. Very efficient service overall. We were right on time for the itinerary that we planned for. Also, Rasidin stepped in and helped us out with ticketing issue that we were facing on one of our stops. He was quite flexible as well with our timing and allowed us to eat in the van as long as it was not messy! For this trip, we managed to visit the Borneo Ant House, Tuaran Crocodile Farm, Bungalio Hill Glass Bridge at Tamparuli & Hillside Kokol Cafe. The van was comfortable and clean. We also had several shopping, and we were allowed to keep it in the van while we visit the attraction sites, so we did not have to keep bringing heavy stuffs! Our father was chatty but Rasidin was very friendly and entertained us very well despite the long trip. Our family enjoyed this service. Highly recommended!
