About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Curiosity053414143960 contributionsGreat Tour by Ivy Holidays and Mr Sasi in particularThe trip was exciting. Kota Melawati was great. We never rode a tram before, and that was unique one for us. The monkey feeding experience was amazing. The history shared by Mr Sasi was beyond words. He did his research well and well equipped with the knowledge. The dinner was the highlight of the trip. The foods were delicious and scrumptious. And of course, the main show. The speedboat and the firefly. Lifetime experience that was memorable. Thank you for your great service Mr Sasi, our tour guide and Mr Ravi, our captain aka our bus driver. Not to forget, Mr Sasi was such an amazing photographer.Written 16 September 2024

- 407meilit0 contributionsWorth your time and moneyIt was our first time in Malaysia and we really wanted to see the tourist spots in the country so we decided to book a tour from Ivy Holidays, it was our first time joining a join in tour as well so we’re kind of hesitant at first but decided to book it anyway to save money. Boy, we’re glad we did!! Everything was truly a smooth, wonderful experience. Call time was between 9am to 9:15am, we left the pick up point on time then went to see Batu Cave, a side trip to a local shop then on to see Genting Highlands thru cable car. Our tour guide (Sir Balan), was very knowledgeable, kind and approachable. He gave us clear instructions and information regarding the place so everything was a breeze. He always remind us of the do’s and don’ts to avoid trouble and so we were left nothing but good memories. Our driver was also very careful on the road, he’s a jolly person and was kind enough to drop us off near the Petronas Tower which we all appreciated since it was drizzling that time. Ivy Holiday really gave us a bang for our buck!! Thank you and may you have more tours to come!!Written 8 September 2024

I would highly recommend the tour to anyone who wants to take a break from the city. Thi Va was the tour guide and he explained everything we were doing and told us stories and facts of all the places we went to. I am a solo traveler and he made sure I was okay for the entire trip. He was very welcoming and friendly, and great driver. The area is also much cooler than KL which made walking around easier. Do keep in mind that the roads to Cameron Highlands are winding and will give a word of caution to anyone who gets car sick easily.

Amazing tour to the Cameron Highlands starting from KL. Our tour guide Chandra welcomed us heartily in the morning on time with a nice air-conditioning mini-van. He drove us very carefully up the 3hours journey on narrow roads and we stopped on the way to the waterfall, very authentic original villages for food stops, before reaching 2 wonderful tea plantations and factory, the strawberry farm with delicious strawberry milkshake, having delicious lunch at the golf restaurant's balcony and much more. We will definitely book a tour again and only can recommend this tour to everyone!

First of all: Raja was a nice driver.
I think if you are in KL only three days, I wouldn‘t recommend doing the tour as you drive over 8 hours (4h to get there, 4h to get back), 4h being there. When you’re there for at least a week I think it’s okay to do the tour.
It was nice to see the rainforest and the tea plantation but my heart broke when we went to the „butterfly and insect farm“ which included a zoo with suffering animals! This is not part of the advertised package. If they would have advertised a zoo in general I wouldn’t have gone so I think it’s misleading. I nearly cried when I saw the big turtle in the teeny tiny tank without anything in there but water?!? Two meercats in a small plastic / glass cage with one small house and nothing to do. Even cats in a cage, a big peacock in a tiny cage in which it couldn’t even turn around properly. I strongly recommend that the operator changes the tour and leaves this farm out of it! With the money for your trip you help the zoo and you support animal abuse :(

We were picked up right on time by our Thiva and it turned out that we were the only people on our tour, making it a private tour.
The drive to Cameron Highlands is long and a good part of it is on very narrow, winding roads. We were fine but I would caution those sensitive to motion sickness.
The tea plantations were a highlight, as was the butterfly farm. As others have noted, there are many stops on this tour though I think it would have been better to communicate the estimated lunch time early on so that we could cut out some stops (I would have cut out the market and strawberry farm) or spend less time at each stop. Eating at 2 pm was too late for us, even though we had a chance to get a snack at the tea plantation.
There were plenty of opportunities to buy souvenirs or goods but I never felt pressured to buy like you do on some tours. We returned to the hotel over 12 hours later, making it a really full day. They’re pretty insistent on asking you to leave a review of the tour during the actual drive back, but overall we enjoyed our day out of the city.

If you want to see Cameron Highlands from KL - this is a great way. It was a full 12 hour trip there and back, really good value for money. It was spaced out really well with stops and we saw LOADS, all of which was included in the price. Mr Tan our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly and made the day.

First of all I would like to mention that the tour guide was fantastic, but the tour itself is quite poor.
It is about sitting the whole time in the bus, visiting lousy “farms”. The bee farm was just a miny garden to walk trough, not much to see. In the butterfly farm there is a minizoo with animals kept under unethical conditions. Rabbits, goats etc. just lying on the concrete floor, looking really sick - not nice to see animals like this.
The strawberry farm was a disappointment, promoted with “pick your own strawberries” we arrived there got one strawberry to taste and could visit the strawberry farm, no picking was allowed, as “season is over”. Why not choosing another agenda point instead of letting people sit around for 30-40min at a strawberry farm where you can literally do and see nothing. Who wants to walk through a strawberry garden for 30min if not allowed to pick any?
Anyway, the prices for self picking are completely mad as well. 40 MYR per 500grams. This is 17 EUR per kilogram, that’s insane.
The waterfall was not really special either.
The tea plantation provided some great and picturesque views, however I was hopong to see more of those views, so to actually see the Cameron Highlands, to be able to walk around a bit with Highland view, but the locations where we have stopped were not like you would imagine imbedded in highland hills.
I was really expecting to see the Highlands and to be able to walk around and enjoy the views while seeing some butterflies, bees, picking strawberries.
The lunch was good. It was served at a golf course restaurant, with golf course view.
I would really not recommend taking this tour to anybody who would like to see the beauty of nature over there, because that you won’t see.

This is our second time using Ivy Holidays for our tours and we had Raja as our driver.
What a wonderful man, thoughtful and attentive to our needs. Raja was very knowledgeable and we felt safe with his driving at all time, even when he was navigating the winding roads to the Cameron Highlands.
It was very interesting day and we enjoyed the tea planation, butterfly park, the tasty curry lunch at the golf club and the tranquilIty of the waterfalls.
I would recommend to doing this tour with Ivy Holidays and you won’t be disappointed

Malaysia's largest (and second largest) tea plantation, the Sultan's choicest golf course, a full colony of bees, a native blowing darts at a teddy bear, a stick bug, a leaf bug, countless butterflies, and a waterfall are all things you will see on this day trip from KL. There's also plenty of extras like cactus shopping and visiting local market full of fruits and veggies to taste. The drive to and from KL is curvy and long, and may not be for those that get motion sick, but our driver and guide Thiva made it comfortable. Aside from all the sites, the guide told us about some Malaysia history and how the Cameron Highlands came to be. He was available to answer any questions and was polite and professional throughout the day.
Weekdays (instead of holiday or weekend) is recommended to avoid crowds and traffic. I attached a photo of the included Indian set lunch which was decent (there were also numerous other options to purchase snacks throughout the day, including local strawberries and honey). This trip is an excellent value and a highly recommended way to spend a day.

Really good value for your money. Mr. Tan is the best tour guide you could have! Highly recommend him! We were picked up on time 7am on a coach bus, 20 of us total. We were dropped back off at our respective hotels at almost 8pm. It's a four hours drive each way, with a breakfast/bathroom stop in the morning. The drive goes by quick as Mr. Tan provided us with history and interesting facts about the Cameron Highlands and Malaysia in general.
The Cameron Highlands are absolutely stunning. The trip is worth it just for the tea plantation alone. The strawberry and bee farms were okay, quaint... but the butterfly garden was a pleasant surprise!
We made a pitstop at a waterfall which allowed me the opportunity to try durian from a street vendor (the only place I was able to try it my entire time spent in Malaysia!) so this was a special bonus treat :)
HUGE shoutout to the bus driver who maneuvered us on the steep/scary road down from the highlands!
