Booked a full day heritage tour from Ipoh Secret on 15 Mar 23. We had John as our guide for the day.

Overall experience was very good. John was very knowledgeable in explaining the history during the guided tour. (The kids really learnt a lot) We went to places such as Kellie Castle, Ho Yat Ho Museum, and Concubine Lane. John was also helpful in sourcing the perfect place for our meals. Love the Yong Tau Foo.

John went an extra mile in helping us sourced for a less crowded breakfast place for the next day, which we really appreciated.

Please keep up the good work buddy!

9 March 2023 6.20am in the morning, John picked us at Kinta Riverside Hotel. We bit the morning traffic and arrived Lenggong Valley at around 7.30am for a coffee shop breakfast. We were then proceed to our UNESCO Archaeological Heritage tour.

The heritage tour guide could not speak much other languages except Malay. John assisted in translation and provided additional insight and helped our senior folks to complete the adventure. We were told tha our 73 year old participant was the oldest that the tour had ever received!

John took us to Kuala Kangsar for lunch and visited the royal town of Perak before heading back to hotel.

We thanked John for his friendliness, patience and professionalism.

We're glad you enjoy the tour and are lucky that the soil is a lot drier compared to a few days before where the group had some lich bites. You all came out unbitten! :)

We had a great time in the 1-day private tour led by John, our tour guide, visiting Ipoh old town, beautiful limestone caves, and the ionic Kellie's Castle. John was friendly and helpful throughout, sharing his knowledge on the history and culture of the various attractions and helping us take many photos throughout the day. Overall, it was an awesome experience and we highly recommend John as your tour guide for your next trip to Ipoh!

We booked a last minute four days tour package with Ipoh Secrets because we were travelling with young children that required customised itinerary. This turned out to be the best decision for our family trip! John, our assigned tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful and accommodating. Words cannot express our appreciation and satisfaction and I would highly recommend John and Ipoh Secrets to anyone who’s keen to explore Ipoh and Perak area.

Ipoh Secrets were fantastic on our recent visit to Ipoh when we decided to book a last minute trip to the Cameron Highlands. We were told that due to our last minute booking we would just have a driver and not a guide, but it ended up that John, our driver, was a fantastic tour guide! He was really professional and knowledgeable, we really enjoyed his insights as an Ipoh local and he was also easy to get along with. He knew all the best photo spots and even gave us a list of coffee places to try!

It was also very reasonable price-wise and flexible with what we wanted to do.

We would definitely use Ipoh Secrets again!

A great experience, relaxed, interesting, and totally flexible to our schedule. Felt like spending a day being shown around a friend’s hometown, going to many places we wouldn’t have found on our own. John was very patient with our two kids also, and they really enjoyed the day.

I've been to Ipoh lots of times for food. So this is the first time I've availed a tour to get to know Ipoh on a different light! Our guide, John, was very knowledgeable and give details that only locals will know. he brings us to places that we usually passed by but he have insights that we've never known before... yet he says "can google lah". He also took us to restaurants that serves good food but really affordable. Told us interesting stories about places and spots. And he got good sense to manage our tour time well.

Highly recommended tour and guide for Ipoh!

Hahaha, yes can Google... if you let me continue my story mode, the Heritage Tour part will take up the whole day!!! For those who're interested, it's about the assassination of Mr. Birch and the multiverse, the story of Ipoh version of "What If...?" Well history is full of interesting bits that lead you further down the rabbit hole...

Stumbled upon this tour on Tripadvisor after reading quite a number of great reviews. It did not disappoint.

It was a private tour. We were picked up at our hotel by John (spacious MPV) and brought us to an authentic breakfast place (Curry Mee, Wantan Mee , Chicken Hor Fun and White Coffee of course). Then, we headed for the Ipoh Heritage Walking Tour. John was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of trivia along the way which we find very interesting.

After the morning walk, we headed to the Sam Poh Tong Temple (stunning Japanese Garden) before heading for lunch (Chicken Rice - yummy and affordable), then went for Kellie's Castle after. Since it was already around 330 when we left Kellie's Castle, we assumed that we will head home already as the tour was only supposed to be for 8 hours (ending by 4pm), but John even brought us to Perak Cave Temple. We were supposed to go to Kek Long Tong but there was a long queue so we decided to opt out. The Perak Cave Temple was a good alternative. Amazing Cave temple with Stalactites and Stalagmites, too bad we didn't manage to climb to the Pavilion (as it was already late when we arrived - last entry was at 330pm).

Overall, this is a highly recommended tour. We've been to Ipoh a few times and this was the first time, we've booked a tour. This was a good alternative to go around the city with a relaxed paced and with a local bringing you to hole in the wall eateries (everything was arranged for you :) ) Thanks to John for being flexible and accommodating.

Thanks for the review, the first after the long national COVID-19 lock down! Due to the long Diwali weekend holiday and with the national SOP with limited entry at a single time, there are more than Kek Long Tong can chew that day LOL! Hope the hiccup at Kellie's Castle didn't spoil the mood of your holiday... Cheers! :)
