Unforgettable trip with Ipoh Secrets

John is a very friendly tour guide! I spend my perfect leisure day in Ipoh peaceful town! Ipoh is more than you think as there's many hidden good sight. The price is very reasonable and to hire a taxi driver for whole day will cost you mostly the same! I start up my day with the famous dim sum, and went to some cave temples, I have some authentic street food which surprisingly good under John's recommendation. My trip is packed with wonders, john did show me more attractions which is not on my itinerary! Ipoh is a lovely town and definitely will return again :)

Thanks for the lovely review and I do hope the next time you'll get a longer break so we can try out some new foodie/cafe spots like that new Cafe de Rasta!

Nice experience!

My partner and I booked full day tour with Ipoh Secrets, It was a nice experience: we ate local dim sum for breakfast, went to amazing Gua Tempurung (the cave is huge), visited Kellie's castle, had great local food for dinner! Lita, our guide, was friendly and funny! =)

Much room for improvement

We booked the tour as we wanted to see the cavetemples as they are nasty to visit with public transport. John was on time to pick us up, but was not very informative over the programm. After 10 minutes driving to one temple he deicded to go t another one first. john did not offer any info without being asked. We certainly did not get the "loads of tips from the knowledgable tourguide" as promised on the website. Just rent a normal taxi see the cave temples and walk to the Hakka miners museum youself and save yourself a load of cash.

Good way to spend time efficiently

After spending one day in Cameron Highlands, my plan was to go to Ipoh, but didn't have any plans on how could I spend my time in Ipoh.
I had a list of attractions but, didn't know how could I go to all those places within a day and taking a taxi would cost a lot for a whole day with a driver too.

So, I thought to take a look for any tour guides in Ipoh and found this and dropped them an email at night on the day before I went the tour with them. The friendly guide John replied my email just after sometime and I provided him that I would be coming to Amanjaya bus terminal by the bus from Cameron Highlands. Even though the bus delayed, he was waiting for me there to welcome me and I was the only one he had for the tour on that day.

Since it was almost 12, we had our lunch first and started the tour. He explained about the meals, especially more famous food in Ipoh to help me choosing a meal. Even though the tour was planned for a half day, John showed me all the places wihtout caring about the time and I didn't miss anything at all.

I would recommend these guys for whoever visiting Ipoh and it's worth spending time with them efficiently.

Keep it up !

Ipoh secrets half day

This was a great tour. I contacted them by email as I knew I only had half a day in Ipoh and had to catch a bus agin in the evening. John, the friendly and helpful guide, was able to pick me up from the station and drop me back there in the afternoon at the end of the tour just in time for my bus. He was flexible and suggested some sight but also slotted in others according to preference. Worth your time.
