Review: Batik Canting Experience The batik canting experience was the best and so much fun! 🎨✨ Even though we had never done batik canting before, the staff guided us wonderfully from start to finish. Their teaching method was easy to understand, and they were always there to help when we weren't sure what to do. It was a truly fun experience and perfect for first-timers. Highly recommended! 🤍

Such a relaxing experience! A bit painful (it’s my first time) but Thai Odyssey’s massage was soothing, professional, and exactly what I needed to unwind 💆🏻‍♀️✨

Our driver, Felix, got us from point to point safely with his superb driving skills. He was very responsible and punctual. He arrived our hotel pickup point 30 minutes in advance. He gave us background and history of each sightseeing spots via text as soon as we arrived. Overall, the tour was very well organized. We received instant confirmation and the tour company was very responsive. The instructions we received were very clear and easy to follow. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested to spend a day in Ipoh from KL.

Highly recommended. We'll definitely repeat our visit. The place is spacious, has a cafe, and an air-conditioned room for parents to wait while their children play. Very satisfied.
