Its a great tour to Ipoh. Our tour guide Anson was super helpful and on time. He even took us to a spot that wasn't on the itinerary.

At first I hesitate to book Excelsior after reading the reviews. But the location is really fantastic. We walk to Gerbang Malam, Ipoh Old Town and Ipoh Parade. All the popular dim sum, chicken/beansprouts, YTF, etc are just around the hotel. This “old” hotel has bigger (22 sqm) size room as compared to others. The hotel has been renovated and it’s so pleasant and comfortable. We enjoyed the breakfast too. Also the staff are so courteous. I have no regrets staying at Excelsior for 4 nights. Recommended 💕

The tour guide's service attitude was generally good, but they didn't accompany us to some attractions and didn't provide much introduction, so we couldn't learn more about the attractions. This was a bit disappointing. Hopefully, they can accompany guests more in the future and provide more introductions. Water was provided on the bus.
