What to expect

See the beautiful mix of history, modern art, and culture in the charming city of Ipoh! Voted by Lonely Planet, the largest travel guide publisher in the world, as one of the ‘Best in Asia’, Ipoh thrives in attracting tourists from all over the world because of its colonial-style attractions, ancient temples, and amazing Old Town murals. Experience a one-of-a-kind private tour in the heart of Perak’s capital city beloved by locals and tourists alike. Start the day right with a convenient hotel pick up in Kuala Lumpur or Bukit Bintang. Your first stop will bring you to Kellie’s Castle. Built by a Scottish planter as a gift for his wife, this 19th century castle remains a popular local attraction due to its beautiful architecture and haunting mysteries. Travel next to the Ipoh Railway Station, affectionately regarded as the 'Taj Mahal of Ipoh'. This picturesque attraction boasts ornate Moorish architecture and a beautiful landscape adorned with fountains. By 12:00pm, go on a food tour around the city’s vibrant food scene where hipster cafés and traditional delicacies continue to delight both travelers and locals. After a hearty lunch, visit the well-preserved Perak Tong Temple. Built within massive limestone caves, it houses a massive Buddha statue, mystical mural paintings, and natural prayer chambers. Explore the city once more and venture into your last tour stop: the artsy Old Town, the place of origin of the world's very first white coffee.

I highly recommend this full-day private tour in Ipoh! Our tour guide made our experience truly enjoyable. He took us to explore the charming Ipoh old town, stunning limestone caves, and the iconic Kellie's Castle. The guide was not only friendly but also helpful, providing us with valuable insights into the history and culture of the attractions. He even assisted us in capturing memorable photos throughout the day. Overall, it was an awesome experience, and I strongly recommend booking on Klook for your next trip to Ipoh!

We joined this day tour on 15/2/2023, our tour guide and driver is Mr. Raja, he is punctual, patient and caring during the whole tour. We received the pick up confirmation via email the day before, and Mr. Raja picked us up on time and it took 2.5hrs one way. he told us about the flow of the journey clearly, and tried his best to explain the history and origins of each places and spots to us even our english is not fluent. Since only two of us (my husband and I) joined this private tour, Mr.Raja took photos for us in every spots. We had a fun trip, the perak cave temple is magnificent!

This is our first trip to city of Ipoh, Perak. Our guide, Mr. Raja is a superb driver-guide. He drives smoothly and also explains and tells a lot of history about Ipoh and surrounds. We kinda love it so much. Our first stop, Kellie's Castle is amazing place, it showing us a fantastic castle, full of mystery, even though the building is never to be finished. But it's very interesting, plus, the view from the top is very amazing. Mr. Raja also helps us to take a lot of pictures, yes we really love it. Then we go to Ipoh city, we stop by the Old Town White Coffee Padang Ipoh, it's very nice to drink and taste the original white coffee here, we chill and having a relax time here. Then we go to Birch Memorial Clock Tower, also the Ipoh Railway Station. This was a photo stop by, but we also enjoy it a lot. Next, Mr. Raja surprises us to the Concubine Lane, kind of hidden alley selling goods, local foods, and also souvenirs. This also a hidden spot to take noce and lovely pictures. Then we have lunch of chicken tau geh, an authentic Ipoh food. We love it so much! After buying some goods and foodie to bring home, we continue our journey to Perak Tong Temple. This place is totally amazing, natural cave with a giant Buddha statue and temple inside of it. We also climb to the top, where we can see a spectacular view from above. This is our last stop before heading back to Kuala Lumpur. Overall, the car is clean and comfortable. And specially to Mr. Raja, he is so superb guide, with a very clear explanation, and also care to details for our needs. He's so totally love his job, and we are saying have a very good time with him. Totally recommended, and best service. We difinitely come back again to try another tour with him.

Well greeted by our friendly and polite tour guide, Mr Chandran! Journey to Ipoh although was long but Mr Chandra’s sharing on his knowledge of the history behind Ipoh was very much enlightening for us to know more about Ipoh! Making the trip very much enjoyable and meaningful to learn about every stops we made in Ipoh! Best part was the piping hot and scrumptious chicken rice we had for lunch and the shopping for Ipoh delicacies to be be brought home as gifts for friends and relatives! Highly recommended choice for visitors who want to learn more of Ipoh history and shopping!

I am highly impressed by our Driver Raja, who arrived on time and was very professional throughout the trip. He drove safely and made sure were comfortable at all times. He was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Ipoh and was able to answer all our questions with ease. He communicated well and shared interesting anecdotes throughout the tour. The tour itself was well-planned and included all the major attractions of Ipoh, like Kellie’s Castle,Perak tong cave temple, a visit to Ipoh railway station and clock tower. We also got a chance to visit the in famous Concubine lane and saw the great street art. I also loved the coffee at the Old Coffee house and Chicken and bean sprouts with rice for lunch. Overall, I had a great time on the tour and highly recommend Raja our tour guide come driver to anyone visiting Ipoh.

His extensive knowledge of the city's history, culture, and cuisine truly made our experience unforgettable. His attention to detail was outstanding, and the ability to customize the tour to our interests was greatly appreciated. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and comfortable in the presence.

The local cuisine with chicken and white coffee was delicious, he also proactively took photo for us. His passion for the city and its culture was evident, he was professional and it made our trip all the more memorable. Overall, I thank you for the outstanding service Mr Raja provided.

This was a fun-filled day! The van was very spacious with cold AC (perfect after visiting each site). Mr Tan & our driver arrived before the meeting time. They were both very friendly. Mr Tan was really amazing in explaining each spot we visited. He also brought us to this really nice Ipoh Chicken Rice store & the white coffee stall. 5-star is not even enough for this one. I highly recommend this trip. Bonus to have Mr Tan as your tour guide. Hope to book another trip soon. 😊
