Guest stories

What families tell us after they fly home

Sample reviews: this is a demo website, so these quotes are illustrative.

Sample

Our driver Hassan met us at KLIA with a sign in Arabic and stayed with us for nine days. The children still ask about him.

Sample

Every lunch stop was halal and there was a mosque nearby at every prayer time. We did not have to think about anything.

Sample

Eleven of us, with my parents, in one van. The beach hotel in Penang was perfect and the planning was faultless.

Questions

Citizens of the GCC countries can visit Malaysia on holiday without a visa. Every traveller must complete the free Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) online in the three days before arrival, and we send you the link and help you fill it in. For other passports, message us and we will check.

Malaysia is warm all year, around 30°C. Langkawi and Penang are driest from December to April, and June to August, the Gulf summer holidays, is also a good time on the west coast. Cameron Highlands and Genting stay cool all year.

Prices are per person, based on two adults sharing a room in a 4★ hotel. They include hotels with breakfast, private transfers, the tours listed and the domestic flight or ferry where mentioned. International flights are not included. Children under 2 travel free and children aged 2 to 11 get a reduced rate.

Once you approve the plan, a 30% deposit by bank transfer or card confirms the booking. The balance is due 14 days before you arrive. We quote in Malaysian ringgit and can also quote in SAR, AED or USD.

Of course. Every package is a starting point. Add nights, swap a hotel or slow the pace for grandparents, and we send you the new plan and price on WhatsApp.

We track your flight, so your driver adjusts automatically. Waiting is free for 60 minutes after landing, and you receive your driver’s name and number the day before.

Malaysia, planned around your family.
