Reviews: Kota Kinabalu Half-Day Tour: Tanjung Aru Beach + City Mosque + Tun Mustapha Tower
Guest User2025-12-08
The tour guide was incredibly professional and attentive. There were only two of us, and he took photos of us at every attraction – they were even better than the photos we took ourselves! We loved it! 😍 He introduced the sights and even recommended some local seafood at the end. We were extremely satisfied! Five stars! Highly recommended! 👍🏻★

Not bad. The day was cloudy and I couldn't see the sunset. Just the most sensible.★

Reviews: Sabah Weston Wetland River Cruise, Proboscis Monkey, Sunset & Fireflies 1 Day Shared Tour
Guest User2026-02-15
Excellent value, absolutely excellent value! The guide led us in the rainforest searching for proboscis monkeys. We found about 6-7 families. In the end, only our boat was still searching; the other boats had already gone back. The guide also made sure everyone on the boat could see the fireflies at night. After the people on the left finished watching, he would turn around to let the people on the right see them. By the way, his name is Dudy. I'd call him the most energetic worker. Attached is a photo of Dudy that my companion unintentionally took. I hope he sees this "life's work photo."About
