I had an amazing time on this trip – it was the highlight of my month-long journey through Malaysia! Bruno is an excellent guide: knowledgeable, funny, and always attentive to every member of the group. As a solo female traveler, I truly appreciated the group dynamic and felt safe and welcome throughout the entire experience.
