“When I signed up, I was expecting something more social, a group where I could meet other people. On the day of the tour, I realized it was just me and the guide, Malik, which made me a bit uncomfortable because it wasn’t what I had in mind. I did enjoy seeing a less touristy side of Malaysia and discovering local spots, but unfortunately, I ended up with food poisoning. That really affected my experience, and I have to be honest about it. Malik was always kind and made me feel comfortable, but overall, this wasn’t a good experience for me.”
