"Poor Nurul had to wait an hour for us due to a train delay. But this did not dampen her enthusiasm or let us miss out on the sights of Ipoh. We asked her to customized a trip to see the cave temples as well and I think it is fair to say we all enjoyed the day. She shared her knowledge and passion for Ipoh, we learnt a lot and got delivered back to the train station really feeling we had enjoyed a fantastic day. Thank you Nurul. "
"Despite our train being an hour late Nurul still ensured we had the full tour plus more. She could not have been sweeter , more informative or kinder - she really went out of her way to show us everything. I thoroughly recommend her to anyone visiting Ipoh
Thanks Nurul xx"
"Nurul is a great guide. Our tour was very enjoyable; we learned many interesting things that encourage us to visit Ipoh again. Moreover, Nurul shows and tells stories with great enthusiasm, and you can tell she really enjoys what she does. We visited as a family with two teenagers, who also enjoyed listening to all the stories. Thank you for the time we spent together and for answering all our questions. See you next time. We highly recommend her."
"My brothers and I were back in Ipoh for our siblings reunion. Having grown up in Batu Gajah/Ipoh, we didn’t think there was much more we could learn but we were so wrong!!! Nurul was such a fountain of info, excited and thorough. Would not hesitate to do it again. Terima kasih Nurul! The Varugheses’"

A lovely day in Ipoh with Nurul!
"I enjoyed my tour with Nurul exploring Ipoh on my second day in town. She was flexible to what I wanted to learn and see, and she was pleasant and fun. She also surprised me with some locations and tasty treats. I highly recommend you book a tour with Nurul to feel like you’ve seen a lovely city and met a friend in Ipoh! "
