Covers the main attractions. Guide should leave his personal opinion about womans plans in life about having children or not out. We as woman felt very uncomfortable. Also he asked to give at least 10 €. Which is inappropriate in my opinion.

I learned more about Chinese culture during this tour than I learned during 2 weeks in China. I learned more about Kuala Lumpur and it's origins than the other 5 tours we had done previously. David made it all fun and interesting.
