Reviews From Our Previous Guests
Wonderful Bike Ride in the Villages Surrounding Kuching My husband and I very much enjoyed our village bike ride with Farrah. Who would have known that not much further than a stone’s throw from downtown Kuching you could be riding bikes in villages with chicken’s running around and a boatload of laundry hanging out to dry since it was a sunny day? Farrah provided a nice amount to history to us at various stops along the way and I was also so appreciative of her patience with my numerous questions. We even rode right by Farrah’s house and got to meet her father! We went to the market and explored, had a plate full of chicken fried rice along with plenty of deliciously cold drinks before ending up on a sanpan that took us across the river. Highly recommend this tour!

Recommended Bike Tour Thank you to Farrah for a great day out. Very interesting and informative tour. Our group was only 5 guests, so it was very nice and easy for us to cycle around together. Good mix of historic buildings, markets, bridges and a short boat ride across river. Quick break to try noodles and a cool drink. Easy ride for any age and capabilities. Farrah had so much knowledge which was impressive.

My husband and I had an incredible experience on the food and heritage tour in Kuching! Our guide, Kelvin Lu, was outstanding—extremely knowledgeable, professional, and personable. He provided a comprehensive look at the city's rich culture and history while introducing us to some amazing local cuisine. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment and appreciated Kelvin's attention to detail. We only wish they offered another tour within the city because we would love to explore even more with them. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Kuching!

Orangutans and longhouse lunch - excellent family trip Family of five (my father, my wife and two kids aged 9 and 7) had an excellent tour to Semenggoh for the orangutans in the morning followed by lunch at the Annah Rais Longhouse. Our guide Farhah was fantastic, really knowledgeable about both the orangutans and the longhouse, and made it interesting for us all. The kids particularly enjoyed learning the orangutans’ names and playing blowpipe darts after lunch! We were very lucky to see 14 orangutans, including the demanding alpha male and a couple of mothers holding their babies, but sightings not always guaranteed. Farhah’s knowledge made the experience many times greater than it would’ve been travelling without a guide. The tour and food in the longhouse was superb. Farhah had so much knowledge to share about everything from the history of the longhouse to the flora and fauna all around. Thank you to our lunch hosts. Also a big thank you to our driver, sorry we didn’t catch his name! We can’t wait to come back to Kuching in the future and we will happily use Paradesa again!
