I loved my bike tour with Kelvin. He provided a great intro to Kuching along with many delicious snacks. He was also funny, engaging, and took excellent care of me and the two other guests on the trip. Can't recommend Kelvin and Paradesa Borneo highly enough ...

Kelvin guided just the 2 of us through the streets. At all times felt we safe and the pace was just right. Not rushed, not too slow. Just perfect. The sites were interesting, off the beaten track and a very nice way to explore the city and surrounding kampongs. I highly recommend the cycling/walk food tour. Laksa, noodles, traditional deserts, fruits, curry puffs, sated, key lapis, fried banana, etc. The amount of food was very generous and felt all safe to eat.

Great experience . The walking tour downtown Kuching including the most famous spices shop and markets was particularly interesting as Laura shown us hidden places and gave us many information. Special mention for the short baot trip. As per the cooking class: just amazing. We learned how to prepare four recepies with fresh and delightful ingredients. We highly recommand this tour and Paradesa Borneo.

A wonderful introduction to Kuching. Laura showed us around, giving us a taste of what the city and its surroundings have to offer, and allowing us to identify what we wanted to return, to explore in more depth. Highly recommended.

Fantastic tours in Sarawak In 4 people we did the 1 day tour to Bako National Park: super recommended! A fantastic tour, run very well by our guide Danny.Not too heavy, it gave us the opportunity to see various animals and explosive nature. We managed to do 2 different routes in the park.The next day we did the half day in Semenggoh and saw several orangutans during feeding time. This is a tour that you could also do independently, but so it was very comfortable and efficient.

Sunset Cycle Tour The cycle tour was brilliant! A great way to get to know Kuching and experience foods and places we wouldn’t have found ourselves. Our guides, Estee & Laura were superb - they made the experience safe, interesting & really informative. It was a brilliant experience and I urge all visitors to Kuching to do this tour!

Great way to see Kuching A fantastic morning, led by Calvin, touring Kuching, seeing sights, markets,Kampungs. Lots of stops and Calvin was very accommodating with our 3 children. Tried all sorts of foods and fruits, learned about local cultures and finished with a boat trip across the river. Thoroughly recommended.
