Private or small group

A private tour gives your party its own vehicle and guide, starts when you like and follows your pace - the usual choice for families and groups. A small-group tour shares the guide with a few other travellers and costs less per person. Each tour page says which it is, and most group tours can be made private on request.

What is included and how it works

The tour page lists what is included - vehicle, guide, entrance tickets where stated, lunch where stated - and what is not. Hotel pickup is the norm in Kota Kinabalu. Book with the date, the number of travellers and the hotel; the desk confirms the price and the pickup time in writing.

Prices are fixed and confirmed on WhatsApp before you pay; the same conversation handles changes, questions and the next booking.
