Terrible experience with total lack of professionalism by operator. !!! NO SHOW BY OPERATOR !!!

!! SCAM ALERT !! My family and I booked this tour (operator is ASNI TOURS AND TRAVEL) as we have a special needs son (Autism & ADHD) and wanted a guide so we can focus on our son as we were guided through the sights and sounds of the National Park. The company chartered a bus for us and we arrived at Kampung Bako jetty and... THERE WAS NO TOUR GUIDE. After some asking around and calling the operator, the tour operator told me to wait while she checked on the matter. After calling back to find out the progress, she refused to pick up the call and after a few more calls, the call was immediately directed to voicemail. We were left hanging at the jetty, no guide, having made full payment and with a special needs son who was getting cranky and unregulated due to the situation. Thankfully the driver, Mr Azmi, was a true gentleman and helped us make alternate arrangements at the jetty as my wife and I handled my upset and cranky special son. A local guide he engaged, Mr Bujang, took us on the tour and we had a wonderful time. It has been over 48 hours since being stood up by Asni Tours & Travel and they have yet to even contact me to apologise or explain what happened despite being paid in full. Want a TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)? > Paid Operator (Asni Tours & Travel) but the guide never appeared and no apology/explanation given.

Abwechslungsreiche Tour vor herrlichen Kulissen

Ich hatte viel Glück mit meinem Reiseführer Jaybee. Es war sehr spannend, ihm zuzuhören, wie er die Geschichte seiner Heimat und die Gepflogenheiten seiner Landsleute schilderte. Die Fahrzeit mit dem Auto zum Boots-Terminal vom Bako-Nationalpark betrug weniger als eine Stunde; aufgrund der interessanten Unterhaltung empfand ich die Anreise als ziemlich kurzweilig. Die anschließende Bootsfahrt dauerte 15 Minuten. Nach Verlassen des Bako-Dorfes führte sie durch die Urwald-Landschaften der Flussmündung, bis wir die malerischen Sandsteinklippen und die Buchten am südchinesischen Meer erreichten. Während des Spazierganges durch den Regenwald erklärte mir Jaybee sehr viel über die Verwertung der Pflanzen durch die Einheimische; er verfügt über einen gewaltigen Wissensschatz. Leider sind uns die berühmten Affengruppen nicht begegnet. Dafür nahm ich ein erholsames Bad an der feinsandigen Bilderbuch-Bucht am Ende der Wanderung. Wir hatten noch ausreichend Zeit, um mit dem Boot die Seestapel, d.h. die Felsformationen mitten im Meer zu besichtigen. Danach haben wir in einem typischen Restaurant in Kuching zu Mittag gegessen. Auf dem Weg ins Hotel hat mich Jaybee an den historischen Bauten und Vierteln Kuchings vorbeigefahren. Dabei erzählte er viel Interessantes über Land und Leute. Ich habe diese Tour sehr genossen!
