Kelvin drives his white Mercedes. He charged us 90 Ringgit nett for picking us up from the airport and dropping us off at the hotel. He helped me with the luggage....we had come from Bali with a lot of stuff ;-) Some other rates I remember were as follows :-
1)Swiss Garden Hotel, KL to Putra Jaya and back with a great shopping trip and lunch(extra) thrown in ---150 Ringgit----it took us 6 hours.
2)Swiss Garden Hotel to the Fire Flies place and back with dinner(extra) and a lot of sightseeing along the way---250 Ringgit---it took us 6 hours.
3)Swiss Garden Hotel to Ipoh, Kuala Kansrar, Taiping and back....lots and lots of sightseeing, shopping....450 Ringgit...14 hours...from 7am to 9pm
4) Swiss Garden Hotel to Cameron Highlands and back...lots of sightseeing.....450 Ringgit...14 hours from 7am to 9pm.
This much I can say for sure. His rates were much cheaper than the tour prices and were better in several ways. We went where we wanted at our pace. And, Kelvin is an expert guide. He knows the place inside out...speaks Malay well. Plus the comfort of a Mercedes ;-)
Cheers !!!
