    • Do not buy or book tours from hotels' doorman, bellboys or even the reception counter.
    When you buy tours from these people, you'll end up being toured around by some unscrupulous and unlicensed private tour operators.

    Let say you pay MYR60 per person for a half day (3hours) city tour to these people, they will just pay the private unlicensed tour operators MYR 25 per person and pocket the balance MYR35 for themselves. Since these private operators were underpaid, they will in turn bring the tourists to sometimes up to 6 shopping stops just to get some incentives from the shops even if the tourists did not buy anything.

    Imagine to spend 2 hours for shopping stops instead of a full 3 hours sightseeing tour..!!

    Alternative: Look up the internet for responsible and honest tour operators.
