Sarawak Private Trips & Cooking Class @ Indah House - Kuching, Sarawak

Richard G.

It was a few days at the end of a business trip to sight-see and having Lucian around made that short stay really worthwhile. He was very good at listening to our wishes and gave good advice on the feasibility of our requests - e.g. the likelihood of seeing the Orangutans if it was raining (as it did a lot on our days); on other opportunities to enjoy - visiting a Longhouse, taking a cooking course - and he was really patient and guided by wanting to see we would enjoy the experience. The cookery course was with Indah house and we were lucky that places were available last minute. It was great fun meeting the other participants and the chef, chopping and sauteing away together - maybe beer was needed in that warm kitchen - 😉.

The cafe itself is a lovely place - small but with a strong sense of community, wanting to promote artists in the area as well as the sights. They sell art created by local artists - pictures, paintings, trinkets, postcards etc, and the staff are very warm and friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Kuching.

We were very happy with Lucian's professionalism and his kindness and friendliness. There were other things we weren't able to do - visit the National Park, see the frogs - but I'd be very happy to head back and he'd be first on my list of people to contact when there.

Thank you

Excellent tour of Sarawak cultural village. Our guide, Lucian, was both knowledgeable and polite. We had a lovely day, with lots of insight to native culture. The show at the end was fantastic - thoroughly recommend! Had a great day overall!

Lucian picked us up from the hotel and took to the park, he answered all the questions with perfect English, knew al about the culture, frogs, orangutans, Sarawak, history. It was raining 3 times and didn't bother us because of the frogs we saw. He written down all the species names and it was more than 50 frogs we saw. He even knew the sex and age of frogs, but was looking for insects, spiders, lizards and mammals also.

We saw the leopard cat!!!!! Seeing how happy he was you can truly see how much this hobby/ job means for him

Lucian è una persona molto disponibile e gentile.
Fin da subito ci ha messi a nostro agio e ha reso il nostro soggiorno ancora più piacevole. È molto preparato e attento, ci ha dato tantissime informazioni utili non solo per la giornata prenotata con lui ma in generale per tutto il nostro soggiorno, fin dal momento in cui ci è venuto a prendere in aeroporto. Se dovessi tornare a Kuching sceglierei senza dubbio Lucian, ormai siamo diventati amici!

We felt lucky to be with Lucian for our day at Semenggoh Orangutan Sanctuary. He is very knowledgeable about the plants and animals of Borneo, as well as the culture. He helpfully communicated ahead of time all the things we should bring to the park via Whatsapp. He took the time to show us around the park, including a nature trail and museum display. He went above and beyond to make our day great!

Great day trip with Lucian. He picked us up from our hotel and first took us to Semenggoh park for the morning feeding. We where we were lucky to spot two orang utan! Then off to Annah Rais long house for a guided tour and a home cooked lunch on site (checked with us for diet restrictions, nice touch!). We finished the visit of the long house with a private masterclass by musician Arthur Borman - a true passionate that carries on the legacy of Pratuokng, a beautiful bidayuh instrument!

Super happy with this day trip. I had a similar package few years back when I first visited Sarawak but that one is another level. Lunch and music introduction is a really nice addition to the trip, 100% recommended!

Lucian is an excellent guide. We went with him to Semenggoh, Bengoh Dam waterfalls and Kampung Sting. Besides hikings were really nice and enjoyable, he guided us splendidly. I highly recomend him. Very professional, kind and reliable.
