Count between 450 and 800 MYR per day depending on the circuit, often including the vehicle and fuel.
Can an event with alcohol be organized in Malaysia?

Does the guide handle meals?
Generally, the guide recommends the best restaurants and manages reservations, but meals remain the client's responsibility, unless otherwise stated.
Which cities are best suited for a seminar?
Kuala Lumpur for its infrastructure, Penang for its culture and cuisine, and Langkawi for more relaxed incentives.
