What do customers say?

Most bookings run smoothly with attentive staff walking families through pre-trip details and earning repeat business, especially on Asia tours known for lavish meals. One family's Harbin trip soured when their experienced guide's condescending remarks, combined with poorly-arranged hotel rooms and a hurried pace, left them questioning whether the company's premium pricing reflects genuine care.

Praised for
  • responsive, patient pre-booking staff
  • food quality and culinary highlights
  • well-organized itineraries
  • repeat customers with strong loyalty
Watch-outs
  • dismissive tour guide behavior
  • poor room coordination for families
  • rushed pace through attractions

Firstcoach runs a basic coach service between Malaysia and Singapore from Bandar Utama with mixed results. Many passengers report smooth, punctual trips and courteous station staff, but serious complaints center on driver fatigue, unsafe driving behavior (headphones, erratic steering), and communication breakdowns. The buses themselves draw criticism for cramped design and overheating on afternoon routes.
