About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 927nataliea0 contributionsGood way to get your bearings on your first day in KL.Went early on a Saturday morning. Traffic was light for KL made driving around to the different sights very easy. Highlights were Chinese temple and Petronas Towers. Our driver Hery was very friendly and informative and a safe driver.Written 13 January 2025
- Michael D0 contributionsWonderful driver but unable to do the full tour that I bookedMy driver Rajan was wonderful and very friendly. He made the trip very enjoyable. Unfortunately, the booking does not indicate that stages 3 and 4 of the cave tour require 5 people minimum. When I arrived after booking stage 4 I was only able to do the short stage 2 tour.Written 9 January 2025
- Oisín Ó0 contributionsGreat tripExcellent. Wasn’t 100% sure what to expect, but it was like watching little LED lights popping in the bushes from a boat. Seeing the temple and the monkeys on the way there was a bonus. I’m not sure the restaurant fully understood my food allergy though.Written 9 January 2025
- annaaN8518CY0 contributionsMr. Indran is the best tour guideNice Tour. Picked us up from our location and brought us back to the same location. Enough time spent at each spot. My favorite being the waterfalls. Special thanks to our Tour Guide Mr. Indran! He was amazing to work with from the beginning. Super communicative, flexible, knowledgeable and overall amazing. He made us feel like family and safe at all times. If you book this tour hopefully you'll get to meet Mr. Indran. He's amazing and made our vacation so very wonderful! He's the best tour guide we've had by far! Keep up the good work Indran!Written 4 December 2024
- Jesse A0 contributionsOnce in a lifetime experienceThis is definitely one of the most difficult hikes that we have ever been on but it was well worth it to see the rafflesia flower. The guides were wonderful and did their best to make sure that we were safe the entire time and made us feel very welcome.Written 25 November 2024

- PaschG0 contributionsFantastic tourReally enjoyable experience with Aris, who had the perfect balance of giving sufficient information and plenty of time to enjoy each activity. He was friendly, funny, professional, and thoughtful. We really enjoyed Batu Caves, how lucky are we that people praying tolerate tourists observing their sacred ceremonies. A truly wonderful experience. Really enjoyed the hot springs too, and waterfalls, highly recommended.Written 20 November 2024

- K6647RQmatthewc0 contributionsA great snapshot of Kuala Lumpur's beauty.A great day out. Harry was a terrific tour guide who made us feel very comfortable and relaxed as we drove around. Batu Caves are busy and it's a hike to get to the top but well worth it. Make sure you bring your bathers for a swim in the waterfall, it's absolutely amazing and a well needed cool off on a hot and humid day. The Pewter Factory and Batik shop are quick stops but quite interesting.Written 14 November 2024
- Passenger7861350 contributionsGood trip with caveats.Overall a good trip. First stop was the hot springs which was a waste of time as the water is just too hot to get in. Next was the waterfalls which were lovely and nice for a swim but quite a few steps to get there. Batu caves were up next and even more steps but worth the effort. A little too touristy and filthy because of the monkeys eating bananas. Hardly a spiritual place but the caves are spectacular. After lunch we did the pewter factory which I found surprisingly interesting. Next the batik workshop which was quite interesting and I bought a shirt there from a good range of choices at a good price.Written 21 October 2024
- Gabrielle M0 contributionsGreat GuideI had a great experience, the guide Khairy ensured I had a great day as a solo traveller and we had ample time to explore all the attractions.Written 28 September 2024
- U8073LLheidit0 contributionsAwesome. Highly recommend.Harry was awesome Very warm and welcoming. Gave good history/ information on city sites. Went to pewter factory very interesting and very friendly tour guides. Lots of laughs. Good lunch.Written 22 September 2024
- Z7656NIjulies0 contributionsGreat tripGreat 6 hr trip out of city, full of interesting info on KL and Malaysia with non rushed stops, a great lunch, and all provided by the wonderful Rajan. Would def recommend.Written 20 September 2024
- adamchinn10 contributionsAction packed dayGreat tour, very action packed day with a good mix of activities. My tour guide Al was very friendly and knowledgeable and I had a great time.Written 23 August 2024
- Y4261PLchrisp0 contributionsGreat guide but not a great tourA difficult one this. Our driver Rajan was an excellent guide and quite entertaining. However as a couple our opinion was that the pewter factory was very interesting, the batik factory was not and frankly I wouldn’t recommend any one visit the Batu cafe, at least not the main one containing the temple as over commercialised and too many people. Perhaps other caves may have been more interesting, but we were only given an hour for the visit. The hot springs are not in a natural settings and are a waste of time and the waterfall is ok, but again a fairly quick visit of an hour. The lunch was excellent and there was plenty of delicious food. Unfortunately overall I would recommend the company , but probably not the tour in its present format.Written 17 August 2024

Ronnie Ranjit was my tour guide and he was amazing. Knowledagble historically and culturally. I wanted to see a lot of the street art so he adapted my tour to allow for enough time to get to the streets and some obscure side streets to see murals. It was a great introduction to Penang and I am glad I choose this tour.

Highly recommend this tour. Great historical and cultural intro to George Town. My guide Ronnie Ranjit was the best. Knowledgable, and accommodating. When I said I wanted to see street murals he made sure I got to see more than just a couple that might have been standard for the tour. Let me wander the temples on my own time. I never felt rushed to get to the next location.

We had a great time on our Penang tour with Ronnie! He knows so much about the island and made everything super interesting. What was awesome was how he matched our energy—really friendly, fun, and easy to talk to. Ronnie took us to some cool spots we definitely wouldn’t have found on our own. Highly recommend him if you’re visiting Penang!
