          My guide Siva was very kind and informative. We went to batu caves, a batik factory, saw and fed the silver back monkeys, had a lovely dinner and went on a boat ride to see the fireflies.a great day and I would highly recommend him!

          Batu caves trip
          The guide could have informed us more . He did not accompany us into Batu Caves. He did not accompany us to the waterfalls. I feel he could have told us about what we were driving past on our journey.

          We had such a great time on our tour. Kimber was on time and had a very comfortable and air conditioned transportation. He was super knowledgeable, friendly and honest, and kept us laughing throughout our tour. We will definitely be recommending him to friends and family who visit KL from now on. Thank you so much for a wonderful time. We only wish we met you earlier than our last day in KL! See you again, friend!

          Half day tour
          We really enjoyed our half day experiencing Kuala Lumpar. The Batu Caves, which was the highlight of the day, took about an hour which left 3 hours to see some of the other things the city has to offer. Our guide, Decknesh was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. He drove us to the sights and left us to explore on our own. We enjoyed this style, although it may not be for everyone. This tour worked for us as we only had a day in Malaysia, Decknesh made sure we covered a lot of ground and suggested where we may want to spend the rest of our time. The only reason I'm marking a 4/5 instead of 5, is that towards the end the tour got quite sales focused. Thank you Decknesh, we'll be sure to message you when we're back!

          Best 1/2 day tour ever
          Aru was an amazing tour guide. He contacted me the night before and we communicated flawlessly. After picking us he proceeded to give us background and history, lesson of Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur. Our first stop was Batu caves. This certainly is an incredible place and a must when visiting Kuala Lumpur. We also visited the mosque, a Chinese temple, little India, and Central market. Along the way to each one of these places, Aru🇲🇾 would constantly explain the different areas of the city and the history behind it. Overall, if you have a chance to take this tour and on a tight schedule, I fully recommend.

          Wonderful time in KL with lots of love and laughter
          I had a wonderful time with Sathia, who was the best tour guide with her passion and knowledge. Nice drive arounds, key cultural sights we visited, spiced with her own stories growing up in Kuala Lumpur. It gave me the appetite to spend more time in this beautiful city, country. If you only have a day or two in KL, highly recommend the half day trip and fingers crossed Sathia will take care of you.

          This was not a tour trip but a one way drop off trip from KL to Cameron Highlands with Mr Sathesh. Although this was not a tour, Mr Sathesh was very polite courteous and informative . Would recommend.

        Great historic sight seeing tour in the city. Every stop was tailored to our specific needs and was flexible, the exact reason you would go on a private tour. Sathesh was an amazing guide, very funny, knowledgeable, and accommodating to our needs. Sathesh also took us to sample the local cuisine which we would have never found on a bigger tour. We highly recommend taking a tour with him as you can tell he really values and cares about his guests/clients, absolutely worth the price tag.

        Our driver was prompt with pick up and was very knowledgeable of Kuala Lumpur (starting point) and Melaka (destination). Throughout the multi-hour drive, our driver Ramesh kept us entertained with not just fun and informative facts about Malaysia, but also offered us with a great selection of background music to enjoy. The tour itinerary was enough to offer us ample time to explore the many points of interests found at the Unesco World heritage site. Very much enjoyed this tour and would recommend to others who are in Malaysia and looking for a day excursion.

        Mr. Segar was waiting for us at the pickup location when we arrived and was very welcoming and friendly.
        From start to finish of our day out he was very kind, helpful, and professional. His driving was very safe and excellent. We felt very comfortable in his car and were assured by his superior knowledge of the route and traffic flow. He was able to quickly but safely navigate several serious traffic jams and kept us on schedule.
        His knowledge of all the sites in Malacca was excellent and entertaining. He was very kind and considerate to our children. They enjoyed his informative tours of the locations we visited.
        I would highly recommend Mr. Segar to anyone looking for a professional and friendly tour guide.
        Finally, on our return journey to KL, there was a severe thunderstorm and very heavy rain. Visibility was difficult while driving and we saw several accidents on the highway. Mr. Segar’s driving was first of all very safe and considerate to us and other road users but he did not lose any time on the schedule which was very impressive. He is a very experienced and safe driver.
        Thank you, Mr. Segar. We very much enjoyed the trip to Malacca, the delicious food and the friendly people.
        Thank you. Barry & Family.

        We had a wonderful day trip from KL to Malacca with our guide Vera. He was knowledgeable and cooperative. He explained the history of Malacca in the Malacca Museum and made the tour a memorable experience for us. He also took us to the Mosque of the Malacca Straight. Would not hesitate to recommend this private tour to those who have limited time in KL.

        This should be classified as private drive rather than tour as there is hardly any info shared about Melaka. When I asked if we can be talked through some of the history, we were told that there will be information at the museum for us to learn later. We paid $190 for my son and I for this trip and we were disappointed that we essentially just hired an all day taxi.

        I am not sure how they had good reviews here when our experience was completely different.

        I was picked up by Yuvanesh right on time, we left a bit earlier than planned as per my request, and he accommodated very easily. The tour guide was very friendly and courteous throughout the trip, told me stories of Malacca's history on the way to the city.

        In Malacca we did a walking tour of jonker street before reaching the main square. You get to visit the museums and churches in the area along other very historical spots. Yuvanesh also had knowledge of the history of the city and would tell me throughout the tour. He also takes your photos at all the sites you visit to make sure you have a memory of the tour

        I took a solo trip Ayyanar as a guide, and a second guide who was in training. Was well taken care of. We did the river cruise (highly recommended), I took a brief trishaw ride with a local guy who told me some more history of the city, did a walking tour of the couple blocks that make up the core of the historic area, and we at at a local restaurant (only tourist in the place) for the famous local dish: chicken with rice balls. The only caution to be aware of: it is a 1 hour, 45 minute trip each way to Malacca from KL, so although the tour is set at 8 hours you really only have about 4 hours in Malacca itself. I thought this was plenty of time anyway.

        Melaka as refered to in the local dialect is a historic coastal town that took us about 2 hours to get to from Kuala Lumpur. Our private tour guide Nantha picked us up in his immaculate vehicle and gave us an excellent blow by blow lesson on the history of Malaysia linking to that of Malacca as we made our way there.
        The museum, river cruise and ride on the "music bikes" makes for an exciting visit coupled with the rich history that marries Portugese, Dutch and British cultural and influences in the region.
        A well worthy tour.

        We were lucky enough to be guided by Nantha on the excursion to Malacca.
        He was able to share his wealth of knowledge about Malaysia and Malacca.
        The tour of the city is very complete and allows to visit the important sites of the city.
        I warmly recommend Nantha's services.

        This was a wonderful day trip to visit a very important historical and scenic city of Malacca, and was a nice excursion out of the hustle of KL. From where we were staying near KLCC, the ride will take about two hours. It took us longer as we stopped for breakfast and another detour to visit a memorial of some relatives. Mr. Leong, our wonderful guide, was extremely accommodating and adjusted graciously. In Malacca, Mr. Leong took us to all the key sites and we were afforded ample time to tour and take pictures. Learning about the history of Malacca through the centuries was most interesting to us. Also notably, the food was very good. We stopped for the requisite, chicken rice balls, and other dishes. But Mr. Leong and our driver really made the experience wonderful, taking such good care of us. Highly recommend this tour.
