About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- kristynamachova0 contributionsBatu Caves and Cultural tour experienceI did a tour today with Youvanesh and it was great and comfortable. My favourite spot was the Thean Hou temple. Thats a total must visit if you are in KL. If you travel solo Youvanesh will even take pictures of you so thats a nice bonus for the trip. Also he is vety nice and will answer any questions about tour or anything in KL in general so overall a great experience.Written 16 September 2024

We saw so many amazing sights and feel that we truly saw this great city in a day! Prabaz was punctual, a very safe driver and always seemed to manage to get us to each stop just ahead of all the big tour buses. Perfect day all round!!!! Cannot recommend enough!Written 12 September 2024
- hollypF2802WH0 contributionsPerfect morning tour (Batu Caves/KL)We had an amazing morning visiting the Batu Caves. The place itself is amazing and somewhere we have wanted to visit for many years. Our guide, Sathesh, took some great photos and did not rush us on our visit. We then were taken to the Chinese temple which we thoroughly enjoyed. We learnt a lot and were allowed to take more lovely photos. We then visited the market streets at our own leisure. We have been on many trips before and have learnt that the tour guides really do make the trips. Sathesh was the perfect host. He was super friendly and so knowledgable (not to mention a great photographer!). We loved enjoying the tour at our own pace and would highly recommend Sathesh as a tour guide. Thank you!Written 11 September 2024

The driver/guide Ravikumar did not really know much about the sites. He also kept asking how much I paid for this tour, how much I paid for others I had booked with other companies. It was strange because he kept asking about money. During a stop, he met some of his friends and suddenly overheard them speaking inappropriately. Lastly, he boasted about how he had showed us beyond the itinerary because of a stop at a local food store. He wasn't clear about the trip overall. 3 stars because he drove, and we got to see the sights.

Positive: It was nice to see the various local sites in the morning hours when traffic is lighter and the temperature is still pleasant. Negative: We feel our booking is more for a driver service rather than a guide. We were dropped off at each location to explore on our own. Our driver Ravi said we should do a google search to get info on the Batu Caves. If you have an itinerary in mind, consider booking a private car for the half day instead and it would probably work out to be much cheaper.

It was so so, the driver had no energy or wanted to explain more about the sites, very basic information. He was complaining with the traffic and saying he was gonna keep it short because we were running out of time. He was nice to me, but I wouldn’t buy another tour with him again. Didn’t worth the price I paid for what I got.

This title is false. This is NOT a tour. I repeat. This is not a tour. It is a private driver to drive you to all of these highlights, does not even include water, and is so upcharged it is quite frankly ridiculous. I recommend anyone going to these sites to use grab instead and pay $15 instead of $70. The driver did not know a lot about these sites, certainly not more than the average grab driver. The title of this is quite frankly deceitful and seems to be ripping people off of their money. Not sure why it has rave reviews. I gave it two stars because the driver was friendly and nice, but save yourself the money and just use grab.

We were looking for a shorter city tour and thought it would be cool to see the Batu Caves, so we booked a half day private tour. Our driver and guide, Guna, was excellent and told us about the history of each location and then let us explore on our own. We ended up seeing not only the Batu Caves and Hindu shrine, but also the Batik Centre for silk goods, National Mosque, and Thean Hou Temple. He also offered to take us to the Central Market and Chinatown, but we declined as we had already been. All in all it was a wonderful experience and a good way to experience KL in an afternoon.

It was a great tour! There was no rush, we had plenty of time to visit the sights. It was also good way to get an overview of Kuala Lumpur.
Siva is a really good driver and guide, it was really nice driving with him!
I would recommend to do the tour in the morning as the crowds at Batu Caves build up quickly throughout the day.

We had a wonderful half day private tour with Ayyanar of Travel Local Malaysia. We first visited the Batu Caves then a Batik Factory before being taken to the airport for our departure.
We were picked up at our hotel and driven to the Batu Caves. Along the way Ayyanar pointed out interesting sights and gave us an overview of what to expect at the Batu Caves.
We were fortunate to arrive a little after 8 in the morning before the crowds arrived. It was raining hard as we approached the Batu Caves sign. Ayyanar provided us with an umbrella, gave us an overview, and allowed us to enjoy the area on our own. It happened to be a public holiday so families began to arrive with offerings. The monkeys were stealth and grabbed plastic bags carried by visitors and fruits left at the altar.
Following our Batu Cave visit we went to a Batik Factory. We watched a Batik artist at work, heard about the Batik process, and then had the opportunity to shop. Again Ayyanar waited patiently. The Batik items were reasonably priced and the wide variety of colors, block print and hand done patterns allowed us to find just the right gift items.
At the end of our tour Ayyanar drove us to the airport.

Half day private tour to the Batu Caves is highly recommended. Our guide Prabaz was excellent - very attentive to our needs and flexible to change the itinerary for us. He cared about our experience, provided lots of local insight and added in lots of additional stops along the way. We saw so much, thank you! If you only have short time in KL then this is the trip to book.

We traveled as an extended family and the tour was excellent. Hazlin was an exceptional guide and was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She patiently explained things to the children who loved it. We would recommend the 9am start as the traffic builds up by noon. Our driver was very professional and we always felt safe. Highly recommended.

This was a three-hour trip (two-way) if you’re staying within Kuala Lumpur City, Malaysia. It is accessible by train or via Grab (go there with at least three more persons to share the transpo bill) if you are on a budget like me. Be on your comfortable clothes and shoes. Check the weather before going there because the stairs going up may be too slippery/risky when it is raining. Don’t be too surprise if monkeys in the vicinity will get your bottled water on your way up/down.

I think you sent message to us (reviewers) instead of the company. We booked next day so the company was flexible but it was mainly a driver. He gave little to no tour info.

Our driver had a mid size crossover that could seat up to 4 people. Since this is a private tour, our party of 2 were the only group for this excursion. I have heard of smaller sedans being used for this tour, so best if your coordinate with the company in advance on vehicle choice.
