About the operator
- Explorer6171527638700Super Personal trip in Kuala LumpurAram, my guide was very good. Punctual and nice. He showed me all the interesting and nice places in Kuala Lumpur and described a lot about history, culture and Malasian habits. It was a very nice day. You can be sure that It is worth your monet and time.
- rayanthonyr201600All the KL Highlights in a DayI had the pleasure of experiencing a full-day tour of Kuala Lumpur with Nantha, and it was truly exceptional. From the moment we met, his enthusiasm for the city's culture and history was infectious. Nantha's knowledge of the city's landmarks, such as the Petronas Towers and Batu Caves, was impressive, and he provided fascinating insights throughout the day.
- dontwatchmeh00A great morning tour - would highly recommend!We had such a great morning with our guide, Vera, visiting the Batu caves, the mosque and Chinese temple. Vera was knowledgeable and very relaxed, which made the tour very enjoyable. We also stopped at some extra spots, including a Batik craft workshop and Central Market. Really good fun!
- Traveler2261493111200Very Long trip , Beautiful place Buy not worth spending a full dayNice place but the driving from KL was 4 hours in each direction. Not worth a full day, we were picked up at 6 am and returned 20:30
- felix_infy00AwesomeA wonderful iternary. Visited BATU caves and Strawberry farm on the way to cable car station. Guide was very informative and friendly.
- Global0970820268900EXCELLENTEXCELLENT EXPERIENCE!!! MR AYYANAR WAS RHE BEST!!! VERY HELPFUL AND POLITE.THE CAR VERY CLEAN.HE GAVE US INFORMATION ABOUT EVERYTHING
- Vacation0036854430500Awesome!It was an awesome tour. The guide was there on time and we were able to cover a lot of sites. Fully recommended
- R1207EDkarens00Must do if you want to see the major sites in one day.Excellent tour with a very knowledgeable,courteous and friendly driver Nantha. If you have limited time in KL this is a must do. All the main sites in one day, it’s a great way to see the best of KL.
- Laila P00Absolutely worth it!My husband and I did the day trip to Taman Negara. Our driver MJ was very punctual and easy to communicate with. He contacted us the day before to set everything up and give us helpful information. During the drive he shared interesting insights about the country and landscape. At the National Park he introduced us to our tour guide. Seeing the rainforest and meeting the native people was an amazing experience we certainly will never forget. Shooting the rapids on our way back to the starting point was fun and the guide made sure that everybody was soaking wet by the end. The following lunch in one of the floating restaurants was the ideal ending to an exciting day. After lunch one of the local drivers picked us up from the restaurant and drove us on the back of his pickup truck to a parking lot outside of the National Park where our driver MJ was waiting for us. Despite a bit of traffic due to rush hour the drive back to KL was very comfortable and MJ dropped us off safe and sound at the hotel.
- Q7997KKstacyd00Fantastic!Great tour, the sites were beautiful!!! Our tour guide, Ayyanar, made the trip so well worth it, he is amazing!!! Ayyanar is so knowledgeable, very polite, and made us feel safe!
- andreean65800Very good choiceMelaka is a historical city, a mix of cultures, it worths a visit. Our driver and guide, Jay, was excellent.
- Annalisa V00Amazing Malay DayVisiting Malaysia for a Conference and I wanted to pack in as much as I can in one day. I booked a day tour. My driver Guna was punctual, friendly, knowledgeable, and the best! We covered so much in one day-the Batu Caves, Memorial Park, Independence Square area, the Central Market, China Town, Petronas Towers with tour just to name a few. Guna even took me to the area of the river where Kuala Lumpur got its name from. We also visited the Hand Made Batik Factory-- highly recommmed as there are a lot of fakes arpund. He had the answer to all of my Malaysian questions about its food, commerce, religion, population. I hope you are lucky enough to get him.
- Safari5759756844400The cultural tour for KL: Batu Caves, Thean Hou Temple, National Mosque很棒的吉隆坡文化之旅!非常推薦導遊Tharan,一路上分享了許多馬來西亞的資訊,讓初次旅遊的我更快的認識這個國家。旅途非常舒適,謝謝導遊Tharan舒適的服務,也讓我愛上這個充滿活力與文化多樣的國家!
- Voyager1592410915000Amazing trip!Karti, was nothing but punctual, knowledgeable and professional. He arrived at our hotel early and took care of everything, from purchasing the tickets to scheduling our day. We were so pleased with his service and cannot recommend him enough.
- Flyer0638697871300A wonderful day in KL!We had only 1 full day in KL and we wanted to see as much as possible. Our Captain Vera was very helpful and explained everything to us. At the end of the day we were more than happy! Thank you very much Vera.

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 went for a trip to see the Taman Negara National Park in the jungle. Walking through the jungle was very fascinating, we had a great tour and saw a lot of nice things, we even could visit some native people living in the jungle!
Our driver MJ did a perfect job. While the 3 hours drive into the jungle, we had a nice chat with him with a lot of laughing. MJ was very friendly, amenable & courteous.
On the ride back home there was a giant traffic jam, so the drive back took us 6 hours instead of 3. Even though we were on the road for so long, we had a nice time inside the car with MJ. It was also his birthday and he had to work, but he wasn't mad or hectic at all. We were chatting nicely and laughed a lot, making the best of the situation. When we arrived in Kuala Lumpur, we saw the Petronas Twin Towers, shining bright and pretty and we adored them. Even though it was his birthday and we were on the road for so long (and his family had to have dinner without him), he offered us to go there in order to take some nice pictures, before heading to the hotel. After that, he even drove us to another very nice building (which I don't know the name of) to take some pictures. After that, he drove us to the Hotel. It was a very pleasant ride & we had a good time with MJ. We can recommend him to everyone who wants to make a tour in or around the city of Kuala Lumpur.

We’re only in KL for 2 days & booked this trip hoping to get an insight into the city - we were not disappointed. We had Mr Thiru as our guide who was fantastic; he was extremely knowledgeable as well as being very friendly & he was very happy to help us visit the RSC, one of our aims on our trip. He also ordered the itinerary to avoid the crowds & was happy to skip the shopping stop & show us the confluence of the 2 rivers instead.
The Thean Hou Temple was stunning, we also visited the National Mosque before visiting the Batu Caves, a lot of steps but worth the climb. Medeka Square was very interesting & we learnt so much about Malaysia & Kuala Lumpur - it really was a fabulous morning!

We saw Batu Caves, Temple, Mosque and Batik
This was a great way to get around without the stress of trying to get a taxi or uber. I read other reviews about it just being a taxi service so I had low expectations. I booked it purely for the convenience of getting from one place to the other conveniently. It may well have cost more than ubers (don't actually know tho') but I would definitely book again.
Pick up was on time. Driver was friendly and helpful and gave us just the right amount of time in each place. He did not get out of the car with us but gave us all the information we needed to know where to go to visit each place. We never felt rushed and we never felt like we had too much time - it was just right. He gave us a little bit of information but not like a private guide would have done. We like a private tour but tbh I'm not sure that is really necessary for these locations.
I would highly recommend but if you're wanting someone to give you a guided tour of each place, this isn't for you.
Please note: the middle seat in the back of the car was a lap belt.

Fauzan was a great tour guide and really went through the effort of showing me around the city and explaining the various historical and cultural aspects of the places we were visiting. The car was comfortable and water/candies/hand sanitizer were available.
I thought it was an overall great introduction to the culture and religion of Kuala Lumpur.

Excellent tour, visted Baku caves, Little India, Chinese temple, National Mosque, Central markets and China town.
Our guide and driver, Kuby, escorted all the way, and was very knowledge about the sites we visited, even sharing his photos of times he'd visited in the past, plus when driving around KL he pointed out all the significant sites and buildings.
We were very fortunate to get such a great driver and guide.
Throughly recommended
Only downside was we had a monsoon during the last couple of sites, but Kuby had an umbrella ready for us to use!!

The "tour" consisted of a driver and his friend driving us (a couple) from one location to the next with zero "tour guide information". The guide's remained in the car and I think fell asleep, took the opportunity to do some shopping and for 20 mins during the drive took a zoom video call for a college class. It would have been much cheaper (cost was $35 per person) to take a grab to the 3-4 locations. The locations were good - temple, mosque, market and caves but the tour was pathetic. I do not recommend this trip. Take a grab.

What vehicle is used for the tours? Is it a large bus, mini van, car? and How many people are in the tour?

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.

I know that my tour guide had another tour right after our half day tour to do and would not have been able to adjust the time. See if the hotel you are staying at can help you. There are many different tours in KL.

It says the tour is between 9:00 to 2:00. Is there any possibilities it could be between 8:00 and 1:00?

Is it best, or possible, to book tours once there? That way making sure the actual people in KL get the money? Thank-you
