We really enjoyed our tour to Batu Caves, Batik and Selangor Pewter. Our guide Fauzi picked us up in time and took us to each location explaining a little about each. What made our tour excellent was Fauzi’s knowledge about Malaysia’s history and present day. He shared so much interesting information as we drove to each location.

When you come to KL don't miss out the Batu caves. It's truly mystical, interesting and a beautiful place. Absolutely loved the waterfalls. The nature is magical there. I wish i could have spend more time there. Actually to me perfect tour would have been just the two. But that just me and my thight schedule. You get to see a lot on this tour.

Solo travelling and in Malaysia for a few days; very worthwhile trip if you want to see a few things in one hit, also get to see some places that you wouldn't necessarily know about or go to. Tour guide is very knowledgeable and gives you plenty of time on your own at each location. V good 🇲🇾👌🏻🤙🏻

My luck would have it that upon arrival to KL, I was hit with the worst case of traveler's diarrhea one could imagine. I ended up having to postpone this Batu Caves & Countryside daytrip on short notice, but Mr. Zaid and the tour operators were so flexible, communicative, and understanding. They checked-in in me every day to make sure my condition was in fit shape for the daytrip and that I would be able to fully enjoy the trip. I really appreciated how much they cared. The overall trip was 3.5 hours long and it was efficient and organized. Our driver first took us to the Royal Selangor, which is a fascinating look at Malaysia's tin history and a great place to purchase one-of-a-kind tin souvenirs and home goods. Then we visited the majestic Batu Caves-- I highly recommend coming with long pants, shoudlers covered or a long skirt as well as with sneakers; otherwise, you will not be led up the steps into the Hindu temple inside the caves. Watching the monkeys on the hunt for food was an added entertainment as my group and I climbed the stairs. The final leg of our trip was a visit to the batek shop, which teaches visitors about traditional batek silk painting. Overall, everything was very informative and cool-- this is a trip anyone of any age would enjoy. Highly recommend.
