Had trouble with pick up,...

Had trouble with pick up, the drivers app said a different hotel than my app info. The tour operator argued with me. Eventually the driver picked us up, but not before going to another wrong hotel. The pick up was an hour and 10 minutes late. The driver was nice but rushing us through the experience. He also said we didn't have r time to get lunch even though the tour operator said we would stop for lunch. The Batu Caves and Elephants were lovely and worth it, but I would not recommend the tour operator.

Nice place to visit, beware of monkeys)), some do try to bother you and steal loose items.

Our driver was friendly and reliable, the car was comfortable, guide was not included but our driver was knowledgeable.

We had a wonderful time on this tour. Start early in the day to beat the heat! The driver was not chatty and did not speak great English but delivered us to each stop as expected. Women should be sure to wear long pants or a skirt for Batu Caves or they will sell you a sarong for 15 ringgits. The elephant sanctuary was amazing. We purchased a guide that explained so much and helped us access to feed many of the elephants. Such a memorable day!

Do it! Awesome experience!

Our driver Nagen was excellent. He recommended a specific guide at the elephant sanctuary who was wonderful! The elephants were so gentle and sweet, and appeared very well cared for. Interacting with them was the highlight of my trip to Malaysia!

Amazing Experience!

Great day! Hotel pickup was prompt, Batu Caves was first and before crowds. (Loved the monkeys.) Then on to the Elephant Conservation center. Definitely recommend getting a guide there! Bring cash to pay the center directly - worth it. Our driver, Nagen, was excellent!! He was thoughtful, friendly, and had good suggestions. Great private tour! Thank you!!

Great Day Out!

Batu Caves are wonderful! Well worth the climb up the stairs too… The elephant sanctuary was the highlight of our trip to KL. We had a local guide in the sanctuary which is an extra cost paid there in cash but it’s a really good choice as you see lots more and get close, close enough to stroke, to some of the elephants!

Batu caves and Elephant Sanctuary

Transport was a private taxi which suited us perfectly. The driver contacted us via Watsapp to confirm pick up and had good knowledge of the two places we visited. We went early morning to the caves which was ideal as gets very busy. Just a note you will need to book a guide if you want to interact/feed the elephants.

Well worth a Visit.

Nice Day out. Batu Caves are amazing. Elephant Sanctuary very good - but disappointed to see only about 4 Elephants. But Wife fully enjoyed feeding and getting up close with them. Our Driver was very knowledgable and a safe Driver. Car comfortable and clean. Recommended.
