We had a fantastic time. Nesh, our driver and guide was knowledgeable, courteous and lots of fun! He made our tour very enjoyable and we were well looked after. Thanks Nesh!
This was really nice experience with gide Shiva. We see interesting places in Kuala Lumpura. Shiva knows everything!!!
Sathia was an incredible host in this private tour. She was able to provide suggestions and many historical facts. Definitely would recommend her.
My husband and I did this tour with Louis as our driver today. He was great, knowledgeable, friendly, and his car was comfortable and clean. He gave us enough time to enjoy the sights, so we didn't feel too hurried. The early start was ideal for Batu Caves. Not too crowded nor too hot. Don't take food there! The only people accosted by the monkeys were those with food.
We enjoyed our tour with Prasan. He was a great guide. We saw a lot and the timing was just right.
Efficient tour covering a lot of sites we wouldn’t find on our own. Jacop our guide was flexible and knowledgeable
Highly recommend! Our guide Sathia was very knowledgeable and friendly. The caves were amazing (I’m glad we got there early in the day) and the temples were beautiful. China town was great for shopping if you can allow yourself some time afterwards.
Very good and informative tour. Luis was our tour guide and he is knowledgeable and took his time to show us the city. Culturally immersive tour.
Aru is a very acknowledgeable tour guide and experienced driver. He was able to answer any questions we had and was considerate to our needs. We really enjoyed spending the day with him.
Our tour guide Ben was awesome, he was really friendly which made our first visit to KL and tour of KL’s best cultural sites memorable. Would recommend this tour, and thank you Ben.
