Thean Hou Temple, a 6-tiered pagoda temple atop Robson Heights. Completed in 1987 and officially opened in 1989, it was built by the Hainanese community of Kuala Lumpur and is dedicated to the goddess Tian Hou (The Heavenly Mother).

A very good tour. Sathesh was a great tour operator and picked us up from our hotel and dropped us back. The high light was the National Mosque-it was very beautiful and peaceful. Our guide had a lot of great knowledge of the area and was fun to hang out with.
Medium. The driver did not accompany us on the excursions, just dropped us off in front. He significantly shortened the time of the visit( 1 hour) by zapping Indian district and nd gave us no explanation about Chinatown. In short, a grab driver would have done the trick with some very general explanations about the country
Great guided tour with clear and engaging explanations from the guide. The information was well presented and easy to follow, making the visit both interesting and enjoyable. Highly recommended.
We had an amazing afternoon with Louis! I highly recommend this tour. The caves are definitely a sight to see and this is the perfect way to experience it. Louis's kindness, knowledge, and flexibility made this a highlight of our vacation and a memory we'll cherish for years.
Our guide Janar was very insightful and kind! We visited the Batu Caves and multiple cultural temples including the national mosque.

What an amazing tour. Aru was a brilliant guide. Very informative and had loads of historical detail for us. Also practical details - ie taking shoes off at temple, covering legs, where the restrooms were situated. Would definitely recommend this tour. Comfy car and a good driver.
