Great tour operator. Was punctual. Had ample time to see the places we booked. Friendly driver cum guide.
Excellent tour! Good amount of time at each spot. Driver tells you exactly where to go & history. Loved the caves & monkeys - make sure to leave water bottles and bags in the car so the monkeys don’t bother you. Definitely a highlight seeing them. The batik and pewter factories were nice additions to the tour - and air conditioned.

We went to Batu Caves as a family and had a very nice experience, thanks to our tour guide, Kumar. Kumar was very patient and friendly, especially with our family. He was easy to talk to and explained the history in a simple way that everyone could understand. At first, we could not find him. Instead of leaving, he kept looking for us. He called his office and managed to find us, which showed that he really cared and did not give up on us. He was also very polite and helpful during the tour. At one point, he even opened the door for us, which was very kind. Overall, Kumar made our family visit enjoyable and stress-free. We would definitely recommend him.

This was a lovely tour with Mohammed as my guide. I rode in a very comfortable car and had a bottle of water readily available. We visited a pewter company before going to the Batu Caves. I was given plenty of time to walk up the 272 stairs to the cave and temple. I’m pleased to rate this as a 5 star tour.
