About Batucaves: Batu Caves is a limestone hill that has a series of caves and cave temples in Gombak, Selangor. The limestone forming Batu Caves is said to be around 400 million years old. Some of the cave entrances were used as shelters by the indigenous Temuan people (a tribe of Orang Asli). The cave is one of the most popular Hindu shrines outside India, and is dedicated to Lord Murugan. It is the focal point of the Hindu festival of Thaipusam in Malaysia. Batu Caves in short also referred as 10th Caves or Hill for Lord Murugan as there are six important holy shrines in India and four more in Malaysia. The three others in Malaysia are Kallumalai Temple in Ipoh, Tanneermalai Temple in Penang and Sannasimalai Temple in Malacca. Note: - Keeping your eyes open to be aware of the monkeys.

We had a wonderful guide Rajan D. who was very knowledgeable in the historical and current Malaysia, We saw Batu caves, waterfalls and toured the tin factory - Royal Selangor and beautiful hand painted silk factory. We also had a great local lunch and stopped at the Twin Towers, a beautiful Chinese temple and the Kings mosque. We were lucky to have Rajan on this private tour and which we highly recommend.
What a fantastic day we had with Indran! Docking at Port Kelang Indran picked us up directly from the terminal and in a very busy day we stopped off at the Petronas Towers, visited the Selangor Pewter museum, Batu Caves, waterfalls and even manged to squeeze in an amazing lunch. All the stops were well worth it! A great day out, enjoyed by all and highly recommended. Thank you Indran - Richard, Sacha, Brian and Sue!
Bat caves is interesting, culturally and socially. It can get crowded as you drive in, but amazingly it accommodates all the Taurus and worshipers. Note that you do not have to buy a scarf at the bottom… You can see in the temple without going in. There are some shops at the top for souvenirs. The waterfalls are amazing. There are six levels called ARA’s one through six. Each one is a a waterfall and a pool so it accommodates all level levels of climbers.
Excellent service, loved the trip to the Batu caves and the waterfalls, unfortunately the hot springs wasn’t available, but our driver whose name I have lost, was brilliant and took us to the Grand Palace. He would have taken us elsewhere, but we had a lovely day and was ready to return to our ship.
Joe Tan was a phenomenal tour guide for our day-long private tour in Penang. He was extremely knowledgeable about the country’s history, religious temples, and all the different sights. He accompanied us in all locations, taking us efficiently through everything there was to see, while showing us all the best photo spots. Joe even took over 100 photos of our group and sent them to us digitally on WhatsApp. We never felt rushed and appreciated Joe’s enthusiasm in sharing detailed information on what made a particular sight special. From the top of Penang Hill to Kek Lok Si temple, to the Batik factory to street art in George Town, we got to experience it all with Joe’s expert guidance. Highly recommend this very personalized tour!
Very informative tour, waterfalls were amazing, Batu caves a must see, saw outside City center as well. Mr Rajah was very good and very chatty, made you feel welcome.
Our driver Kumar was absolutely lovely. He answered all of our questions and was a great driver. When he knew the hot springs were closed, he made sure we got to see things not originally included on our itinerary. The reason for the one docked star was for the lack of communication/accountability on the company’s part. The hot springs were closed and we were sold and paid for a tour that included the springs. Additionally, I think it’s important to tell your customers that women must have their knees and shoulders covered if they want to enter the Batu Caves, rather than the driver telling us last minute and having to purchase other close items there.
Our driver/guide, Fauzi, patiently waited for us to get off our ship and take a 30min Coach ride to the Cruise Terminal. The port is many miles from KL. We visited the King’s Palace, Batu Caves and Batik workshop store before having lunch at a clean local restaurant. Then to some waterfalls and photos at the Twin Towers. Not rushed at any point we were back about 7 hours. We certainly felt we saw and learned a lot about KL.
Harry is a great guide. We learned so much and saw so much in just a few hours. He is knowledgeable and very friendly.
Our guide Kumar was amazing. We learned so much about the culture, people and places we visited. He has a deep knowledge and was able to answer all our questions. I highly recommend this tour with Kumar Gauri as your guide. Great day !
