The experience started bad the Enterprise thought that I had made the cancellation of the tour and there was almost 2 hours late to start it making me lose almost all the time, the tour should last 1 hour visiting batu caves, 30 minutes in the litte india, 30 minutes in the tehan hou, 30 min in the chinatown, 30 min in the national mosque and 30 min in the central market, making the total duration of 3 hours and a half, because of the delay at the start of the tour we took a lot of transit, when we arrived in batu caves the guide said that it would not give to enter pq if we didn't have to go to the other points (although the operator/chefe had said that because of the unforeseen we would have more time to walk), we talked that all this well we would go to the beginning of the tour, we did not see everything in the end just 50 minutes in the batu caves and when we were going to the nearest place for a long walk to town we were already at the end of the hotel and we started from the fall to go to town, then we were going to the least 30 and we did not get everything at the end of the end of 2
The driver tried to make the most of our tour while explaining everything in details. We managed to see most of the important sightseeings. Definitely would choose again
