Great tour - Huge thank you to our driver/guide. Helpful and knowledgeable and helped make it a day to remember. The caves are amazing, and we saw so much else in the day....all the main things you should see as a tourist, with our driver scheduling us and making sure we got back to our ship in plenty of time. Sounds an expensive tour, but even for just two of us in the car, we saved compared to if we had gone on the tour with organised by our cruise ship. So if four of you share, this would be a huge saving.

What a fantastic day. Picked up on time from our accommodation and on the road to the Batu Caves. Our driver and tour guide Sathia provided great information about the Hindu gods and the relevance of the cave to the people, including some of her own experiences. We had plenty of time to visit and climb the 272 steps. We then departed to visit a Batik workshop where we watched artists at work and even had a try ourselves. We also visited the memorial to fallen soldiers, the parliament building and the new royal palace. Along the way Sathia provided background and insight into the Malaysian system of government and general facts about the area. The Chinese temple was amazing, so vibrant and interesting. We were able to spend time looking around and exploring the area. Part of the tour included a visit to the Petronus Twin Towers. This was a great experience with views that stretched for miles. We also visited the largest Mosque with room for 15000 people to gather and got caught in a tropical downpour!! The visit also included the Railway station and the now converted Courthouse complex. Sathia is also a great photographer!!! She was very happy to take photos of us at each of the sites, and made a special effort to get photos in front of the Petronus Towers. Thanks for a fantastic day Sathia.

We only had 2 days in Kuala lumpur so booked this tour to get an insight into the city.This was a great choice as Sathia our guide was brilliant and made the day fun. She was so knowledgeable and friendly and let us choose how long we spent in each place. She tailored the day to what we wanted to do and we think it was well worth the money. Highly recommend this tour and our fantastic guide Sathia.

Had a wonderful day touring the city with Sathia. The Batu Caves and the Petronus Towers were amazing and Sathia was very knowledgeable at each stop we went to. We stopped at many different places and I was amazed at how much we were able to pack into the day. Thank you Sathia it was amazing to see your city with you.

Tour was excellent and our guide was super.. the only downside was the additional 50$ you get asked for the day before.. be careful of that .. even if you select the cruise port as pickup you will get charged this …. We contacted both agents and they say you have to pay .. no idea why they don’t add this to the original booking .. for that part of the service I would rate this zero

Would highly recommend this tour. Especially the tour guide we had. Her name is Sathia. She is absolutely wonderful and made sure all our expectations were met. We had a full day of site seeing! Sathia was very knowledgeable on all the sites she took us to. Plus, she let us have the freedom to explore without being overbearing, which we loved. She gave us the details behind the sites and off we would go. However, out of respect and keeping on track you need to be back to the drop off points when she tells you to be back. It makes for a successful, fun and full tour. We can't thank Sathia enough for making our tour memorable and we're already looking forward to coming back. Thank you ever so much Sathia! We loved Kuala Lumpur!!!!👍🤗🤩

We had a private tour of Kuala Lumpur: we saw the Petronas towers and went up to the observation deck, bypassing long lines: we also saw the Batu caves, along with national monument, independence square, royal palace and Chinese temple…. Our driver guide was awesome, very knowledgeable and showed us as much of KL as our limited time of the cruise ship allowed. He even picked us up half an hour earlier than scheduled and brought us back to the ship on time. Just an fyi: pickup and return to port Klang cost us $56 more, but the ticket did say that additional charges would apply for cruise terminal pickup. Overall, it was a great experience and a great tour with an awesome tour guide.
