Rajan was a wonderful guide, easily pivoting from the planned agenda to tailor the tour to our specific interests and destinations. We saw temples and shrines, the Aquarium, the beautiful 360 view from the KL Tower, the Butterfly Garden and had time for lunch, all in half a day, and smoothly navigating traffic in air-conditioned comfort. He was friendly and engaging and offered thoughtful insights into the culture and history of Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur. We had a great time!
Great way to orient yourselves to Kuala Lumpur our guide Ruben was very knowledgeable and helped us gain a greater understanding of the city
Batu Caves was stunning. My tour guide was so helpful and was happy to change the programme to fit my needs.
