William is the best
William the tour guide was very quick on his feet and made a last minute adjustment to the trip itinerary so that we were able to enjoy our trip as much as possible. There was known high traffic of travelers flooding the Batu caves in the morning of our trip so William changed our plans so we did Batu caves second and highlands first to avoid large lines. We arrived at the cable car for highlands before a very large group of tourists arrived and William made sure he prepped us with a game plan on how to navigate the cable car station so that we could make our way up before the masses, and it was successful it was a good call. When we went to Batu caves there was not much crowd at all and even though we only had about 1.5 hours there, with the small amount of people there I was able to explore all of the temple and cave area, it was a lot of fun. Also, before we got to Batu caves, William did a great job giving us the history of the place so we know which gods were worshipped in which areas and gave us an idea of what is was all for, it made my experience seeing all the temple that much more special as I was able to give prayers to the right gods for the right things. He also did a good history for the highland but I really appreciated the Batu caves most. He did a good job providing balance of education and funny commentary, and giving us quiet times to relax and enjoy the ride

Good value for the money....
Good value for the money. We enjoyed seeing the monkeys and fireflies. The dinner was also very good. We suggest ordering the mud crabs with dinner if you like crabs. We spent way too much time on the boat at the end as the bioluminescent micro-organisms were not easily visible in the muddy water. We also suggest spending less time with the monkeys.

Excellent Tour guide & tour location
Lionel Doss is highly recommended. He is well versed in Malaysian, specifically Melaka history & culture. I learned a lot from him. He’s professional, knowledgeable, courteous, respectful. My sincere thanks to him and the company for providing such an excellent service.

Fascinating tour outside KL
A really interesting experience. I didn't know what to expect but I learned a lot during this tour and Gerard was a fantastic guide. If you have a bit more time in KL and fancy heading North with a slightly cooler climate to learn about this Jungle region then I'd definitely recommend it.

Great Choice For A Little of Everything Within A Short Time
This tour is great choice for a first time visitor to Kuala Lumpur. The 4-hour itinerary packs a variety of experiences, blending nature, culture, history, art and shopping in half a day. It's a great introduction to Malaysian history, culture and tourism.
Alexsia is an incredibly considerate, friendly, knowledgeable and experienced guide. He will give you useful tips and interesting information about all the sites you will visit. I highly recommend him!

KL must do tour!
This tour captures all the essential locations of interest in and around Kuala Lumpur. As first time visitors and only staying for two full days it allowed us to see the sights and then decide what we wanted to re-visit or experience on our second full day.
Our trip began nice and early when Visnu picked us up from our hotel, which was really convenient and then allowed us to visit both the King’s Palace and the Batu Caves before the crowds got really busy. Do not miss the Batu Caves!! A really profound experience and not that far from the city.
We then visited the towers, Petronas and KL. Note that you may have difficulty getting tickets to ascend these towers (if you want to) if you don’t book well in advance - we tried booking over a week before when we were still in the UK and couldn’t get them. That said, it didn’t diminish our experience at all - Petronas in particular is hugely impressive. We returned at night where we were treated to a fabulous ‘dancing fountains’ display which you must see. And if you have loads of money then a mall at the base of the towers will be right up your street.
Visnu took us to the Chinese Market at Petaling Street and we then visited Central Market which has food courts on both floors and where you can get great value food and drink - so that was dinner sorted!!
In the afternoon we visited a number of locations with opportunities for photographs and we returned to our hotel tired but very happy with our day.
A special word for Visnu, a great driver and very friendly and knowledgable local man who made our tour even more enjoyable. Thank you Visnu!! 🙏🏼
We would definitely recommend both the tour and Visnu, especially to newcomers to this amazing city.

A nice trip out to see the wider Kuala Lumpur...
First rate tour. Our guide, LG, was on time, friendly and very informative. The minibus was clean and comfortable. The fireflies are quite a distance from Kuala Lumpur, but this tour is broken up nicely with a stop at the Hindu temple and then to see the monkeys. Dinner before the boat and fireflies was good value and plentiful. Thank you LG for a memorable tour.

Must do!
Great day trip! This tour takes you to see a different side of Malaysia, one less hustle and bustle than KL.
Our guide, Kugan, was entertaining organized and punctual. His descriptions about life and customs in Malaysia were informative and humorous.
Maleka is definitely worth a visit and the river cruise allows you to see so much vibrant street art. My favorite part was probably the last part of the day where I could wander into random shops. I picked up a few art pieces and was exposed to many kore vendors.
From a practical standpoint, the vehicle was clean and safe-great driver as well. And everything followed the schedule except a few guests who were repeatedly late (20+ minutes). But that's not the fault of the guides.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
If you prefer to base in one city rather than switching hotels every day or two, day trips from Kuala Lumpur bring great swathes of Malaysia within reach. From the UNESCO World Heritage-listed city of Melaka to the Cameron Highlands tea plantations and the modern planned city of Putrajaya, there’s culture aplenty. Or take the time to discover nature, whether hiking tropical forests, getting up close and personal with orangutans, or gliding through mangroves thronged with fireflies.
