A perfect day with Indran!
Indran was a phenomenal guide, and we learned so much on this tour! The batik & pewter factories were so interesting. It is awesome to have locally made souvenirs & gifts. The waterfalls were beautiful and provided much needed cooling. Finished with a delicious lunch near by - a perfect day!

An interesting trip with a good guide.
Pick up at my hotel was punctual and good communications beforehand. Our tour guide LG was very polite and informative.
The stopping points before the Firefly boat trip were interesting and reasonably quiet despite it being a public holiday. We enjoyed the Firefly Boat Trip despite there being less Fireflies than expected.

Wonderful Kuala Lumpur exploration with Jennifer
Jennifer was a great tour guide. She arrived at our hotel early to pick us up. She had a lot of interesting tidbits about Kuala Lumpur. When she learned that we wanted to know more about Brickfields, she made a special effort to drive through much of the area to see if we recognized anything. She has a good sense of humor. She has lived in Malaysia all her life and we enjoyed learning about the diversity of the people in Kuala Lumpur. We liked that she shared stories from her diverse family. While we went to the typical attractions, what stood out was that Jennifer took us to a lovely local batik store where we learned about batik and tried our hand at putting dye on a cloth. We eventually purchased a scarf and it was touching that Jennifer found the young artist who created the scarf and took a picture of us with her. Jennifer made this a memorable tour.

Fireflies and Blue Tears tour, Kuala Selangor
We really loved this trip! Our tour guide. Darwin, was very friendly and knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make this a great experience. The monkeys were a real highlight, it’s was great fun to interact with them, we got some awesome photos! We ate at a riverside restaurant, rustic atmosphere and the food was lovely with lots of it. The boat trip to end the day was magical, with the fireflies and blue tears showing up for us, so we felt lucky to see it. The coach is roomy and comfortable with aircon, and the journey felt quite short. Highly recommend!

MC did a great job...
MC did a great job setting expectations for the guided tour and explaining each stop. The day was at a good pace and the timing of each spot felt adequate. Coordination leading up to the experience was well-communicated. Chandran and Robert were our drivers taking us safely from one location to the next. The option for a pick-up in the morning and drop-off in the evening was especially convenient.

Outstanding Tour and Hafiz an Exceptional Guide
Hafiz made this Kuala Lumpur Instagram Tour unforgettable. He is friendly, professional, and incredibly skilled with a camera. He knows the best angles, the best lighting, and the best timing to capture amazing photos at every stop. Thanks to him, we now have some of our favourite travel pictures.
He shared interesting stories about the city, helped us avoid crowds, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. His patience and warm personality made the day even better.
We highly recommend this tour and especially recommend choosing Hafiz as your guide. He turns a great itinerary into an exceptional experience.

So much fun
Ahmed was such a good guide full of knowledge and direction and humour but don’t believe him if he says to try durian!! It’s up to you. We found Malacca a historical lovely place to visit and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Definately worth a day of your trip to visit. Thank you Ahmed 😊

Great overview of Kuala Lumpur.
First time in Kuala Lumpur. We booked tix for the PETRONAS tower tour so we had to schedule around that. It is almost 2 hrs drive from cruise terminal in Port Klang to the city center so keep that in mind. No way you can get to all the sites noted in the itinerary if you do the towers tour and have to commute to and from a cruise ship. Nonetheless we got a nice overview of the city center and had some time at the Batu Caves as well. Do not miss the caves so long as you are comfortable walking up and down lots of steps. Really different place. Note that the operator adds on $75 for roundtriip transfers to and from the cruise port. Seemed fair to us but fyi.

It was a very good...
It was a very good experience. Our tour guide, Mr Arul, picked us up on time at our hotel. He was explaining very well many details about the attractions we visited. He had very good knowledge about it and gave us the information we needed when we were asking about more details. We visited the Batu Caves, they’re really beautiful and we had the privilege to see and take pictures of the big statue restored. We were able to climb the stairs and visit the great caves. Our visit to East Coast Batik was amazing. We could see how the artists make the beautiful arts in silky fabric and the wonderful final results. We went to visit the National Mosque (Masjid Negara), but we weren’t able to enter because was the prayer hour, we just took pictures from outside. Mr Arul gave us good details about this important attraction. We also went to visit the beautiful Chinese Thean Hou Temple and could even see a bride and a groom! Mr Arul explained that the couples like to go there to celebrate their weddings, that was really nice! We went to visit Little India and other important historical buildings from the time of the British colonization. The last point we visited was The River of Life, where the Kuala Lumpur city received its name. Mr Arul explained more details about this attraction and recommended that we should visit this place at night. It was a beautiful view. Our tour included Chinatown, but we didn’t need to go there, because we already visited this place. We recommend this tour and the tour guide, Mr Arul. He is very friendly and respectful and gives great information about other tours and visits that you can do in this beautiful city and country. We really enjoyed our time in KL and would love to come back to visit it again.

Kuala Lumpar Fun
Steven was a great tour guide and driver, arriving early, patiently waiting til we got off Ship. He was very knowledgeable, fun, quick to laugh with us. He let us know the days plans, and each step along the way. We appreciated him preparing us to be successful at each step (robe at National Mosque, etc.). He made adjustments as we picked up our pace and was patient in traffic to get us to each spot. Great day, thanks Steven!

Excellent Tour from KL to Malacca
I enjoyed my day in Malacca very much. Participants had to be efficient and punctual at photo spots before lunchtime, but there was plenty of free time given in the afternoon to explore Jonker Street.
This tour included a lunch at a Chinese restaurant with very authentic cuisine.
My tour guide Charlene was very patient in handling all my questions and inquires.

Then onto the food choices, which were fabulous with a wide range of food tasted and all totally delicious. Fully recommend Joel and the food too, great tour.

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.
