The fireflies are spectacular
The monkey part is totally skippable, besides being a bit dangerous. The dinner is decent, quite varied. The visit to the fireflies is spectacular, there are so many over a very long stretch and they take all the time in the world with it. The blue tears part has nothing to do with the photo, you can barely see anything and if it is a full moon, you cannot see it. In general, I liked it because the fireflies were worth it; just with that, it seemed like one of the best excursions to me.

A tour that is great value for money
The guide was Mr. Mcpall.
Even on Sunday morning, it was hard to catch a Grab in Kuala Lumpur, and since it was canceled twice, I was worried about making it to the meeting spot, but I was relieved when I got an immediate reply after sending a message on the WhatsApp app (I made it to the meeting time just in time in the end). Since it was very hot and sunny, I think it would have been impossible to do a day trip to Malacca by myself if I hadn't participated in the tour.
The guide was very kind, told interesting stories on the bus, and provided explanations at key points. It was a group tour with a large number of people, filling the sightseeing bus, but there were no particular problems. It was a plan without lunch, but it was nice and casual because I could go to my favorite restaurant to eat whatever I wanted. I'm very satisfied with how efficiently I could tour Malacca on a budget! Thank you very much.

We were picked up hassle free from our hotel . The driver kept us informed via what’s app of what time he would be arriving to pick us up . We were taken from place to place and given plenty of time to explore each landmark
Clean comfortable vehicle and lovely friendly guide who even kept us supplied with cold drinks along the way
Good value ? Well organised trip

Beautiful tour outside Kuala Lumpur
Whole day experience. About 2 hours from Kuala Lumpur. Picked up from the hotel about 7.40am, met up with a larger crowd and proceeded to Malacca in a big bus. Stops for the bathroom. Tour involves standing and walking for long periods. Lunch was excellent and we had free time for exploration and shopping. With the exception of traffic, journey back to Kuala Lumpur was uneventful.

Great taster of cultural sites
We had a great morning with our guide Vikram who was very friendly and knowledgeable. If you want to experience some major cultural sites without much difficulty, then this is a great option. We welcomed the air con in the car after each stop. Vikram was very flexible and communication before the pick up was great. Definitely recommend.

Great walking food tour -...
Great walking food tour - well spaced out with temple stops interspersed that gives time for food to settle as well as being interesting! Food was plentiful & yummy. Our guide Siddoz was very knowledgeable & set a slow pace for us which we appreciated. Well worth doing!

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

Great feel for the city.
Our driver was extremely knowledgeable. He was able to answer all of questions and gave comprehensive descriptions of all of our stops.
He also gave some great advice to help us enjoy our remaining days in KL.
He had great energy.
The route really suited us and we were able to maximise our time and enjoyment.

Perfect way to visit Malacca.
A great way to visit Malacca from KL. Good comms, timely pick-up, modern, comfortable minibus. Our guide Yoga was a great ambassador for Malacca and indeed Malaysia. Very knowledgeable, welcoming and considerate, he made the trip great fun. Cruise (apparently weather permitting) was a highlight and the lunch was very convivial.

The tour is worth...
The tour is absolutely worth it, it is certainly "heavy" because depending on traffic it can even last more than 12 hours. The trip to the Cameron Highlands is long but the view is wonderful. Some of the things you visit are a bit of a tourist trap but still very nice to visit. The guide Melvin explained everything carefully and was well prepared. I definitely recommend it 😊

Great cultural tour...
A great half day tour of some of the key hustoric sites and areas of KL.
Siva was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable about all facets of this great city. We would certainly book other tours in the area if we get a chance to return. Everything ran like clockwork and it was great to be picked up and dropped off at our hotel.

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.
