Had a memorable visit
Our driver/guide, Fauzi, patiently waited for us to get off our ship and take a 30min Coach ride to the Cruise Terminal. The port is many
miles from KL. We visited the King’s Palace, Batu Caves and Batik workshop store before having lunch at a clean local restaurant. Then to some waterfalls and photos at the Twin Towers. Not rushed at any point we were back about 7 hours. We certainly felt we saw and learned a lot about KL.

Amazing tour and guide spending a wonderful day in Malaysia
We had a wonderful guide Rajan D. who was very knowledgeable in the historical and current Malaysia, We saw Batu caves, waterfalls and toured the tin factory - Royal Selangor and beautiful hand painted silk factory. We also had a great local lunch and stopped at the Twin Towers, a beautiful Chinese temple and the Kings mosque. We were lucky to have Rajan on this private tour and which we highly recommend.

4 hours in KL
What a great time with Sathesh. He was so kind and took so many pictures for me. He also helped me find the perfect gifts for people. Don't miss the Batu Caves either!!! They are wonderful and not very hard to climb. Bring a banana for the monkeys!

The best experience I had in KL
Never climbed outdoors before and decided to combine this experience with a visit to Batu Caves. Felt completely safe and welcomed. I was even given a lift to the Batu Caves. The last routes were physically demanding but really rewarding. Wholeheartedly recommended if you are in KL.

Half day tour
Excellent trip my guide for the afternoon was very helpful. As I had been to the Batu caves the day before I managed with his help to swap the trip around for the Genting Highlands., and went to the Chinese Temple.

An outstanding tour of Batu Caves & Blue Mosque with Faizu!
Our guide Faizu for our private tour of the Blue Mosque and the Batu Caves was excellent. He gave us plenty of great knowledge along the way and we toured the beautiful Blue Mosque in Selangor and then climbed up the 272 steps to the Batu Caves and back down again. It’s amazing to stand in the caves and think how old they are, with modern Kuala Lumpur spread out all around. The Hindu temples inside and out are beautiful and well worth a visit.

Fantastic tour!
The tour was fantastic, and so was our guide, Ayyanar. We visit the Batu Caves early which meant fewer crowds. It's a beautiful area, and the caves are very impressive. We then visited numerous other places of worship which were fascinating.
Ayyanar was extremely knowledgeable, welcoming, and friendly. His service was 10/10, and we'd highly recommend this tour!

Highlight of KL, amazing Outdoor Climbing
Such a cool experience climbing right next to the iconic Batu Caves. The limestone walls are beautiful and have plenty of grips for all levels. Eddie was incredibly friendly, professional, encouraging, and made sure we had a blast

Excellent your to Batu Cavrs
This was a lovely tour with Mohammed as my guide. I rode in a very comfortable car and had a bottle of water readily available. We visited a pewter company before going to the Batu Caves. I was given plenty of time to walk up the 272 stairs to the cave and temple. I’m pleased to rate this as a 5 star tour.

A good trip, but poor communication beforehand.
We were not told before the trip started that the statue at the front of the Batu Caves was covered in scaffolding.
Whilst we had already been informed that we were not able to go to the hot springs, it would have been helpful to also have received prior information about the statue.

Very friendly and helpful...
Very friendly and helpful driver. Gave us plenty of time to view the attractions at our own pace and kindly dropped us off a location of our choice after the tour.
Car was modern and clean and gave some insight to a few sites during the journey.
Recommended to visit the caves in the morning to avoid the sun. There are better cave temples in Malaysia but this is not the fault of the tour!

People Also Ask
Are Batu Caves worth visiting?
Yes, Batu Caves are worth visiting. As popular as they are photogenic, these Hindu cave temples, with a giant statue and colorful steps, are one of Kuala Lumpur’s top attractions and an important pilgrimage site. They’re also easy to reach from Kuala Lumpur—just 8 miles (13 kilometers) from the city center.
Is it free to visit Batu Caves?
Yes, it’s free to visit Batu Caves, but there are charges for some elements of the experience. The Temple Cave, filled with Hindu shrines and the temple, has free admission. Batu Caves tickets are required to experience the Dark Cave, home to stalactites, living organisms, and a network of tunnels.
How many steps are there at Batu Caves?
There are 272 steps at Batu Caves, painted in a spectacular rainbow of colors, making them a must for Instagrammers. It takes most travelers about 15–20 minutes to climb the steep steps, but it depends on your fitness levels and how many photo stops you make.
Is there a dress code for Batu Caves?
Batu Caves is a religious site, so respectful dress is essential. You should cover your legs to the knee, plus your upper arms and shoulders. Travelers who are not properly dressed can rent sarongs. If you plan on doing the Dark Cave tour, wearing shoes with a good grip is worth it.
What time is best to go to Batu Caves?
Batu Caves can get extremely crowded. If you’re not taking the Dark Cave tour, arrive as early as possible to beat the crowds—just after sunrise is ideal. If you are taking the Dark Cave tour, book the first or last tour of the day. This will also provide cooler temperatures for climbing up and down the 272 steps.
What should I bring to Batu Caves?
Batu Caves has shops, stalls, and eateries on site, but you should bring a water bottle and sunscreen to stay hydrated and protected. Don’t carry any food, as the temple monkeys can and will steal it. Similarly, you will want to keep your water bottle in a bag, away from the monkeys’ greedy hands.
