    A disappointing tour. 2...

    Julie_S, Jul 2024
    A disappointing tour. 2 hours not 3, poorly organised, guide's English was limited, overpriced. Would not recommend to others.

    Unforgettable Informative Tour - Book it!

    If you're looking for a better understanding of KK, book this trip. I loved that there were two people: a dedicated driver and also a tour guide who spoke excellent English and answered any questions we had. The car was air conditioned (very important for someone jet lagged from Canada), the driver was polite and a safe driver. Walter was flexible and allowed us to stay as little or as long at the museum, Buddhist temple and market. I highly recommend this tour - it’s exactly what you’re looking for to get a better understanding of KK (Malaysian) culture and history.

    Response from Host, Jun 2023

    Your review made our day, Debi. We’ve passed your comments on to our team so they can enjoy the good vibes too. Comments like yours make our work worthwhile.

    Overall it was what was...

    Overall it was what was described. However the first stop, the signal tower was closed for maintenance, and the last stop, the market was to a large extent closed due to Hari Raya. But the tour took us to see the temple, mosque and some other noteworthy sightings in KK. All in all it was ok, but not overwhelming. The driver was punctual and showed flexibility to accommodate our wishes which was a big plus.

    Guide was fantastic,...
