Great way to see the Batu caves and more.

Sanni_K, Feb 2025
When you come to KL don't miss out the Batu caves. It's truly mystical, interesting and a beautiful place. Absolutely loved the waterfalls. The nature is magical there. I wish i could have spend more time there. Actually to me perfect tour would have been just the two. But that just me and my thight schedule. You get to see a lot on this tour. Rajan our tour guide was great. He was friendly and polite too. He shared his knowledge about Malaysian culture and was happy to answer all the questions.

Batu Caves

Tour was awesome and our guide was very friendly and courteous. The caves were amazing and the factories were interesting as well.

Must-do KL experience

Emma_S, Jun 2024
Our guide Mohd was excellent. He had so much information to share about KL and the different places we were visiting. Seeing the Batu caves was certainly a highlight. Absolutely breathtaking. Having all of the elements of this tour was great—a wonderful, well-rounded experience.

Wonderful experience

Marcus_S, Mar 2024
The caves were awesome. Such a buzz with the Chinese new year but I get the impression it’s pretty busy anyway. Great atmosphere. And the caves themselves are stunning. The long-tailed macaques are great entertainment. And the other stops on the tour were so interesting. Was on my own on the trip because others cancelled and it was brilliant. Guide was simply the best.

Disappointed

Karrina_M, Aug 2023
We didn't really get out to the countryside. Our tour operator was half an hour late and dropped us off early. So we effectively paid for an extra hour that we didn't get. They could have included the Blue Mosque or a couple of other sites to the tour. We asked to see Merdeka Square, this was met with an emphatic no.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, and we apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your tour. We're sorry to hear that you didn't get to explore the countryside and that the tour operator was running late, which impacted your tour duration. Your suggestion to include additional sites, such as the Blue Mosque or other attractions, is valuable feedback, and we'll consider this to enhance our future tours. We're committed to improving our services and providing a more comprehensive and enjoyable experience for our guests. We appreciate your comments and hope to have the opportunity to offer you a more satisfying tour in the future. Thank you for your feedback.
