Great half day tour in Luana Lumpur

Robert_F, Mar 2026
Took a half day tour with Ayyanar, he is wonderful. Told me about the history of Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia. He is funny, a great driver and gave me plenty of time to explore, he guided me to the right place to try some local food.

Not everything is as stated!!!

Firstly the driver didn't turn up and when l phoned him to ask where he was, he said that he had quit the company. THEY then dispatched ANOTHER DRIVER who broke down. After some to and froing another driver was despatched and he turned up in an old small taxi that smelt unpleasant and was like a shoe box to get in and out of. It would have been cheaper and more pleasurable if we just hired a limo as we dismissed the driver after 2.5hrs and told him to go home.

Convenience of private driver
