Very interesting in half a day

Gabriela_S, Apr 2026

Maran has been a competent and very friendly guide. I can only recommend this trip. I felt always safe in his car. Pickup and drop-off was in time.

Exceeded expectation. ...

anto_s, Feb 2026

Exceeded expectation. Flight was late but they honored the contract and went above and beyond. We had a great tour. Tour company ensured we were picked up by adding additional pager service to find us from the airport. Driver and guide Mr. Ayyanar has great knowledge of the city and took us to all places with amble time to explore. We had a great time.

City highlights tour.

Angela_S, Feb 2026

We changed our tour to a city highlights tour at the last minute due to it being a public holiday and batu caves would be too crowded. Kesh our guide was very knowledgeable and had a lovely sense of humour. Would highly recommend

Amazing tour, highly recommend

Krusha_P, Feb 2025

I'm very happy with this tour our driver yuvanesh was great! He took us through the history and even though we didn't go to the batu caves due to the thaipudsam festival he was good enough to substitute and plan ahead for us. He contacted us the day before to confirm pick up and that he would be our driver. Was patient with us and even took amazing photos for us. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great morning tour

Jackie_G, Feb 2025

Excellent communication prior to excursion through WhatsApp, confirming driver details and pick up. Our guide Kumaran was on time and the vehicle was clean, tidy and nicely cool. Kumaran decided to take us to Thean Hou temple first which was a very wise decision as it was very busy as we left. We were given information on the temple and then left to wander around in our own time. We then headed to Batu Caves, with a drive through Little India en route. We knew the caves were going to be busy due to the Hindu festival Thaipusam being celebrated. A number of roads were closed but we managed to park only a 5 minute walk away. Kumaran gave us lots of information on the festival and rituals performed and we saw them first hand at the temple. It was buzzing with life, with many fantastic sights and smells and we got caught up in the whole environment. We were very hot and sweaty after the walk up and down the steps so asked Kumaran just to take us back to our hotel which he kindly did. Great tour and guide. Thank you

Best of Malaysia in a Few Hours

Malanata_H, Jun 2024

I was picked up promptly from the airport and then dropped off afterwards. This tour is the best of Malaysia in a few hours. Perfect for those on transit or those who only have a few hours. Jay was awesome. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend this tour.

Relaxing tour

Wendy_G, May 2024

Our guide was knowledgeable on the different cultures of Malaysia. He took us to the best spots for taking photos and shopping. We had a wonderful time, the car was comfortable and the best part is the car was with us the whole time and we just sat back and enjoyed.

Kalai, out guide, did an excellent job showing us some of the highlights of KL. Recommended for those who don't have a lot of time.

親切な方が案内してくれたので安心でした

Hiroyuki_Y, Mar 2025

親切な方が案内してくれたので安心でした。ただ、申込時に表示されていた順番とは違う順番に案内されたので、少し戸惑いました。パトゥ洞窟の滞在時間は短かったので、どこか他のところを割愛してもらい洞窟での滞在時間を30分もしくは1時間延長してもらえるなら、そちらをお勧めします。
