Was picked up from the hotel, was notified by the driver that they were on their way. Stephen our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. We were dropped off at the caves for an hour; initially thought this was a short time, but it was enough for me. We then went to a batik shop, where they showed you how they paint the batik. There was then an opportunity to buy their products. Then it was off to the pewter museum and workshop; it was really interesting to hear about the history and see how they made their products. Then they either dropped you back at your hotel or in KLCC.

Mr Avalee was more than a tour guide! I would like to thank everything that he did. We get lost with an taxi to go to our meeting point, i couldn't get any connection and i asked to the taxi to call Mr Avalle which help us and waited more than 2 hours for us! He arrange us in another group of tour and drop us off in a place where we could get good wifi and get an taxi to the cruise ship terminal! The tour is really good and for this price it's unbelievable. Thank you so much!

I choose this tour since I didn’t wanna walk too much due to bloody blisters and I can say, it was really comfortable. They picked me at the hostel, the guide on the way to Batu Caves explained us a lot of useful info, we got a bottle of water and they left us in the KLCC area (or hotel or Chinatown). Tour includes two other stops, which is also nice to see something new. If you want, you can buy things - they are beautiful.

This was such a great experience- i had little time in town - having a dedicated driver/ tour guide was perfect. Very nice, assisted me in getting all my pictures. I would definitely try this again! Thanks to my drivers today Sanjev and Money

Ruvis was a friendly guide and told us a lot about the visited spots.
