4.00Kelvin was a good tour guide! Learned alot on the way. Batu Caves were cool and liked the additional stop to the silk fabric factory. Two pieces of feedback would be don’t side next to the speakers on the bus as its so loud and try not to go to the bathroom if you can help it. Costs 0.50 RM but the bathrooms so gross.

4.00Very interesting trip with a lot of useful information! The guide (Mr Balan and Driver Mr Isaac) were very kind and welcoming. Our guide was also really funny and made a good atmosphere. The batik shop was beautiful and reasonable prized. The lady doing the introduction could have spoken a little bit louder. After that we went to the Batu Caves. Sadly we had a lot of constructions going on, but other than that it was interesting to see. Thank you for everything! Greetings from South Korea
Super !
