4.00Louis (our driver) met us promptly at our hotel. He explained the itinerary and the time frame to reach the Batu Caves, our first landmark. He was very knowledgeable about the KL landmarks, the historical focal points and the various different cultural aspects of KL including the places of worship. There was plenty of time allocated to each stop and Louis also asked if there were any specific areas we wished to visit and allotted some time for China town before completing the tour. Great overview tour if you have limited time in KL like us.

5.00Travelvago, Our guide’s name was Nathan. He was the best tour guide I have come across in years. Could not have asked for anyone better. He knows Kuala Lumpur. He shared many cultural things as his family has been in Malaysia for 7 generations. Anyone looking for a personalized half-day tour of Kuala Lumpur Travelvago is highly recommended.
