Very interesting but you...
Michele B,May 4, 2026

4.00Very interesting but you must be prepared to climb to both the caves and the waterfalls. Our guide was friendly and informative. Waterfalls were pleasant but not spectacular - the monkeys were the stars of that part of the tour. I was worried that the factory visits would be awkward and hard sell but not at all. Both were informative - there were of course opportunities to buy but did not feel pressured. Everything was in and around the city so we didn’t have to drive too far. All in we were happy with our experience.
Waterfall hiking and Batu Caves are worth seeing

4.00Kumar our driver is a good guide as well as driving us around. Though he was humble by calling himself “I’m just a driver”. He has local knowledge about places where he took us.
Average tour, guide could have made it better.

3.00The waterfall is very beautiful and the hike is moderate.Batu caves are very beautiful but overly touristy and crowded. The hot springs were not great. Out of the 4 tours we had there our guide, Hai, was the worst, he didn’t share much knowledge, didn’t offer to get out of the car to take a picture, basically just drove us around. Every other guide we had in KL got out and walked and helped us take pictures.
A perfect day with Indran!

5.00Indran was a phenomenal guide, and we learned so much on this tour! The batik & pewter factories were so interesting. It is awesome to have locally made souvenirs & gifts. The waterfalls were beautiful and provided much needed cooling. Finished with a delicious lunch near by - a perfect day!

5.00Aslan was a very nice and attemptive young man. Also, the car was very nice and roomy. The metique and hot springs were closed due to national holiday.However, the caves and waterfalls were spectacular and worth the cost alone!
The Guide makes all the difference

5.00My wife and I have booked private shore excursions all over the world. Some are disappointing, some meet expectations and others shoot up to superior. Beyond the destinations, the guide as a teacher and connection to the culture enriches the experience with details about actually living in a country. This tour company advertised the excursion by explaining they supply "drivers" from place to place. Maybe that's generally true but our driver, Fauzi Bru, was actually a well informed guide and who answered every question we asked him on every topic and we learned so much! Beyond that, the destinations were interesting and we loved the local restaurant Fuazi brought us to. The tour turned out to be a total immersion into the Malaysia we will never forget.
Great and diverse highlights tour of KL

5.00Such a great tour, very interested and made so much easier by our guide Rayhan Raj Naidu! It was a great blend of both culture and nature, definitely a good highlights of KL activity. Rayhan was very helpful for dietary issues and we were able to find plenty of food!
A delightful mix of activities outside the city center

5.00My main interest was to see the Batu Caves and something more, and this tour delivered. Our guide/driver, Ruben Raj, was knowledgeable about the sights and about modem Malaysian culture Having just learned about the importance of tin mining the day before in the museum, I found the tour of the pewter factory fascinating. And it was great to meet some of the skilled artisans at the batik shop The scene at Batu Caves was fascinating (beware the monkeys; not a phrase one gets to write very often) and I enjoyed checking out the hot springs and waterfall along w two others on the tour w me.
Great Way to Get Out of the City!!
