Beware of lack of communication
nonnab2017,Mar 5, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
2.00Due to poor communication between TripAdvisor and local company, nobody was at the meeting place at 9 pm. I sent WhatsApp message, called via WhatsApp, and eventually got through. They were apologetic, and immediately offered afternoon tour. I accepted the offer, my guide was knowledgeable, intelligent and funny. However, this communication failure screwed up my day. It is very hot in KL around Chinese New Year, especially in the afternoon. I've selected 9 am tour to escape heat. Instead of more or less comfortable walk, I got drenched and tired,

5.00We did a heritage walking tour with Ben. He was very knowledgable of the history and cultural importance of old town KL. Ben explained about Buddhist temples we visited, Chinese temples, and mosques. Walking through Chinatown was great, and Ben showed us various shops, talked about food we saw, and we even sampled some food! Ben comes very highly recommended.
Awesome tour with Chua!

5.00My mother and I had a great time with Chua! We had a 3 hour private tour. We went at a leisurely pace so we could ask plenty of questions. I really liked how he took pictures of us and sent them to me at the end of the tour. I particularly enjoyed the tour of the Chinese temple. Would definitely recommend!

5.00We recently joined a cultural tour in Kuala Lumpur , and it turned out to be both informative and engaging. The experience provided a thoughtful look at the various groups that make up Malaysia’s diverse population, including their traditions, daily life, and influences on local culture. One of the highlights was the visit to the Chinese temple. The guide explained its history, symbolism, and rituals in detail, offering a fascinating glimpse into how Chinese heritage has shaped the community’s spiritual life. The architecture and preserved artifacts made the visit truly memorable. Our guide was attentive throughout the tour and clearly knowledgeable about the subject matter. However, her English could have been a little stronger, as it sometimes limited the depth of explanation. That said, her warmth and enthusiasm more than made up for it, and the overall experience was worthwhile for anyone interested in understanding Malaysia’s cultural mosaic.
This is a must do tour, fantastic experience 👏

5.00This was definitely the highlight of my 3 days in KL. Ben was friendly, polite and very informative. I really enjoyed chatting with him as we walked around the city. I've been to KL several times before but Ben took me to places I'd never seen. He's a very experienced and knowledgeable guide. I highly recommend this tour.
