What To Expect
Batu Caves
Batu Caves is a striking limestone hill located in Gombak, Selangor, Malaysia, featuring a series of caves and cave temples. It is a major Hindu shrine dedicated to Lord Murugan and attracts thousands of visitors, particularly during the Thaipusam festival. The site is famous for its towering golden statue of Lord Murugan, which stands at 42.7 meters (140 feet) tall and serves as a stunning focal point. To reach the main cave temple, visitors must ascend 272 colorful steps, which can be a challenging but rewarding hike. Once at the top, the panoramic views of Kuala Lumpur and the surrounding area are breathtaking.
National Mosque (Masjid Negara)
The National Mosque of Malaysia, or Masjid Negara, is a stunning architectural landmark located in Kuala Lumpur. Completed in 1965, the mosque is a symbol of Malaysia's Islamic heritage and serves as a focal point for the country's Muslim community. The mosque features a distinctive modernist design, characterized by its large, umbrella-like roof that can be opened to allow natural light and ventilation. The roof is complemented by a series of minarets, the tallest of which rises to 73 meters (240 feet). The mosque's interior is equally impressive, adorned with intricate Islamic motifs, colorful stained glass, and spacious prayer halls that can accommodate thousands of worshippers.

5.00We had a fantastic culture tour of Kuala Lumpur with Sathesh. From the National Mosque of Malaysia to the Batu Caves, Thean Hou Temple, and a vibrant local market, each stop was explained with clear, engaging insights that really brought the city’s history, culture, and religions to life. Our guide was extremely friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable. We especially appreciated how attentive they were to our safety and comfort throughout the day, offering helpful advice making sure we were looked after at busy or crowded spots. An informative and enjoyable tour that gave us a deeper understanding of Kuala Lumpur. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an authentic and safe cultural experience with a great local guide.
Wonderful temple tour!

5.00The cultural tour was wonderful. We visited the Batu caves, Chinese Buddhist temple, the National mosque and Hindu temples as well as Little India and a batik studio. Our guide Mr Sathesh, was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly and his car was comfortable and modern. Please note, most of the temples have many steps but Mr Sathesh was very patient and helpful to my disabled wife so that she was able to see everything.
Outstanding cultural tour of Kuala Lumpar with an excellent guide.

5.00Sathesh was an outstanding guide and excellent driver. He was so welcoming and really made us feel comfortable and relaxed, he was there to meet us as we exited the cruise terminal. He offered biscuits to our son and engaged us all in conversation, telling us about his culture and Kuala Lumpar, pointing out all the interesting sights and genuinely sharing stories and educating us Long the way. We achieved so much in such a short space of time including the Batu Caves (incredible!), batik Factory, The market, the Twin Towers, The Chinese Temple, Little India, Chinatown. We stopped for Indian snacks and sweets. We had a fabulous day and felt safe and well looked after throughout, working to our timelines as guided by him to ensure we achieved everything we wanted to see. Sathesh is also an excellent photographer and helped us get the best spots for some photos. Would highly recommend this cultural tour and specifically Sathesh as a guide.

5.00Excellent morning of cultural discoveries with our guide KUMAR. kumar was extremely kind, considerate and attentive and provided us with a lot of explanations about the different places visited without being too present and preventing us from enjoying between us. The tour was very well organized and allowed us to discover effectively different emblematic places of Kuala Lumpur, with a check-out from the hotel right on time. Finally, Kumar was very flexible (we could spend more or less time compared to what was stated in the program in each place). We highly recommend this experience!
Kumar our tour guide was brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he was super friendly.
