3.00We had another private tour the day before which was called Butta cove tour in Kuala Lampur . We purchased that through Viator also that tour costs one third of the price of this one . This tour is over priced .
Disappointing

2.00We took the tour so that we could visit a Malaysian mosque in KL. The driver drove past the main mosque without stopping and then took us to another mosque and said we couldn’t go because it was prayer time, which was rubbish!. It was a hot day and he sat in the car whilst we looked at two Chinese temples and a Hindu temple. It wasn’t worth the $100 aud we paid. Do yourself a favour and book a Grab driver instead.
Highly recommend this tour

5.00This was my last day in KL and I wanted to see an overview of historic landmarks. I booked last minute and thankfully, there was a guide available . It was hot and humid so taking a private car was helpful. The guide was extremely knowledgeable about all of the locations we visited and kept my attention with colorful stories. I would recommend this tour.

4.00Great to have a one on one tour with my guide. He was very knowledgeable and happy to be flexible when I wanted to stop for some shopping! I only had one free day in KL due to travelling on business so the half day tour was perfect for me. The stops gave me a good overview. Would recommend
Perfect!

5.00We stayed in Kuala Lumpur for just a couple of days and booked this tour last minute via Tripadvisor. My 13 years old son is a history buff. I was right, he learned a lot and enjoyed this tour. Aris was our guide and he was perfect. He was friendly, informative and patient with us. I am also into taking site pictures for my FB, lol. Aris accommodated and met all our tourists needs. We visited all the sights mentioned in the tour package and more. Sooo glad we booked this. Very worth it! Highly recommended! Thank you again, Aris!
Great tour!
