We had such a great day! It was a big day, but so worth it! We got to see and do so much! Rajan was also a fantastic guide! If you only have a small amount of time in KL, this tour gives you a lot of coverage over some of the must see places!

We had a great but long day. Our guide Lawrence was very friendly, provided us with lots of history and information. We ate very local food, which was delicious. Our highlight was the Batu caves. Lawrence took our pictures all day and whatsapp'd them to me afterwards, which was very kind of him. I'm not sure I would recommend the fireflies part. It was a very long way to go and not that interesting.
Nice one day full of activities

It was a day full of various nice things to do. My driver Aris was great. It is well worth the money but the coffe seller was a bit passive agressive.
Great one day KL tour

I had this tour unplanned but really liked it. If you have a few days only in KL, this is a great starter tour. My driver Aris was wonderful. He went above and beyond.
Comprehensive tour. Mile wide and an inch deep

There are a lot of sights jammed into this tour. We started out with a tour of a pewter factory and a batik workshop. These were okay and we were told they were required by the Malaysia tourism agency. We then drove around looking for a pharmacy to buy bug repellent for seeing a rubber tree and the fireflies. We went to the Batu Caves which was really interesting. Beautiful sight. We could not climb up but time was provided if we had wanted to do that. We drive by many sights and the guide took pictures for us which he later shared. We did not go up in the towers nor tour any other sights than the Batu caves. Lunch was a traditional banana leaf lunch in an Indian restaurant. Food was good and it was an authentic experience. We headed out for more sights but had to stop as the day got very long. Did not see the fireflies nor seafood dinner. This is a good comprehensive tour. Lawrence was a knowledgeable guide. Recommend if you want to see it all in one day.

If you have a short period of time in Kuala Lumpur this is the trip to see the highlights, but be warned it is a long day. Our driver Aris was very informative and pleasant allowing us plenty of time at each location. The Batu Caves with the monkeys was great even if you do have to climb some steep steps. And to see fire flies in their natural habitat was amazing. The tour was very well organised and the communication was great
Fun, fun, fun

We had a great day out with our driver Laurence, he knew loads about KL and Malaysia and we covered so much in the day. Definitely recommended if you have limited time in KL as it fits so much in.

This tour is definitely worth doing if you only have a few days in Kuala Lumpur as it crams in so much into one (very long) day. Our driver, Laurence, was very helpful and knowledgeable and told us all about the area, the food, and lots about each place we visited. We definitely recommend this tour if you have limited time in the city.
