Firstly the driver didn't turn up and when l phoned him to ask where he was, he said that he had quit the company. THEY then dispatched ANOTHER DRIVER who broke down. After some to and froing another driver was despatched and he turned up in an old small taxi that smelt unpleasant and was like a shoe box to get in and out of. It would have been cheaper and more pleasurable if we just hired a limo as we dismissed the driver after 2.5hrs and told him to go home.

The tour is private (1 driver, Jay, only for us 🤩), so very flexible on schedules, we were able to adapt them to our program. Jay was really nice, he gave us explanations about his country, the mix of cultures, we learned a lot thanks to him. He also introduced us to the art of batic 😊. We recommend it.

Central Market the old market hall i a modern look. Market Hall formerly for vegetable fruit and meat is now a true shopping center. Many exclusive souvenirs and handicraft products. Central market is located in one of the oldest parts of Kuala Lumpur, near Chinatown. This area with restored houses is well worth it.
Nice place to visit!

If you manage to visit go at night time much better the atmosphere. You might find something very good at good price, always ask a discount! Enjoy
