We had a very nice driver who explained the tour to us and had our tickets. The kids loved feeding the silver monkeys and we enjoyed the firefly tour.
Terrible! Mis sold as private tour. Ruined a day of our honeymoon.

The tour states the following in the title: "Private Tour: Kuala Selangor Firefly Blinkings including Seafood Dinner" It's not a private tour as they state. It's a group tour. This was planned in the evening as a romantic event for both of us as we had always wanted to see fireflies. It was absolutely terrible. It wasn't private and even the pictures are completely fabricated. They have painted yellow dots onto the photos but that is completely mis selling how it actually is. The fire flies are not flying around you or above you. They are in a bushy area and you can see some of them in the bushes. You can't really see much and you have other people squashed up next to you in the dark. It wasn't great. We are both really disappointed with our experience and its spoilt a long time ambition of ours and wasted a whole day of our honeymoon 4pm till very late evening. I would like to say that the driver was very pleasant. Other than that everything else was abysmal and was mis sold as a private tour.
