Amazing trip with superb guide VJ - This was without doubt the highlight of our trip to KL. We were very fortunate to have a fantastic guide called VJ who was kind, helpful and informative and really went out of his way to make this a special day. His English was also perfect and very clear. We saw the wonderful Batu Caves and temples, visited a pewter factory, Hot water springs, Monkeys and fireflies with a wonderful meal in a great local restaurant over looking the river. Highly recommended

A fun and unique experience! - My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our Batu Caves and firefly cruise experience with Shajasa Travel. Our guide VJ was friendly, polite and knowledgeable, and it was useful to receive correspondence about the tour on WhatsApp. I was keen to visit the Batu Caves on our trip to Malaysia, and this tour was great as it enabled us to enjoy several different sights and activities in just one afternoon. At the Batu Caves, the Murugan statue and rainbow staircase were particularly impressive. The stop-off at the Royal Selangor Pewter Factory was interesting and we were also given the opportunity to feed some wild silvered leaf monkeys, which we loved. The firefly cruise was the highlight of the tour for me, and the seafood dinner provided was plentiful and tasty.

Enjoyable tour - Loved it! - My husband and I took the tour this Sat. Ultimately it was just 2 of us in a quite large car, so we got a private tour! Our guide VJ was very good and fun to talk to. He told us a lot about Malaysian culture, sports and politics ! On the tour we visited Batu Caves, Pewter Factory (very large, you could buy some very cute things there made out of pewter, silver and even gold), and then we visited a small Hindu temple at Kuala Selangor, a hill with nice views and so many monkeys (I really enjoyed feeding them), and then of course the dinner and fireflies. The dinner was a seafood dinner and could have been better as they include cheaper items by default, or maybe we are just spoiled as here in Hong Kong we have so many superb seafood restaurants :-) Fireflies are very cute, but it is pitch black so no photos :-) You should just sit, listen and watch. Overall we really liked that VJ didn't press us on time at all so we were moving quite leisurely and made all the photos we wanted :-) Thanks again to VJ, highly recommended guide!

Enjoyable afternoon - This was one of those trips u have to do when visiting KL the steps are steep but you can go slowly and take a breather stop. The monkeys are very entertaining on the way , we had no problems with them, even though they warn you to be careful. The cave at the to are interesting and the views from there also worth seeing , enjoyable few hours.

Yes to all !! - Again we had a great guide who took us for a half day tour, first the caves which are really amazing and the steps to get there not as bad as everyone says, just watch out for the little monkeys who can be quite cheeky. Caves offer great views inside and out. We also had the opportunity to see how the local materials are made which was quite fascinating. The silver leave eating monkeys are very cool and amazingly tame around people. The trip out to the seafood restaurant along the river is very enjoyable and the seafood dinner even more so. Three different types of seafood and all very tasty!! The only let down was the fireflies, not seeing them of course thats always amazing, just the large groups of people on long outboard boats which wasn't what we had in mind.....

Fantastic experience - Went with our children (9 and 11rs) we all really enjoyed the tour. The monkeys and fireflies were the favourites. The guy driving the boat for the firefies was great as he got up really close to the trees and made it a very special experience. Points to note - the car journey was long, but worth it so be prepared with water. Also it would have been nice to have a bit more explanation/information at the caves as well as the other places we visited.

Disappointment - The content was a fulfilling tour. However, after a trouble on the way, I felt very sorry because there was no apology from the company. I think the driver did his best, but I think the safety check should be done sufficiently. Although it was participation with children, my kids were very shocked by the experience of the day.
