Wonderful Private Half-Day Tour-Cultural Sites - My husband and I had a wonderful time with our guide Sathesh today. He was very informative about the places we visited and things that we got to experience. We especially liked being able to ask questions as they would arise. Lunch was delicious at a local Indian restaurant. I would highly recommend this tour!

Great Private Tour Batu Caves and Temples - We still booked the tour relatively spontaneously as a couple. Our guide Harin was very attentive and took the time to tell us interesting facts about the area during the trip. We had actually booked a tour at 9 o'clock Harin contacted us and offered to start at 8 because there will be a lot going on at Batu Caves that day because of the Thaipusam Festival and if we get there earlier we can get around the traffic jam a bit. We were very grateful in hindsight that he knew so well, because already when we were there so many people were there and you noticed how it was getting more and more every minute. Harin also responded to my wish to visit the Thean Hou Temple during the trip, even if it was a bit tight in time because there was a lot going on and traffic on the way there due to the Chinese New Year. But we could still accommodate it by waiting in the car and we could have a quick look at the temple - which was great!
All in all, we had these stops during our tour: Batu Caves, Batik Factory, National Mosque, Thean Hou Temple, passage through Little India, Central Market, Petaling Street, Chinatown (and then passed by Guan Yu Temple and Sri Maha Mariamman Temple)
We thought all the stops were great, only the batik factory was meant more as a sales stop, but otherwise everything was great! In the end we had lunch in an Indian restaurant opposite our hotel, which was included in the price. Our guide Harin also put a lot of effort into taking pictures of us - which have also become really beautiful.

Good but too expensive - We liked the trip. Our guide Sathia told us much about the history and she is a very good and safety driver. We visited the mosque the day before, so we skip that and spent more time at the Batu Caves. Sathia was very flexible. The food at Little India was great. All in all in our opinion 50 $ each is too expensive for this excursion.
