Half Day Kuala Lumpur Cultural Tour - The tour was amazing! Nesh our guide was the best and extremely knowledgeable!
The Batu Caves have a slightly challenging hike but getting to the top and seeing the temples was rewarding.
The National Mosque was amazing and so was the Thean Hou Temple. Both have amazing architecture.
This tour is a must do, but start early morning as advised by Nesh.
