Amazing tour, highly recommend - I'm very happy with this tour our driver yuvanesh was great! He took us through the history and even though we didn't go to the batu caves due to the thaipudsam festival he was good enough to substitute and plan ahead for us. He contacted us the day before to confirm pick up and that he would be our driver. Was patient with us and even took amazing photos for us. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great morning tour - Excellent communication prior to excursion through WhatsApp, confirming driver details and pick up.
Our guide Kumaran was on time and the vehicle was clean, tidy and nicely cool.
Kumaran decided to take us to Thean Hou temple first which was a very wise decision as it was very busy as we left. We were given information on the temple and then left to wander around in our own time.
We then headed to Batu Caves, with a drive through Little India en route. We knew the caves were going to be busy due to the Hindu festival Thaipusam being celebrated. A number of roads were closed but we managed to park only a 5 minute walk away.
Kumaran gave us lots of information on the festival and rituals performed and we saw them first hand at the temple. It was buzzing with life, with many fantastic sights and smells and we got caught up in the whole environment.
We were very hot and sweaty after the walk up and down the steps so asked Kumaran just to take us back to our hotel which he kindly did.
Great tour and guide. Thank you

Incredible cultural tour of Kuala Lumpur - Sathesh was a fantastic guide! It was the perfect halfway tour to visit the cultural sites in Kuala Lumpur.
Sathesh was very knowledgeable and shared country, culture and religious history with me. He was a fantastic photographer and got many wonderful photos of me (which was amazing since I am traveling solo). He also recommended authentic food and shopping.
He was friendly and made my first afternoon in Kuala Lumpur a once in a lifetime experience!
I would highly recommend Sathesh! I hope to come back to go on another tour!

Best of Malaysia in a Few Hours - I was picked up promptly from the airport and then dropped off afterwards. This tour is the best of Malaysia in a few hours. Perfect for those on transit or those who only have a few hours. Jay was awesome. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend this tour.

Relaxing tour - Our guide was knowledgeable on the different cultures of Malaysia. He took us to the best spots for taking photos and shopping. We had a wonderful time, the car was comfortable and the best part is the car was with us the whole time and we just sat back and enjoyed.
