Best times we had on the holiday - Here’s a review based on your excellent experience during the trip: "I had an absolutely wonderful time exploring Batu Caves, the National Mosque, the Chinese Temple, and China Town during my recent trip. The service provided by the tour organizers was nothing short of exceptional. Everything was well-organized, from timely pick-ups to knowledgeable guides who ensured we learned the rich history and cultural significance of each site. Batu Caves, with its magnificent temple and breathtaking views, was a spiritual highlight, and the peaceful atmosphere at the National Mosque was truly inspiring. The Chinese Temple was a beautiful blend of intricate architecture and serene surroundings, and China Town was vibrant with its bustling markets and delightful local treats. Special thanks to the team for ensuring a smooth, enjoyable, and unforgettable journey through these iconic landmarks. I highly recommend this service to anyone visiting Malaysia!" Feel free to personalize this further if needed!

Private cultural - An incredible private tour of the UNESCO Batu caves, batik printing, mosque, Buddhist temple, little India and central market. We were picked up promptly by our fabulous, patient tour guide Aru who gave us a whistle stop cultural tour. He gave us an insightful talk of the history of Malaysia. An absolutely fascinating overview to give us a better understanding of the country and its colourful background. The Batu caves is a UNESCO world heritage site and is riddled with pigeons and monkeys. Keep your bags close to you and don’t bring food because they will attempt to ravage any food they come upon. The caves are absolutely beautiful and the 272 steps to the caves is a great workout. It does get wet inside the caves so bring something waterproof but even without is okay. You won’t get too soaked. We didn’t bring anything waterproof. Dress appropriately for the mosque but clothing is also provided for free if you haven’t. Interesting experience for those who are not practicing Muslims. You can walk around and enjoy the surroundings. The Buddhist temple is less strict and you must try the wishing sticks inside the temple. You ask the gods a question and the stick that protrudes the most after you shake them, is the one that will tell you your fortune. The numbers correspond to a paper held in the drawers below. We stopped at a batik printing shop and we were shown how the artists design and print on silk. This cultural tour is a definite must. It’s fairly priced and our driver Aru was ten out of ten. Lovely, lovely chap!

A must do tour - We had just a few days in Kual Lumpur, and as we were travelling with young kids, we wanted a short but informative tour. 4 hourse were plenty of time to keep the kids calm and also engaged. Lingesh, our driver and guide was excellent, very knowledgeable but also were patient. We visited number of places and also had enough time for private sightseeing. I highly recommend this tour to anyone but especially people traveling with young kinds.
