Great private tour of Batu Caves and cultural sites in KL - My husband and I had the best time seeing some of Kuala Lumpur’s greatest sights. Harin was an amazing guide - so informative and friendly and we couldn’t have had such an enjoyable experience without him. Harin was a great driver and the car was clean, comfy and had great air conditioning. He ensured we got around comfortably and had a great day. Definitely recommend!
