Ticks the boxes! - Great tour, fantastic value for time and money. Yuvanesh was a fantastic tour guide for us, giving us great background on the history and cultural impact of each site. Nesh's knowledge is also fantastic for the rise between each stop as he covers the history and cultural impact of each site and places of interest along the way. Bring a fan! The stairs to enter Batu Caves is tough work, but the humidity is tougher. The National Mosque is gorgeous and serene, and the tiles and the breeze cools you from the earlier work. Visiting the temple and markets gives you the best experience of the cultural mix unique to Malaysia, and Yuvanesh's knowledge for each location is top tier!

A well-spent time around KL - The tour allows you to visit some of the most important sites in KL, and it’s really worth doing it. Our guide Aru talked us through the monuments we were visiting but also gave us a lot of information around Malaysia’s history, politics, economics and traditions. Very well-organized!

Perfect for a short trip to Kuala Lumpur - We had a limited amount of time in Kuala Lumpur, and hadn’t considered how we were going to fit everything we wanted to do in until the night before this tour. We made a last minute booking and we were extremely glad we did! Our guide Siva was courteous and polite. He took us around the main sights, and even added a bonus trip to the palace whilst we waited for the rain to die off so we could go to the mosque. We felt like we had enough time at all of the stops we visited. Our tour was 9am - 1pm, and because we’d essentially ticked off everything we wanted to see before having our lunch, it allowed us time to relax and enjoy KL at a slower pace in the afternoon and evening. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Great Tour! - We did this tour today, just my brother and I, it was absolutely fantastic. Special thanks to Aru, our Tour Guide - he went above and beyond. Batu Caves was our favourite, apart from hearing all of Aru’s knowledge of Malaysia.

Perfect morning tour (Batu Caves/KL) - We had an amazing morning visiting the Batu Caves. The place itself is amazing and somewhere we have wanted to visit for many years. Our guide, Sathesh, took some great photos and did not rush us on our visit.
We then were taken to the Chinese temple which we thoroughly enjoyed. We learnt a lot and were allowed to take more lovely photos. We then visited the market streets at our own leisure.
We have been on many trips before and have learnt that the tour guides really do make the trips. Sathesh was the perfect host. He was super friendly and so knowledgable (not to mention a great photographer!).
We loved enjoying the tour at our own pace and would highly recommend Sathesh as a tour guide. Thank you!
