Unforgettable Informative Tour - Book it! - If you're looking for a better understanding of KK, book this trip. I loved that there were two people: a dedicated driver and also a tour guide who spoke excellent English and answered any questions we had. The car was air conditioned (very important for someone jet lagged from Canada), the driver was polite and a safe driver. Walter was flexible and allowed us to stay as little or as long at the museum, Buddhist temple and market. I highly recommend this tour - it’s exactly what you’re looking for to get a better understanding of KK (Malaysian) culture and history.

Great tour around the city - Visiting the famous landmarks of KK City made us more appreciative and knowledgeable about their culture and tradition. Overall we enjoyed the tour and hopefully will come back soon.

Very good - We had a six hour layover at KK so arranged the tour privately (5 friends travelling together) and was not disappointed - was met at airport by guide who helped us store our luggage, he provided us with bottled water during the tour and also arranged for a pit stop at a coffee shop for coffee and snacks. The city of KK has lots to see and the views from the hills are spectacular. We were dropped back at airport and again our guide came with us to collect the luggage, he assisted with the checking in and took us to the baggage drop off, excellent service. We were glad we fitted this tour in and it was relatively cheap at £26 per person.

Overall it was what was... - Overall it was what was described. However the first stop, the signal tower was closed for maintenance, and the last stop, the market was to a large extent closed due to Hari Raya. But the tour took us to see the temple, mosque and some other noteworthy sightings in KK. All in all it was ok, but not overwhelming. The driver was punctual and showed flexibility to accommodate our wishes which was a big plus.
