Best City Tour! - We had a fantastic private tour with tour guide Chen, who was recommended to us by a friend. We felt like we saw all the top KL sights and more! He was also fantastic at taking lots of photos of us at the famous sights, which is something we don't normally get together. Chen was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, we felt like we had made a good friend by the end of the tour! We would highly recommend this tour, Chen is a top bloke and you really won't be disappointed. He also gave us tips for the places we were going to next in Malaysia. We will definitely recommend this tour to all our friends and family visiting KL. Thanks so much again, Chen and hope to see you again in the future!
