Malaysian Countryside and Batu Caves - Al picked us up from our hotel right on time and he was a joy from start to finish. The communication from Ansi Global and Al couldn't have been better. We were given the vehicle registration number of the vehicle as well as the drivers name and contact number. Very impressed with the organisation. Al our driver was so helpful explaining how the tour would work but he was also great company and we learnt so much about Malaysia along the way. The pewter factory was amazing with lots of demonstrations as to how the various processes were achieved. Highly recommended. The Batik stop was ok but it wouldn't be a miss for me if we hadn't gone. The Batu Caves - wouldn't have missed the experience, you have to make up your own mind about it.

Learn about Kuala Lumpur and visit the cave - The guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and friendly. The small group size was also nice. Really gave me an insight into Kuala Lumpur that I wasn't expecting.

Thumbs up!! - Our private tour of Batu Cave and the Batik Factory in Malaysia was an incredible experience. Rajan’s kindness, expertise, and passion for his work made the journey all the more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Malaysian culture and an opportunity to explore two of the country's most captivating attractions.

Fun and fantastic! - I loved this tour! The monkeys were so cute (though, as a former zoo tour guide, I did not go near them or try to touch them - a wild animal is still a wild animal). The place was beautiful, and my guide Rayhan Raj Naidu, was the best! I really enjoyed Royal Selangor, which I put to my guide as he made everything about this company sound so fantastic!

It's all about the caves! - Batu Caves was amazing. The climb is not difficult and well worth it. I don't know why they have "countryside" in the name of the tour. All three stops are in the city. Pewter and Batik are interesting, but really just filler. The caves are the star of this tour. Our guide, Alvin, was excellent.

Labour Day Touring - We really enjoyed our time on this tour with Aris as our guide during a Malaysian public holiday. He was very personable and keen to ensure we had a good time. His knowledge was great and driving was impeccable as the tour made its way around the different sites. A nice afternoon tour in a wonderful part of the world. Thanks.

Best - Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and took us to many places, which was a very meaningful and priceless experience! At the end of the tour, we were also taken to a chocolate shop. (I don't think you can find a tour in Japan for this price.) Thank you!
