Must-do KL experience - Our guide Mohd was excellent. He had so much information to share about KL and the different places we were visiting. Seeing the Batu caves was certainly a highlight. Absolutely breathtaking. Having all of the elements of this tour was great—a wonderful, well-rounded experience.

Wonderful experience - The caves were awesome. Such a buzz with the Chinese new year but I get the impression it’s pretty busy anyway. Great atmosphere. And the caves themselves are stunning. The long-tailed macaques are great entertainment. And the other stops on the tour were so interesting. Was on my own on the trip because others cancelled and it was brilliant. Guide was simply the best.

Rajan is a legend - This was a very fun few hours. My driver, Rajan, was very knowledgeable about Kuala Lumpur and all the places we were going to visit. I learned so much about the history of Kuala Lumpur and the batu caves. He was very flexible and helpful with suggestions on where else I should go in Kuala Lumpur. The pewter museum was fun and he gave plenty of time to explore batu caves.

Excellent tour - Went with tour 51. Great time. Guide was soo funny and entertaining.comfortable bus with aircon. Very colorful Interior. The walk up to the caves was tiring as it was very hot. Great view from the top and inside the cave. Drips alot of water. Alot of monkeys. Don't carry plastic bags or any kind of carry bag they will take them from you thinking it's food. The usual rules apply when visiting temples. Cover up. A few food and market stalls. Have to pay a fee to use the toilets. Only a couple of normal toilets that don't flush. You use the hose to flush it down with running water. Mostly squat toilets.

Disappointed - We didn't really get out to the countryside. Our tour operator was half an hour late and dropped us off early. So we effectively paid for an extra hour that we didn't get. They could have included the Blue Mosque or a couple of other sites to the tour. We asked to see Merdeka Square, this was met with an emphatic no.
