Firefly tour - thumbs up - Money well spent on this fab tour to see fire flies. Picked up from our hotel right on time. We had a whole car to ourselves. Kind guide who stopped at money change late at night on the way back to hotel. Good dinner included and firefly tour was memorable

A fun evening - We had a great evening with LG. Hotel pick up was smooth. My son especially enjoyed the stop to feed the monkeys. It was the highlight of his entire trip to KL.

Excellent trip at a great price - I had booked the Kuala Selnangor fireflies, batu cave temple and Melawati hill tour. It included pick up and drop from hotel, dinner and entry tickets. It is quite reasonably priced. Our guide Mr Muraly was a knowledgeable guide, he gave us a background of the various places we visited. As I'm vegetarian, he helped arrange a veg dinner for me at a sea food restaurant :). The car arranged was clean and comfortable, the drive was great. Overall, i really enjoyed the trip and would definitely recommend the services provided by Asni tours & travel & Mr Muraly.

Kuala Selangor Glittering Fireflies Tour - Definitely recommend if you’re staying in Kuala Lumpur and want to go around! My husband and I just got back to the hotel after a 7-hour tour with Haleem. He was nothing less than amazing, accommodating, and of course an expert of Malaysian history and culture. We learned a lot from him and he was overall very nice, approachable, and friendly. He’s a safe driver and is very timely (huge bonus when you have only a few days in the city and want to do a lot). We are very pleased with this experience and will definitely be booking again with Asni Tours (requesting Haleem, if feasible) when we’re back in Kuala Lumpur ☺️ Thank you very much for a great day afternoon and evening!!!

Memorable experience - I enjoyed watching the fireflies flash their lights.
I would have liked to spend longer watching this and perhaps had the opportunity for a private tour.

Rainy day firefly experience - We did the fireflies with dinner only.....the weather had us worried because we got caught in full on torrential downpour on the roads.....but cleared up by the time we got to the boats. Still got to see decent amount of fireflies...started off pretty low count, but then as we floated along got to see more concentrated groups in the trees that made look like understated, elegant xmas lights.....;-)
Our driver, Lawrence was very friendly and loved sharing his knowledge around the history of KL and Malaysia.
Only suggestion would be to ensure that the complimentary water is kept cool.

Few fireflies - The seafood dinner was mediocre and we only saw a few fireflies. The monkeys were by the side of the road at a park.

Overall poor - Overall an average experience. Picked up by tour guide Rajen and was briefed that we had only one attraction stop at a temple before the fireflies. When asked about visiting the Batu caves/ fort altingsburg as listed in the tour, Rajen just stated that there was not enough time. ( so why list it on the itinerary?) we were brought 2.5 hours early to the fireflies port before sunset. Rajen had absolutely no clue what we could do to kill the time in between. I asked him again regarding a visit to the fort, he tells me that it’s busy and not worth my time. I eventually tell him that I would rather spend time at the fort than wait around, he reluctantly agrees and sends us there- turns out the fort is lovely and there was plenty of time to have visited. The only saving grace of the tour was the fireflies as we were blessed with good weather that day. Wouldn’t suggest this tour for its price

Disappointing - Driver spoke very little English and was not a guide at all, gave minimal information. Car was pretty dirty, ants inside. At the firefly boat I had to pay the ticket to include a blue tears sighting (luminescent organisms). No River of a Life Tour was included. The most disappointing tour I ever booked through Viator
