Your friendly and professional driver will collect you from your Kuala Lumpur hotel and transport you on an hour-long journey through the scenic hillsides of Malaysia on your way to Genting Highlands, the nation’s largest casino resort.
Our first stop will be at the Batu Caves. These natural limestone masses are home to Hindu shrines that house various religious deities. Learn from your guide about the deep Hindu roots of this nation as you make your way up the 272 steps to the golden Lord Murugan.
Upon arrival, take a trip on the 2-mile (3 km) Genting Skyway. As you make your way to the resort you’ll bear witness to panoramic views of mountains and jungles.
This Genting Highlands Day Tour from Kuala Lumpur take you through the picturesque Titiwangsa Mountains, some 6,118 feet (1,835 meters) above sea level. Depart the Skyway and enjoy four hours of free time to explore the resort and casino at your leisure.
After a day of entertainment, head back to the Genting Skyway and hop aboard your air-conditioned car/van for the trip back to Kuala Lumpur and stop over at Royal Selangor Pewter. Royal Selangor Pewter will feature the largest and most modern pewter factory in the world, reputed internationally for its high quality and craftsmanship. You will be shown the different processes, such as casting, filing, polishing, soldering, hammering and engraving during this factory tour
Next we stop at Batik Factory – see how Batik is designed and printed before we drop you off at the hotel.

Very uncomfortable car for a long trip. He was a driver not a guide. Would tell us where to go at the stops but offered no real information. We cut the tour short by three hours. He did drive by sites that were not on the tour to point them out.
Dear Richard, Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that the car didn’t meet your comfort expectations for a long trip, and that the guiding aspect of the tour wasn’t what you had hoped for. While our drivers aim to ensure a smooth journey and provide basic information about stops, we understand that a more in-depth guide experience would have enhanced your tour. We’ll review this with our team to make improvements. I appreciate you mentioning the additional sites he pointed out, and we hope you’ll give us another chance to deliver a more fulfilling experience next time. Safe travels!
Nice Experience and our Guide Mr.Albinhar gave excellent service and his way of guide is good. We really enjoyed and we used whole day very worthy
My guide Rajan was very good. He gave a lot of history and knowledge about the area. We visited everything in my itinerary. He even checked on me to make sure I got to my next tour. He did a very good job
Great trip driver very informative and helpful would recommend this tour enjoyed our trip very helpful showed us some great places
I had a brilliant time with Aris. I loved his contextualizing of the cultural heritage and dynamics of KL, whilst giving me room to learn from experts about Batik and Pewter in KL. I highly recommend this trip as a KL 101 trip!
Three English people (>60) on our first day in Malaysia. Our driver and guide Albinhar bin Mohd fikal was extremely helpful and friendly. We didn’t go to Genting Highlands, but the Pewter works and Batik studio were great additions to our trip to the Batu Caves. The steps up to the caves aren’t as bad as they look in the photographs!
The tour was fantastic, and learnt so much in a short period of time. All the local tips and hints, pieces of local knowledge really helped. I couldn't think of a better way to start out on a stay in KL. Thank you - will definitely be booking again for further tours.
We enjoyed our Gondola Ride in Genting Highlands and the beautiful views. The mall shops, the restaurants, and the theme park on top all offer so much to see and do. Our guide, Aris, was knowledge, informative, and helpful. He provided a great deal of local knowledge.

It was a very well organised tour with proper communication between us and the organisers regarding pick up time itinerary etc. The tour guide Ms Kong and the Driver Ms Dino were excellent and very friendly and cooperative. The tour vehicle was very spacious and clean. Even though the traffic was very bad they ensured we managed to complete the tour

I had a great time and my guide, Faizel, was excellent in explaining the area. The ride was beautiful and the gondola to the top had amazing views. Also, the Chin Swee Temple was worth the stop with the spectacular views and history. Next time, I would definitely get a hotel to spend the weekend there.
