Fantastic Insight into KL

Fantastic insight to Kuala Lumpur, this tour takes you to all the major points of KL. The guide was amazing with his local knowledge as he has grown up in KL and had some interesting points to make. It was a relaxed tour and did not feel rushed as we were given enough time at each point.

This tour was a great way...

This tour was a great way to see the major sites of KL. Our guide had a roomy, comfort car and was very knowledgeable about the area and the sites we saw. We loved getting the lay of the land in a new city with lots of A/C in between!

A very good experience

It was a very good experience, the driver/guide was nice and knowledgeable about the city he lives in He took us through the city telling us interesting stories, the pick up and drop off was also a nice touch as we didn’t have to go to a meeting point of some sort I would definitely recommend this activity to other first time travellers

Very good experience

As first time travellers to Malaysia we really enjoyed the experience. It is always a good idea to get in a car with someone who knows the neighbourhood and can tell you about it and take you to places you probably wouldn’t find yourself. We would probably want the driver/guide was a bit more engaged however we would really recommend this tour

A great way to see the city with driver LJ

A great way to see the city with driver LJ who has excellent knowledge of the present and history of KL . LJ took photos for us at stops , gave us enough time to explore, we did not feel rushed. This half day tour was a great length for us not being used to the humidity , gave us the afternoon to cool down. Thanks for the water LJ , you were awesome.
