Action packed day to see everything in KL

Fully packed!! Liked starting at 11am to give time for breakfast, but maybe start a little earlier to allow for lunch. Would recommend to skip Royal Selgnor factory/museum tour—nice, but not on limited time. Driver explained everything well and took pictures for us.

Operator response

Thanks for your compliment . We will keep on doing our best.

Versatile day trip

My guide Sadiq was ready at 7am. This way we could get to the sights before the buses with other tourists arrived. Sadiq showed me many impressive places in the city. He knew a lot about his city and its history, in a clear and calm manner. Also from the Batu Caves. Excellent app contact when arranging pick-up times at the locations and willing to shift times and preferences. As an extra service, he took photos and sent them to me. Had a great day.

Did not live upto our expectations.

Driver did not speak good English. He kept playing with his phone while driving, almost hit a car twice. Did not really explain the tourist locations we visited. We did not enjoy the restaurant he took us to for lunch. We said to him many times that we needed to be back at the airport by 17.00, however due to traffic, we arrived back at 17.50. Being local he should have known what the traffic would be like and departed earlier. The driver was a very friendly person, but his guiding was not what we expected. We saw other guides giving full explanations to their clients.

Operator response

Hi Sir, thank you for your feedback. However your claim is not true. Driver was not playing with his phone. All our drivers are professional drivers. And also, you mentioned that the restaurant was a very good choice but this feedback is the other way round. And also on that particular day the traffic very massive. The reasons for this claims is purely you are not satisfied with the extra charges due to your pickup and dropoff location is from the airport. We have mentioned clearly in our product, the pickup and dropoff location is within 5KM in Kuala Lumpur City.
