This was an excellent experience. We were met at our hotel by our guide, Mr. Kubayn. He was super patient whilst we sorted out some last minute issues with our hotel. This wasn’t our first time to Kuala Lumpur but we hadn’t visited any of these sites before. Mr. Kubayn took us to the Batu Caves, East Coast Batic design workshop, the National Mosque, and the Thean Hou Temple. Each time we were given a great run down on the historical and political importance, and then we’re able to wander around ourselves. I would definitely recommend this tour, especially if it’s your first time in Kuala Lumpur.
My wife and I had wanted to see Batu Caves on our trip to KL and thought that this tour looked especially promising since it added the National Mosque and Thean Hou Temple. This turned out to be a great bundle since visiting all three gave us a very rich experience of Malaysia’s multi religious society. But the best part of this trip was our tour guide, Jag. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. He added a lot of context that we may have missed and was just fun to be around. Tip: if you’re booking this tour but have already been to one of the monuments, let your guide know and he’ll find something else interesting for you to do.
Friendly guide, aircon car was a blessing, and some history of KL was great!
It's a very pleasant and comfort tour. We booked private tour and Mr Yuvanesh was a friendly tour guide with a plenty of knowledge about the culture and history of KL. Highly recommended and will be book again if we will visit to KL again. Thank you, Mr Yuvanesh.
Nish was not only informative but extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with on the trip . He also saved us a huge amount on taxi fees by telling us about grab , also when I left my glasses in the car he came and dropped them off the next day before we left for Borneo , he is an absolute star and a credit to the company !
Yuvanesh was so accomodating, friendly, informed and patient!
The tour guide was quite friendly, knowledgeable about the places we visited, and patient to allow me enough time to explore. He made up very well for certain events that were out of our control, like the bad weather
Fabulous experience! Yuvanesh was a fantastic tour guide with a wealth of tidbits about the culture and history of Kuala Lumpur.
Highly recommended tour. Very interesting with a lot of info and curiosities
Exactly what we wanted, extremely friendly knowledgeable guid. Jag contacted us the day before to suggest that we started early, this worked out to be a fantastic suggestion as we stayed ahead of the crowds and missed the heavy morning traffic. All in all a great tour and guide which we would highly recommend.
