Itinerary

Admission not included30 min

The Petronas Twin Towers are an ideal place for a spectacular selfie. The Towers are justifiably considered a highlight of a trip to Kuala Lumpur, as they present an opportunity to marvel at the city’s skyline and capture unforgettable moments on camera.

15 min

You will then head to the Merdeka Square (also known as Independent Square) where you can relax in the cool breeze, take photos, and see the surrounding buildings such as the Sultan Abdul Samad Building.

15 min

The National Mosque of Malaysia is a mosque in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It has a capacity for 15,000 people and is situated among 13 acres (53,000 m2) of gardens. The mosque is a bold and modern approach in reinforced concrete, symbolic of the aspirations of a then newly independent Malaysia.

30 min

Visit National Monument that has exhibits of local history, culture and traditions, arts and crafts and a great bronze sculpture erected to commemorate the soldiers who lost their lives during World War II and the Emergency.

30 min

Visit the Taman Orchid Gardens and enjoy a moment away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

30 min

The Malaysian equivalent to Buckingham Palace, Royal King's Palace (Istana Negara) attracts thousands of visitors with its golden domes and Islamic-style architecture. Although you can’t explore the palace, you can learn about the Malaysian monarchy.

30 min

Drive to Thean Hou Temple, a 6-tiered pagoda temple atop Robson Heights. Completed in 1987 and officially opened in 1989, it was built by the Hainanese community of Kuala Lumpur and is dedicated to the goddess Tian Hou (The Heavenly Mother).

Great day in Kuala Lumpur filled with laughter and fun. Ask for Jennifer.

Jennifer was fabulous. She was knowledgeable, a great driver and made it all FUN. She speaks multiple languages and English is her first language despite being born and raised in Malaysia. We learned so much about Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia. Thank you a fun, laughter filled memory producing day.

Tina made sure everyone felt included and comfortable, and her passion for what she does really shone through. The itinerary was perfectly paced, well-organized, and full of memorable moments. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend booking a tour with Tina—you won’t regret it!
