Historic and Creative
Khelvin was extremely professional, knowledgible and people friendly. We were keen to visit the Batu Caves and the fact that Khelvin added the Batik Workshop to this itinerary was an added bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed both experiences and this was great value. Thanks Khelvin.

Fantastic half day tour
CHANDRAN was so lovely, from checking with us about getting picked up and making sure we were collected, through the drive to Batu, and then getting dropped back at our hotel, we had the best time. CHANDRAN was so knowledgeable about everything Malaysia. He kept us entertained for the entire time we were with him. What a fantastic experience. I will be highly recommending this to any of my friends who come to KL.

Great experience
Nadia was really great. She explained the tour very well. Arrived 10.mins early, and we we're ready 15 mins earlier. The tour began at exactly 9:30 with about 20 people in the bus. The tour was all on time. We were dropped off at our hotel just in time for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Highly recommended.👍👍👍

Recommended half day interesting tour
I recommend this tour to Batu caves and Batik workshop. An interesting and worthwhile tour, just about the correct length and duration. Our guide Mac (Mcpall) and driver were friendly, welcoming, and informative.

A trip to bath caves and Gentinghighlands
Very good experience...it was a good 6 hour lenth of time which gave us time to explore to area effectively. The atmosphere of the place was good..so was the ride. As there was an a.c bus so it was chill. If going to genting highlands during this time...would recommend carrying a jacket. Alot of steps in batu caves. But it was worth it..
