Shiva did a great job but the information on the website is slightly off
4 stars instead of 5 because it is confusing that this tour comes with a driver and not a guide. Luckily our driver Shiva was EXCELLENT and provided us with lots of history and knowledge. He explained that groups under 6 people only have a driver and not a guide. This should be stated on the website and explained before the tour. Another reason to not have all 5 stars is that we didn't get to visit China Town. There was some sort of accident there the day before so the area was closed. Once again it wasn't our drivers fault but something that should be explained before. Overall, I enjoyed the tour and locations. I wouldn't book it as my only tour in Kuala Lumpur though.

Great way to see the main attractions
A great way to see the main attractions. Our driver Jacob was very knowledgeable, friendly and so accommodating of our little boy! I would recommend this driver if you can request. KL is really hot! So be prepared for the heat! We travelled with a 1 year old— wouldn’t recommend if you want to get the most out of the sites.

The best
I was anxious because I'm not good at English, but the driver was friendly, and my whole family enjoyed it.

A comfortable and comprehensive introduction to Kuala Lumpur
We greatly enjoyed this private half day tour. Our guide Nesh, was informative, friendly and happy to answer all our questions. He gave us a comprehensive briefing at each site, registered us, then left us to do our own thing. Nesh was also open to changing the itinerary for things we’d already seen. Being driven in an air conditional vehicle, door to door, made seeing so many sites easy. Thank you Nesh.

A perfect Tour for Getting a good Impression of Kuala Lumpur !
Louis was such an attentive, informative, and friendly tour guide; I couldn't have asked for anything better. I saw so many amazing and interesting things in a single day (Hindu temple, mosque, Chinese temple, Little China, Little India, batik making), and Louis has so much helpful information about them. Many thanks for that!

Shiva, one of the best drivers
Our driver Shiva was very good, he told us everything important and translated into German with his cell phone, much better than with the hop-on hop-off.

The Best Half Day Cultural Experience in Kuala Lumpar
We had a wonderful experience on this tour with Prasan. He was very informative about the schedule and the history of each landmark we visited. I would highly recommend this tour as it touches on the Hindu, Buddhist and Malay culture seeing many beautiful Temples and mosques. Also followed by some markets which were great. Highly recommend this tour and our driver Prasan. Thanks
