Raj was our guide, brilliant guy, really knowledgeable, very friendly. Text and arranged pick up and time. Took us to Batu Caves, Presidential Palace (as Mosque was closed as we toured on a Friday), Thean Hou Temple & traditional artist painting/ print workshops - all of which were amazing. Raj was super flexible with our plans (as we had already visited the Central Market). Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend this tour. Great value for money.

Everything, from pick-up to the end of the trip was great. The service was top notch, our guide was extremely nice, helpful and obliging. The car was clean, well-maintained. The guide adjusted the trip to our needs and gave valuable advice. I can 100% recommend this trip as the best option to visit the most important places in Kuala Lumpur. In short: 10/10, would book again :)

Great introduction to KL. Driver had lots of tips for other places to go and also where to go for lunch.

It was great! I love the tour! 100% recommended! Sathesh is an Excellent tour guide! ☺☺☺☺

The guide was so informative and showed us everything we wanted to see.
