This was a great value for the money. We had enough time at the batu caves not to feel rushed. Guide gave good knowledge of the history and area. Batu caves are self guided. There are lots of stairs. Bus was comfortable and air conditioned. I would do again. I went as a solo traveler, and felt comfortable. Ladies if you wear a dress 3/4th of leg must be covered, or you can buy a wrap on site for as little as RM15.

The tour guide was wonderful and provided us with lots of information about Malaysia and the caves. The pick up was right on time with a very good driver. Highly recommend this half day tour, one not to miss.

Could be explained that the temple entrance inside the cave is explorable with the activity, but requires to remove shoes to enter. But it really is not necessary to enjoy the tour itself. Great experience either way.
