Half a day was long enough. Both 2 stops were interesting. We were given long enough time at Batu caves to have brunch

Sasi was our guide he is very funny and informative! He makes sure we have plenty of time to experience the 2 sites we went to. He will answer any questions you have and makes you really dive deep into the culture of Malaysia, like how each Hindu practice is done for a reason, rings, colors scientific researches super nice and it really makes you want to listen. Our driver Kathir was such a sweet driver, makes sure we dont have a hard time getting off and on the bus. They are also accommodating on drop off area since it is only half day if the bus was passing by a certain area they would be willing to do so! Definitely worth this trip!!! Book it! My sister and I definitely recommend them and hopefully you get both Sasi and Kathir as your guide and driver!
