Our guide Steven kept us entertained with lots of information about the history of KL whilst we were driving to the caves. Once we arrived we were given free time to roam the area as we wished - about 1.5hrs which is plenty of time to climb to the top of the cave and back, plus visit the 3 temples ay ground level. After the caves we were taken to a nearby Batik studio where we were shown the process of batik printing/dyeing and had a turn painting on some fabric ourselves. I would say if you have weak/painfil knees, then the climb up the stairs may be too much, but, you can still take lots of lovely photos at ground level.

Johnson was an amazing tour guide! The batu caves are amazing and you also go to a Batik shop as well as a short tour around rustic Malaysian roads! Great value for money.
