Great trip! - We had a fabulous trip with Tina. We went to the Batu Caves, a Batik workshop, mosque and a Chinese temple and more.
Tina was very informative and friendly. My husband was experiencing a lot of pain with a tooth abscess and Tina went out of her way to help, she was amazing and even got him to a dentist!. Without her help our holiday would probably have ended up in lot of distress and not as enjoyable. Thank you Tina, we really appreciated your help.
Daisy also had a great time and says
'hello! We will definitely recommend you!

Well spent half day - Trip was well planned and very nicely executed. Would certainly recommend Jay as your guide, as he not only taught us about the topics of the trip, but also Malaysia in general.

Amazing trip to Batu Caves - We did the tour to Batu Caves with our guide Satesh. The trip was fantastic and Satesh is a wonderful guide and person. He explained everything very well and is an excellent photographer as well, taking lots of photos for us. We enjoyed the trip so much we booked another one the next day to see the fireflies! Batu Caves were very interesting and from the top has great views of the city in the distance. A fabulous day 😀

Brilliant tour! - What a brilliant tour! All of the places we went to see were wonderful and our guide Ayyanar made sure we had plenty of time at each destination to explore without feeling rushed. He also made sure we had umbrellas as soon as it started raining which was very thoughtful. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip and we were so glad we had Ayyanar as a guide . He was really happy, friendly and knowleegable. He taught us a lot about each of the destinations as well as Kuala Lumpur in general and he made sure every part of the tour was fun and memorable.

Great Tour, Great Guide- Sathia - My private half-day tour to Batu Caves and other sites in Kuala Lumpur (KL) was absolutely amazing. Sathia, my Travelvago tour guide, really made this a special experience. Her knowledge of Kuala Lumpur and Malaysian history and culture is incredible.
Because I had been in KL a couple of days before the tour, Sathia made some adjustments so that I could visit new sites and experience different parts of the city. She is also an expert photographer, and as a solo traveler, there was no need to limit myself to selfies. In addition to Batu Caves, I was able to visit several temples (Hindu, Muslim, and Buddhist) and Little India. During our ride, the guide pointed out important historical and architectural sites around KL.
Finally, Sathia is a foodie and helped me select a lunch spot near the Petronas Towers. She provided guidance with food choices, making this my best meal in KL. I highly recommend this tour, and if given the option, you request for Sathia for your tour guide.
