Superb afternoon - We were picked up directly at our hotel by a very friendly driver who took us to the 4 chosen points. Private excursion. Passage to Batu Caves. This is to be seen for the imposing statue and the temple built inside the cave. In 30 minutes it is indeed more than enough. Monkeys are a spectacle and unfortunately the place filled with pigeons. Fortunately they pass a jet of water to clean.... Then stop at Amman Temple, far from everything. Very serene place and beautiful unpainted carved temple. We made a new stop at a lighthouse, the woman walking we took the cart that brings us up to admire the scenery and monkeys.... Little interest but it doesn’t make a detour so we might as well do it. And last stop in Selangor before going to see the fireflies, to dine by the river in one of the great restaurants that does well. We ate well there. Boarding at 19:15 in a small boat for a few minutes before arriving at the fireflies site. And there the magic happens, full of little beasts that we only see because they shine. The pilot approached the mangroves to catch some and show us. Some of them are entering the boat. These few minutes are superb. Then back to the river controllers... afternoon very nice! Then return to the hotel with our pleasant driver!

Transport, and a basic meal - Disappointing – Not a Tour, Just Transport and a Basic Meal We were really looking forward to this experience, but it didn’t deliver. This is essentially just a driver taking you from place to place — there was no commentary or information provided throughout the trip. Even when we asked questions, the answers were brief and unclear. The Firefly boat ride was beautiful, but again, no explanation or background was offered by that company, which made it feel like a missed opportunity to learn more about the area or the natural phenomenon. Dinner was also disappointing. We provided dietary information in advance but were not asked or acknowledged on arrival. Food was brought to the table without explanation, and when I asked what a dish was, I received a blunt response ("fish fillet") and nothing more. The seafood component was minimal — just two prawns per person and a small amount of fish — so it felt a bit misleading given the way the dinner was described. Overall, this felt like a very expensive car ride with a basic dinner, rather than a guided tour. With a few improvements — like adding context, offering basic hospitality, and communicating clearly — this experience could be much better.
