“Mr Jeff, our guide and Mr Sri, our driver were awesome people. Even though our trip to Batu cave coincided with the celebration of Hindu’s festival, our guide was able to feed us more infromation about the history and significance of the Hindu shrine and the golden statue of Lord Murugan. We were able to visit also different places as scheduled despite of not so good weather during the day. Kudos to these 2 gentlemen for doing great job!”

Visit Kuala Lumpur’s Batu Caves, climb 272 steps, meet cheeky monkeys, and see Malaysian batik on an affordable shared half-day tour.
“Nice trip, but rushed. Probably because we were waiting for some tourists. We had to wait for one guy to buy Croissant and Coffee for 20 minutes, because "he can't start a day without them". Definitely not enough time in Batu caves (30 minutes more would do). We really liked Tin factory - we didn't expect it to be this interesting.”

See Kuala Selangor’s fireflies, silvered leaf monkeys, seafood dinner, and elusive Blue Tears on an evening trip from Kuala Lumpur.

The seafood dinner (that also included meat and veg!) was absolutely delicious as well. We really wanted to see fireflies and blue tears and were so happy we took this tour”
