Excellent Half-Day in KL

This tour was exactly as detailed. Able to see Batu Caves, the National Mosque, and Thean Hou Temple all in one day with no hassles to get from point to point. My guide, Louis, was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable about the city and provided great background information not just about the sites but also some additional spots worth visiting during the rest of my time in the city.
