A perfect Tour for Getting a good Impression of Kuala Lumpur !

Louis was such an attentive, informative, and friendly tour guide; I couldn't have asked for anything better. I saw so many amazing and interesting things in a single day (Hindu temple, mosque, Chinese temple, Little China, Little India, batik making), and Louis has so much helpful information about them. Many thanks for that!

Shiva, one of the best drivers

Our driver Shiva was very good, he told us everything important and translated into German with his cell phone, much better than with the hop-on hop-off.

The Best Half Day Cultural Experience in Kuala Lumpar

We had a wonderful experience on this tour with Prasan. He was very informative about the schedule and the history of each landmark we visited. I would highly recommend this tour as it touches on the Hindu, Buddhist and Malay culture seeing many beautiful Temples and mosques. Also followed by some markets which were great. Highly recommend this tour and our driver Prasan. Thanks
