Kuala lumpur city tour
Ayanar was a great tour guide. The best have experienced so far. And very informative.
100% Recommend This Private Tour
If you want to see the majority of the major sights in KL this is certainly the way to do it. We had a private driver called Nish. His English was great. What you need to remember in KL is that it’s a big city which is very busy and the traffic jams can be awful so doing it this way means you get to see everything in a short space of time. The driver knows exactly where to park, gives you all the history in the car, drops you off for you to make your own way around the sights, we then what’s app’d when we were finished and he would arrive within a couple of minutes to pick us up. We did use grab on another day but there’s no way we would have seen all we did using them as there can be quite a bit of hanging around.
A Wonderful Day Exploring Kuala Lumpur.
We had a wonderful experience on this tour! Everything was well organized, and we got to see many of Kuala Lumpur’s most iconic sights in just one day. A special thank you to our guide, Sathia, who was absolutely fantastic. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire day enjoyable from start to finish. She drove us safely to all the different places on the tour, shared interesting information about each location, and was always happy to answer our questions. Sathia also gave us excellent local tips and recommendations, which made our visit even more enjoyable. She was kind, helpful, and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the day. We highly recommend this tour, and if you have the chance to tour with Sathia, you’re in great hands!
Whistle stop tour of KL.
Louis was an excellent guide. Very helpful, knowledgeable and informative. We would definitely recommend this trip, especially if you only have a short stop over in KL as we did.
