OK, but a bit overpriced for what you get

Tour guide, Kugan was very nice and accommodating. He listened to our requests and took us to places we asked for. Car is a bit old and rickety. He also just waited on us to finish the tour and come back to the car which was fine with us. No lunch was provided although listed as part of the tour. It felt overpriced for what we got. Just be aware if you book this one.

Batu caves and cultural temples tour

My guide, say host, was Shiva. If you want the ins and outs from KL, you need to go with him. Had a great experience!

Amazing tour with Sathia

I had an amazing tour with Sathia! She is passionate, considerate, humorous, and very good at communications. She made the whole tour so much more than just sightseeing. Her stories, energy, and local tips really made it special. We started our tour from Batu Caves. The colourful stairs look fantastic. I love the Hindu goddess Durga Devi, who’s an elegant warrior. Sathia brought cookies so that I’ve got a chance to feed the monkeys! Then we went to the National Mosque, Thean Hou Temple, and China Town. I enjoyed the beauty of the mixed-culture a lot. Sathia took great photos for me at every stop, and her obsession of clouds is lovely! She even took me to see different angles of Independent Tower. Her enthusiasm is infectious, which makes my whole tour more vivid. We finished our tour having lunch at Indian Empire, an incredible Indian restaurant. I told Sathia that I could not eat any spicy food, and the staff Sesha took care of that. The butter chicken was very delicious! Sathia made every minute of this tour worth it. I really had a great time! Will recommend to friends, and even bring my family to visit one day :)
