Great way to see the main sights!

We enjoyed this tour. Our guide Sathia was friendly, knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information about the temples we visited and in particular the Batu Caves! We only had a short time in KL and this was a morning very well spent! Also really appreciated all the local tips about other places to visit and eat!
