Itinerary
The Petronas Twin Towers are an ideal place for a spectacular selfie. The Towers are justifiably considered a highlight of a trip to Kuala Lumpur, as they present an opportunity to marvel at the city’s skyline and capture unforgettable moments on camera.
You will then head to the Merdeka Square (also known as Independent Square) where you can relax in the cool breeze, take photos, and see the surrounding buildings such as the Sultan Abdul Samad Building.
The National Mosque of Malaysia is a mosque in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It has a capacity for 15,000 people and is situated among 13 acres (53,000 m2) of gardens. The mosque is a bold and modern approach in reinforced concrete, symbolic of the aspirations of a then newly independent Malaysia.
Visit National Monument that has exhibits of local history, culture and traditions, arts and crafts and a great bronze sculpture erected to commemorate the soldiers who lost their lives during World War II and the Emergency.
Visit the Taman Orchid Gardens and enjoy a moment away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The Malaysian equivalent to Buckingham Palace, Royal King's Palace (Istana Negara) attracts thousands of visitors with its golden domes and Islamic-style architecture. Although you can’t explore the palace, you can learn about the Malaysian monarchy.
Drive to Thean Hou Temple, a 6-tiered pagoda temple atop Robson Heights. Completed in 1987 and officially opened in 1989, it was built by the Hainanese community of Kuala Lumpur and is dedicated to the goddess Tian Hou (The Heavenly Mother).

Traveler reviews
We visited the Merdeka square, central Mosque, the palace, where we witnessed the changing of the guard and much more.
We were taken on a half day tour of Kuala Lumpur. Our amazing guide was Sathia- what a gem she was. Her knowledge, enthusiasm and love for her country shone through the whole trip. Four hours of unbridled joy and education. Thank you Sathia. Celeste and Andrew
Highly recommended for solo travellers
Highly recommend especially for solo travellers. Thanks to Denesh I was able to see many highlights I otherwise wouldn't have across the city such as the botanical gardens, the war memorial, the KLCC and the Kuala Lumpur Tower as most Malaysian tours seem to only allow booking for 2 or more people.
Passionate and enthusiastic
Great trip to Batu caves and Malacca. Prabaz was a lovely driver and guide who is very knowledgeable about Kuala Lumpors history and culture and was very keen to share this with us. We loved our trip but the only disappointment was missing out on the boat cruise in Malacca, a key element of the visit to Malacca due to a heavy rainstorm. Had our trip taken place the previous day as per our booking we would have had the complete experience
Class gladly again
It was a great tour Prabaz is a very personable person and a very good guide. He speaks good English and everything explained great. I would book the same again!
City of fun
