Great culture and nature experience - Our guide Zach was so nice and caring. He gave us a lot if insights to the sightseeing spots, made professional photoshooting during the trip so that we would have perfekt pics and brought us closer to Malaysian culture. Also he granted us more time for specific spots like the silver leaf monkeys and made the whole trip unforgetable. Thanks for everything!

An excellent tour for a solo traveller! - A fantastic trip to end my two weeks travelling solo in Malaysia. Anuar is a wealth of knowledge on the history, spirituality and the natural environment of Malaysia. He gave me a brief in the car at each stop, took photos of me with my camera and then I was on my own to explore the sites at my leisure. A perfect amount of time was given at each stop. The food at the restaurant on the river was delicious. However, the icing on the cake was seeing the fireflies in a rowboat. So quiet and peaceful while watching the millions of little flashes in the mangroves! A great experience ☺️

Great tour. Fantastic guide. - Our guide, Noorman, was great. Terrific sense of humor. He was very entertaining and informative. Excellent English. On our way to each of our stops, he pointed out landmarks, told us about their public works projects and the history of KL. It had also begun to rain and he provided us with umbrellas. It was a nice touch. Batu Cave was very unique but make sure you are prepared for climbing a lot of stairs. In addition to the the trek to get inside, there are multiple levels inside the cave to climb. But it’s well worth it. Sri Shakti temple was very different from other Hindu temples as it was had beautiful carvings in the sandstone walls and not the brightly colored statues that you saw in Batu Cave. If your knees aren’t covered, they will give you a sarong to wear (this includes men). Women need to cover knees and shoulders. No photos inside but the outside has plenty of photo ops. Noorman took us to Altingsburg Lighthouse where we had a panoramic view and you could see all the way to the Straight of Malacca. There were 2 different species of monkeys and you could feed the Silver Leaf monkeys right out of your hand! We had a great meal on the river at a Chinese restaurant. The food was fresh, hot, and tasty. We had a relaxing boat ride as we slowly drifted down the river and saw tens of thousands of fireflies. It really did look like a Christmas tree. We had such a great time with Noorman that we called him up and had him drive us across town to our airport by the hotel. Since we weren’t in any big rush, he took took the scenic route and showed us the Prime Minister’s residence, the Putra Mosque, Exhibition Center, as well as the seven beautiful bridges that they have built this century. I highly recommend this tour. If you get Noorman as your guide, then you’ve really hit the jackpot.

Great trip that is amazing because of the driver - Our driver Zach is an amazing tour guide. He is the driver, tour guide, photographer all in one. He was very attentive. He even made a stop to go to a western toilet before we get to the countryside to watch the fireflies. We were taken to a firefly resort with a smaller llake where we saw the fireflies with only our group and no one else (while we saw big groups of 20-30 people cramped ona boat with another tour off a bigger lake), The firefly experience was quite magical. It is like watching flashing Xmas lights in the forest. Afterwards he sent us photos taken on our trip as well as food market recommendations in KL. The trip is definitely better because of Zach!!

Amazing day and experience, what a guide - What an amazing day, our guide noorman was so friendly and informative, the batu caves were an fantastic experience and the temple and lighthouse and monkeys were fabulous, the monkeys were so funny and quite friendly, we then went to an amazing restaurant on the river and the food was delicious, onto the firefly boat ride, I can't lie we were sceptical but the captain caught some firefly and put them in my han.d I was agog. Well worth the money and good value, worth a visit, if it is your thing.
