Great day tour! - Aru was very knowledgeable. He provided a thorough cultural tour as advertised and helped us to see all the key sights in KL. If you’re only visiting for a couple of days, I would definitely recommend checking this out.

Enjoyable morning at the KL temples - Our tour pilot Harin took us to the Batu Caves, National Mosque, Chinatown & Chinese temple. We enjoyed the contrasts of the 3 temples and not something that we have back at home so made lots of new memories with the family. Harin kindly explained the background to what we saw in and around KL and ensured our experience was very positive, even kindly took some photos of the whole family for us to look back on. We thought the trip was good value for money too.
