Bacu caves - PRABAZ was my private tour guide. He was on time and shared his knowledge of KL and Malaysia. He took me to see Bacu caves and ensured I got to see the unusual things. We also visited the Malaysia mosque, the Chinese Buddhist temple. Chinatown, little India and many other sights. PRABAZ was flexible and keen to help.

Great tour of KL with Probaz - Our tour with Probaz was brilliant! He picked us up on time from our hotel and his car was very clean, spacious and had good air con. We visited Batu Caves which were incredible, and Probaz guided us around and gave us lots of information. He also gave us time to explore ourselves, and was happy to take pictures for us! The Batik workshop was beautiful, followed by the national mosque and then Thean Hou Temple. Both places were peaceful and breathtaking in their unique way. Would recommend this tour with Probaz!

Professional guide, excellent tour - Our guide was Prabaz and found him to be truly professional. Even before he picked us from our hotel, he provided us with pictures of his car so we knew what to look out for at pick up time. He also provided some information on dress code for my wife for visiting Batu Caves. We paid RM10 each to go into the smaller caves initially and glad he took us there as I felt there was more to see in those caves than the more common bigger ones that lead from the 272 steps. Next us was the national mosque and on the way he took us to a batik art workshop which was fascinating to see the silk scarfs being hand painted. Mosque done and the last stop was the Chinese temple. Again a worthy visit just like the mosque. Parabaz even offered to take us to little India on way back to our hotel but by this point we were tired so declined his kind offer. All in all, a great trip and yes you could do it cheaper by taking Grab’s but this was a private tour and well worth the money. 10/10
