Things to do in  Kuala Lumpur

Fantastic tour! Louis was very informative and pleasant to be around! Was able to see a lot around the city in a short period of time while we were in Kuala Lumpur! Thank you!!!

This was our first visit to Kuala Lumpur and this tour was an excellent way to see the highlights. Our Tourist Guide was very knowledgeable and I would definitely recommend this tour.

Excellent trip with a knowledgeable guide, worth doing. You get to see a number of places around Kuala Lumpur although the tour did not go to China Town which is a pity as it's a site to behold. We went on another trip and caught China Town on it. Perhaps its down to limited time on a half day trip.

We had not visited Kuala Lumpur so we took this tour for a refresh of the city. WE were the only group on the tour and we had an excellent tour guide. Highly recommended for an overview of the main attractions within the city.

With limited time to spend in Kuala Lumpur we would recommend this tour as a way to see the main attractions and gain local knowledge of them. Margin our tour guide was the best, enthusiastic and helpful from pick up at the hotel to drop off. Great experience of a truly wonderful city.

This was a worthwhile way to see the main highlights of Kuala Lumpur in one day. The driver/ guide was helpful, attentive and knowledgeable. The group we were touring with that day were great company. My wife and I are not so keen on Indian food but we knew that that was the lunch when we booked - it was an experience.

Unfortunately, I fractured my ankle shortly before our trip to Kuala Lumpur so I was unable to actually walk up the steps to the cave itself. My husband walked up and took photos so at least I did manage to get to see the inside in picture. Our tour guide was very informative and in general, it was a good tour.

This was such an excellent tour of KL. I only had about 36 hours in the city and didn’t really know where to even start. I booked this tour and was so glad because we covered a lot of ground. I truly had the best day going around the city with Chen as my tour guide. He picked me up promptly at the hotel W Kuala Lumpur. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, professional and accommodating. He also has wonderful photography skills and knows the most beautiful places to take pictures. I am very excited to share them on the ‘Gram and cannot wait to come back to visit KL again. Thanks again!! :)

We were only in Kuala Lumpur for a few hours and wanted to maximize every moment and see the highlights. We were able to accomplish that and more with Ganeisan as our guide. He was promptly waiting for us at the airport and then we set off to see as much as we could. He took us around some of the main sites in KL including Chinatown. He was flexible enough to also stop at some places for requests we had with food and coffee which was an added bonus. Overall, great experience and highly recommended! If you can request him specifically, I would advise you to.

We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Rajan TQ was very knowledgeable and shared much information about the local culture, history, and various buildings/businesses as we passed by. The stop at the Fort Altingsburg offered a beautiful overlook of the area and a distant view of the sea; the monkeys were amusing and fun to feed. We then stopped at the bustling riverfront restaurant area and enjoyed our dinner. The meal and facilities were very traditional and a new experience for us. We then boarded the jetty where we were transferred into the dark mangrove swamp to see the fireflies flash and twinkle like Christmas lights. Finally, we returned to Kuala Lumpur where we were able to see the final display of lights for the night at the River of Life. Overall, the tour was very enjoyable. The River of Life display was disappointing as it only played one song and lasted for only a couple of minutes. Our tour guide was wonderful and made this a great trip. He stopped at a roadside stand where we sampled lemang (sticky rice cooked in bamboo) and coconut water. This was an unexpected highlight of the trip. I would recommend this tour and Rajan TQ as your guide.

This dual tour is the best value for money to see Kuala Lumpur from above. Prebooking your tickets takes the fuss away but if you have time, there is a board that tells you what times are available so in offseason not always necessary. Although most people opt to visit the Petronas Twin Towers in the evening to watch the sunset, and KL Tower during the day, I would suggest doing the opposite. Definitely visit the Petronas Towers first. The KL Towers second or you may be disappointed. The Twin Towers are impressive, new shiny ... it almost seems more spectacular from the ground below. The photos more dramatic. But from inside, you looking from behind glass. However, upgrade to the top deck at KL Towers and you are outdoors, there's a glass floor platform to challenge the faint hearted, a coffee shop to sit and enjoy a lovely snack seriously expensive, but the view and atmosphere makes it worth it. And you look down on the Petronas observation deck! If you only have time for one tower visit, the Top deck KL Tower would be my choice! There is no time limit so go up while it is light and stay for sunset! Take the Hop On Hop Off bus. There's a revolving restaurant so book a meal, if that takes your fancy! We found Booking through Viator effortless and a great experience, we use them everywhere we travel, takes the stress out of sightseeing... you get what is promised!

The Batu Cave portion of this tour was definitely the highlight. Our guide took us all the way to the top of the caves, fully explained what we were seeing, and even had us participate in a blessing ceremony with one of the monks. On our way back to the car he spotted a couple who had just gotten married, and who were at the caves for a photo op, and talked us in to some of the pictures. Great stuff! The rest of the tour didn't live up to its' beginning. We didn't get to the Kuala Lumpur Tower for our photo op, and got only a cursory trip through Little India without much commentary. Traffic was part of the problem, but not all. We did get to see Independence Square, and walk around the various buildings that surround it, as well as the junction of the two rivers that were the impetus for the founding of Kuala Lumpur. Our guide also took us to a great place, on the outskirts of Little India, for lunch, complete with banana leaves. He was informative, gave us a lot of good information, and spoke excellent English. All in all, interesting but a bit uneven. Your guides need to stick to the published itinerary....

Our driver/guide RIDZUAN arrived at the hotel on time and told us that he is not a liscened guide but a driver! Well we learned that he is a driver who knows Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia better than many tour guides we had at other places. First he told us, what we could visit and see and we decided which places to visit and he was very flexible und adapted whenever we got new questions and ideas. Just perfect. Lunch is included and we are vegeterian so he found us nice small vegeterian chinese restaurant - great. We could also ask him about a great variety of questions about Malaysian customs etc. and he really knows a lot about his country. Thank you Ridzuan we did enjoy our day.

Ganesh, our guide on this tour, was excellent. He bottles of water and bananas for us , which was a nice touch. His manner was very easy going, which meant that we did not have the feeling he was rushing us. He answered all our questions with great sensitivity and knowledge. He even thought that we were very fit because we managed to reach the second temple within the Batu Caves. This was a nice touch as we are not spring chickens but do keep ourselves relatively fit. A very comprehensive tour of Kuala Lumpur, which finished with the iconic PETRONAS Towers Observation Deck.

This Private tour was fantastic! Our tour guide Paul drove an extra 30-40 minutes out of Kuala Lumpur to BukkitTingy to pick us up. He had great knowledge of the history of Malaysia and each site that we visited. The Batu caves were amazing and the waterfalls refreshing once we got to the top! It was fun to see monkeys everywhere along the way. Paul took us to a little chinese village for lunch on the way home. He selected a few local dishes for us to try - they were so delicious! We would have never though to try these meals if Paul did not take us there. The private car made the whole journey more personal and relaxing, we could go at our own pace Book this tour if you are going to KL - you will enjoy it!

I booked this tour with no high expectation and was met with lots of terrific experiences. We had a private tourguide, his name is LG. He speaks fluent english and was so welcoming that me and my wife felt pretty safe all the way through the journey. He took us to Selangor, which we like to actually experience how things are outside the dense area Kuala Lumpur. LG has it all, he is calm and shows repect to your point of view. We had very good chemistry. We brought up different topics and shared travel experiences. I would say that he went the extra mile to make sure that the service is a slice better than good. I will absolutely recommend this tour. You get to see other parts of Malaysia. You get stories from a local malay LG and ofcourse the fireflies experience that is priceless. It's lots of fireflies! My recommendation is to sit back and enjoy the boatride instead of taking pictures. I understand that the main focus is not the food, it was average. If you want lobster and other kinds of seafood than what the package gives, then you can order extra and pay for it. The atmosphere on the restaurant was very busy and fun to watch. Overall, this was more than a fireflies tour. The totally experience was unique for us. The tourguide is important here. We have only met one of them, but have good impression that this is a professional company. We have no problem communication with them. I called them from my hotel and got respond in english. Based on what we know, our tourguide LG is absolutely a recommendation for those who want to exchange things in english and get the little extra out of this tour.

I've had many city tours over the years, but this one definitely tops them all. Our guide was extremely friendly and went above and beyond to ensure that our needs were met and we had a fantastic time. We were picked up in a timely fashion and shown around the top city sights exactly as described. Our driver was very flexible and catered to our needs, and we genuinely felt cared for and that our custom was appreciated, right to the very end of the day. There was simply nothing more that could have been done to make it better. Very stress-free, excellent value for money and I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to see the main attractions in Kuala Lumpur on a limited timescale.

Hi, The Fireflies Boat Ride trip from Kuala Lumpur did not disappoint. Having asked the Concierge to phone the travel company on the ground to confirm our trip we were told the exact time of pick up. We were then picked up at our hotel on time. The driver was our guide also - a very good knowledgeable and informative guide, with patience for any questions the tourists threw at him. On our way to Selangor we stopped at a place to see and feed little monkies on the road. That was good fun! On arrival for our boat ride we were taken to a local restaurant for our dinner, which was very tasty, as sundown approached. Then it was time for the highlight of the evening - first we were each given a life jacket for the boat trip. Then the magic happened! Our oarsman rowed us across the river to the mangroves where the fireflies were congregated. You couldn't see the actual flies, only the fire bit. It was like Christmas trees with tiny twinkling lights all over - in the dark. Pure magic! That alone would have made the trip, but both the scenery, and the other attractions on the way made it one great evening. A trip to remember! Thanks Viator

Our tour guide, Mr Bakshi, was so passionate and kept us well informed of all that Kuala Lumpur has to offer from the time we were collected until we were dropped off again. He virtually gave running commentary about everything we drove past and saw. He's definitely an asset to his company and great ambassador for Kuala Lumpur. The tour included all the sites which we wanted to see except the National Monument which was excluded in our tour.

This afternoon tour is actually an 8 hour tour and takes in all the key places. Our guide Ganesh was very knowledgeable, and very personal with it - offering real detail about sights like the Batu Cave Hindu shrine. We got some great insights into Kuala Lumpur and he was even able to assist with our daughter who had to miss the tour with sickness - he arranged for is Medical Doctor son-in-law to visit and he was a brilliant help! The fact that this tour includes guaranteed access to the Petronas Towers observation decks is a massive plus as it just works, as opposed to the disappointment so many people get when they try to turn up and book while in KL - which seems almost impossible. Highly recommend, and if you get Ganesh in his fancy brand new Toyota too then you will be delighted.
