This was a very nice tour...
Emma_F
, Jun 2022
This was a very nice tour and my driver was very very nice! However, I would have liked to have learned more about the history of Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur, instead I just felt like we stopped at certain places and took pictures, not really knowing what they were or how they were important. The driver was super nice, but was not a tour guide, just a driver who did his best to answer my questions.

Our tour guide, Mohammed was excellent and knowledgeable about each site we stopped in . He was most patient and open to all our questions and would accommodate us for all our suggestions. We feel so bad we did not give him more tip as we were confused about the money denominations. I would recommend him for his excellent service!

Not what’s described
Ramesh_N
, Apr 2022
The trip was approx. 2hrs and the driver only suggested to take pictures from the outside of a few places and he didn’t know much of the local story. We saw, a Batik printing shop (no tour), twin towers from the outside, Dataran Merdeka area, National Mosque from outside too and Istana from outside. We asked the driver to stop at Muslim architecture museum and we paid and looked around ourselves. Positive comments are that, the driver picked us up at our hotel relatively punctual, and we as polite and helped take pictures. But the tour is not worth the money.

Discussions on Malaysia and football
jonesdl
, Feb 2020
I was the only one on the tour. Most other people preferred the hop on hop off. This tour involved a drive around some of the main sites. It didn’t cover the large number of sites the hop on hop off did however it’s strength was the discussion on Malaysia and its culture. I was able to ask any questions I wanted and got pretty straight answers. So all good in the end.

Seeing the museum.
Jeffrey_S
, Jan 2020
I felt they took you to a store to buy chocolate and another store to buy painted pictures. That left only 10 minutes to take a picture outside of the Patronas tower and then they said there wouldn’t be time to go inside the museum. We decided to go inside the museum and take a grab taxi back to the hotel on our own. By then half of the people in the tour had left the tour prior to the end.

A bit boring and unnecessary at parts
Umut A
, Sep 2019
There were some stops that were just shops essentially. The best stop is the National Museum, our guide advised us not to go in but I’m glad I did and only cost RM5. it was a great museum. I would’ve rather have spent more time there than at a chocolate ‘factory’ which was just a shop and a clothes store.

Great to see some of the sights. We were the only ones on this tour so if we didn’t want to see something then we would just tell the driver. Once finished he dropped us to a shopping centre instead of our hotel, but that was also our choice.
