Review of Kuala Lumpur’s Batu Caves, Thean Hou Temple and National Mosque tour, with practical advice on timing, dress, transport and value.
“We booked the private tour for the morning, which we highly recommend regarding amount of people and temperature. The booking process went really well but be advised to be patient with notification and communication with the tour operator regarding who will be your driver and the details of pick up, like described 24h before the tour. All went well and our driver, Mustafa, was super friendly, super on-time and we enjoyed the conversation and time with him. If you like to be without people and at your pace - that is perfect. 3 cultures and religions in a morning!”
Explore Ipoh’s three distinctive cave temples, 450-step views, Mirror Lake, local breakfast, white coffee, and expert guide Fazly.
“The caves are a bit run down (and garish for western tastes) and too much rubbish around . The 450 steps to the lookout are a test , but doable. The guide, Fazly was absolutely fantastic, funny, very knowledgeable, and very good company. I would recommend asking for him , you won’t be disappointed!”
Review of Penang’s private city tour and Kek Lok Si Temple, with George Town, temples, street art, pricing, timing, and practical tips.
“Abbiamo avuto modo di visitare solo il tempio di Kek Lok Si per il tempo limitato di visita ma ne è valsa davvero la pena per il suo fascino e suggestione. Purtroppo la guida non ci ha dato quasi nessuna spiegazione e ci ha lasciato visitare liberamente gli spazi. Più un’autista che una vera guida. Anche il suo inglese non perfetto e pienamente comprensibile.”
Review of Penang’s private 7-hour tour, covering temples, Botanical Gardens, Penang Hill, Kek Lok Si, and the Peranakan Mansion.
“Good way to see Penang Hill and other top sites. We chose the sites we wanted to go to based on similar tour the previous day so spending more time on the hill was preferable for us. This tour gives you flexibility to get around with a private driver. Given the way street art is dispersed or found everywhere in George Town, it’s probably best to find by foot.”
