A wonderful tour with Ayyanar - I had a wonderful day with Ayyanar as my guide and driver. He took me to Batu Caves, Little India, Chinatown, and Masjid Jamek, and shared interesting commentary along the way. He was knowledgeable, kind, and very considerate. He provided water, made sure I was comfortable, and even lent me a scarf to use as a skirt so I could respectfully go up to Batu Caves. I really appreciated his thoughtfulness and local knowledge. Highly recommended!

A great quick excursion to get a taste of KL - This was a great, relatively short trip that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quick excursion around KL. My driver and guide, Ben, was great; very friendly and helpful and patient. The caves are a remarkable experience and the mosque and temple are both very beautiful.
