Highlights
  • Batu Caves - After a 30-minute scenic drive, arrive at the Batu Caves to discover the home of Hindu shrines and various religious deities. Listen as your guide explains the Hindu roots of the nation and climb the 272 steps to the golden statue of Lord Murugan.
  • Thean Hou Temple - Thean Hou Temple, a 6-tiered pagoda temple atop Robson Heights. Completed in 1987 and officially opened in 1989, it was built by the Hainanese community of Kuala Lumpur and is dedicated to the goddess Tian Hou (The Heavenly Mother).
  • National Mosque (Masjid Negara) - see the stunning National Mosque of Malaysia (Masjid Negara), set in 13 acres of beautiful gardens. Admire the bold approach taken by its architects who designed it in the late 1950s as a symbol of the aspirations of the newly independent nation
  • Petaling Street Market - Continue to China Town to enter the site of dozens of restaurants and food stalls tended by Chinese, Indian, Malay and Bangladeshi traders. Watch as they serve up local favorites, such as curry noodles, Hokkien mee (a Fujian noodle dish), ikan bakar (barbecued fish) and asam laksa (a sour, fish and tamarind-based soup).
  • Little India Brickfields - Vibrant Brickfields is home to Little India, a colorful maze of textile shops and jewelry stores, plus low-key restaurants serving dosa pancakes and banana-leaf curries. Over by KL Sentral station there’s a mix of laid-back trattorias, upscale bistros and classy cocktail bars. Sri Kandaswamy Kovil is a Hindu temple with golden statues, while Buddhist Maha Vihara temple features a bodhi tree and domed pagoda

The best way to get around KL in one day - My guide Sathesh was very nice and well prepared. He texted me all the details in advance. During the tour he gave me some insights and his knowledge about the different sights. In the beginning we went to a Hindu temple and the Batu caves where he showed me around. Then we went to the Chinese temple and national mosque. He was very helpful with taking pictures the entire time. We also went to the central market, Chinatown and little India. If you want to get a quick taste of what Kuala Lumpur has to offer. I’ll definitely recommend this tour, especially if you’re a solo traveler, since I felt super safe. Thanks again to Sathesh for making it an unforgettable experience and hopefully I can come back one day.

Brilliant morning - What an excellent morning. We were picked up promptly from our hotel by our guide Louis. His car was spotlessly clean and air conditioned. Louis was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable and we learnt a lot. He organised our entrance into the various places and nothing was too much trouble. Would thoroughly recommend Louis and this trip.

Nice ride and great guide - Janar was an excellent guide, he picked us up on time at the hotel and in 4 hours took us to see many things, explaining and giving us time to wander freely. Kind and friendly, very helpful. It was a great experience to learn more about Malaysian places and culture and get lots of useful advice. Definitely recommended.

Great impressions with great guide/driver - I was on my own instead of a group tour. Anyhow, it was a great tour, all sights were interesting and nice. Driver Janar was also a perfect guide, very nice and friendly, and explained a lot about Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur, also had a very good and clean car. You get enough time to discover all sights. I can recommend it 100%! Janar gets 5 / 5 stars! Thanks for the nice experience:).
