A great cultural landmarks tour in Kuala Lumpur - Interesting and enjoyable tour with visits to many cultural landmarks in Kuala Lumpur. My driver and guide, Louis, was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. In addition to sharing information about the places we visited, he also pointed out many other interesting sights along the way. A convenient way to explore the city and learn more about its culture and history.

Nice driver - Quick tour. Louis was more a driver than a guide. We did the visits alone which was not what we expected.
