Reviewed on 2024-08-08: This was an awesome private tour with Mr. Fauzi. The pre-trip communication was great, and he was at the hotel promptly at the pick-up time. We visited so many of KL’s highlights in the day. Highlights were the Buddhist temple, Batu caves (my favorite- and recommend to walk the 272 steps to the top), and the waterfall. I would highly recommend this tour as a start to your KL vacay.
