Unforgettable Informative Tour - Book it!

Published on Jun, 2023

If you're looking for a better understanding of KK, book this trip. I loved that there were two people: a dedicated driver and also a tour guide who spoke excellent English and answered any questions we had. The car was air conditioned (very important for someone jet lagged from Canada), the driver was polite and a safe driver. Walter was flexible and allowed us to stay as little or as long at the museum, Buddhist temple and market. I highly recommend this tour - it’s exactly what you’re looking for to get a better understanding of KK (Malaysian) culture and history.

Great tour around the city

Published on Feb, 2020

Visiting the famous landmarks of KK City made us more appreciative and knowledgeable about their culture and tradition. Overall we enjoyed the tour and hopefully will come back soon.

Very good

Published on May, 2019

We had a six hour layover at KK so arranged the tour privately (5 friends travelling together) and was not disappointed - was met at airport by guide who helped us store our luggage, he provided us with bottled water during the tour and also arranged for a pit stop at a coffee shop for coffee and snacks. The city of KK has lots to see and the views from the hills are spectacular. We were dropped back at airport and again our guide came with us to collect the luggage, he assisted with the checking in and took us to the baggage drop off, excellent service. We were glad we fitted this tour in and it was relatively cheap at £26 per person.
