  • 5Fun and Knowledgeable

    My wife and I spent a half day with Hoopy, traveling to Batu Caves and, an add on, Federal Territory Mosque. Hoopy was knowledgeable and fun to be with. Our visit to Batu Caves was the main purpose of the tour, but when we ended up seeing the Caves sooner than expected, Hoopy added a visit to Federal Territory Mosque. It was a welcome addition to our visit to Kuala Lumpur.

  • 5Short but wonderful day in Kuala Lumpur

    We spent a wonderful day with, Paul, our driver and guide! We arrived in Malaysia on a cruise ship that docked in Port Klang, which is approximately 40 km from Kuala Lumpur. Given traffic conditions and our relatively short time in port we knew it could be difficult to visit Batu Caves, but Paul made it work. Paul was waiting for us as we departed the ship and we immediately drove to temple. Paul expertly guided us up the steps to the interior temples; providing expert explanations along the way. He was patient and knowledgeable; letting us set the pace and answering our many questions. After we left cave site, Paul was able to provide a quick city tour, with stops at the Petronas Twin Towers and Merdeka Square. We also had the opportunity to stop for some street food (banana fritters and curry puffs) before departing for the ship. What a treat! Thank you, Paul! By the way… Paul is a longtime resident of Malaysia and is willing shared his knowledge and experiences with us. Thanks again.

  • 5Viator and Adnan to make the most of your visit to Kuala Lumpur

    A Viator private tour was the best way for us to see the most and learn the most in our limited time in Kuala Lumpur. Our driver and guide, Adnan, met us at the dock as arranged using What's App. His knowledge of the area was extensive and he shared many stories and a great deal of background information as we drove to Batu Caves. He negotiated traffic like a pro and knew right where to go without any delays. Adnan was very accommodating and took us to all the highlights of the city, willingly stopping for photos as we wished. We would highly recommend this Viator private tour and in particular, Adnan as a guide, to make the most of a visit to Kuala Lumpur. Bill and Jinny J

  • 5Beautiful journey to Batu Caves

    Our driver/guide, Paul picked us up at the port Klang cruise terminal and made a quick stop in Kuala Lumpur to take photo of the Petronius tower and on to Batu Caves. Dropped us off at the entrance and parked and found us before the hike up the stairs. It was very crowded but did not take away from the beauty of the cave formations and the beauty of the temple. On the way back he took us to Chinatown. Then drove us back to the port, to re-board our cruise ship. Great guide and very friendly person. Would definitely hire him again.

  • 5The Ultimate Batu Caves Day Trip - Paul Wong

    We actually went to on two trips with Paul because of how great he was. The other trip we went on was the Malacca Day Trip. He was on time and made sure we were comfortable and prepared for the whole tour. The cave itself was amazing and we recommend booking this tour with Paul

About Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur is Malaysia's vibrant capital, where the Petronas Towers soar over Malay, Chinese and Indian neighbourhoods and renowned street food.

The twin Petronas Towers, linked by a skybridge, define the skyline, with a landscaped park and fountains at their feet. The KL Tower offers a different view from its forested hill, and Merdeka Square, where the national flag was raised at independence, is framed by the Moorish-style Sultan Abdul Samad Building.

Top-ranked sights in Kuala Lumpur: National Mosque of Malaysia (Masjid Negara), Thean Hou Temple, Kuala Lumpur Chinatown.
