Our driver Mohd was excellent, he took us to lots of different locations and was very knowledgeable on all of them, he spoke to us about Kuala Lumpur and how people live and how everything works, it was a really enjoyable trip.

woodoo0528, Apr 2024
This trip is so convenient. Our driver was friendly and polite but unfortunately I didn’t get his name.
Terrible
TrevorWilliam_D, Apr 2024
We were actually very disappointed. The aircon was not on until we asked several times. The car was not suitable as the windows weren’t big enough. The driver did not speak English well and told us nothing. He was able to tell us where we were going, but no stories, no details. The driver also did not come out with us to then explain stuff. Additionally we did not go to everything described in the package. That is not good. We have other tours booked with Viator so now I’m scared.

Indran Best Tour Guide in KL!
Dave_P, Mar 2024
Our Driver Indran was the best. He made sure we took our time to see everything in KL. He explained everything and took his time to show us. He is a former body guard so that mades us feel even safer. Lastly i had bought something from Royal Sanger to be delivered. He even followed up to see if I received it. He even went the distance to contact them for mw to find out when I would get it If you come to KL ask for him. Best Tour Guide

Hald Day tour
Robert_G, Feb 2024
Kuya Driver, bought us mango juice. We really appreciate that on a hot day tour. He's good guy. He also gave us a ride to our next hotel. And congratulations to him and her wife and to the newly born baby. Best luck in the future always.
I should get the refund !!!!!
Inggraini_s, Feb 2024
The driver came on time and he had good information for Kuala Lumpur . The day was so hot that we just off and on quickly After visiting the hindu temples ( the third stops) the driver dropped me off at little India to gave me time to explore the area quickly. When we resumed I heard a big bang and apparently the engine was dead and we could not continue . I had to wait half an hour in the heat and in the unfamiliar environment for the driver to contact the office and what to do . I demanded to sent me back to the hotel by taxi as I did not want to wait any longer . I am a solo travel and that experience traumatized me. He finally got the approval to get a taxi for me . It was unfortunate event but I hope it won’t happen to any solo travel . I have not complained to the company yet but hope this will suffice as a complaint for them to decide to refund portion of the trip. The tour took me only to see less than half of my sight seeings from the ad provided.

Excellent customer service. The tour guide was very courteous and knowledgeable. Took us to the main spots in KL city.
Good places but overpriced
Dilraj_S, Feb 2024
Enjoyed little India and the views from the temple. However this is overpriced and the taxi driver didn't give any information or your per se. Simply drove us around. Grab or hiring a taxi driver for 4 hours would have been cheaper and got the same out of it.

Susan_H, Dec 2023
A great way to see the city in the luxury of a private car. Helmi was very knowledgeable and gave us plenty of time at each stop.
Memorable spot of the tour, the mosque
Jurg_H, Dec 2023
We enjoyed being just at the right time at the mosque , when it opened for non-muslims. So we had time to discover a religion we didn’t know much about.
