“Very informative tour. You learn everything about Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia. The tour guide was very nice. If you happen to be on a quick visit to Kuala Lumpur and need to have a quick but packed-of-information tour then this is it. I had no plan of going to KLCC but the tour guide dropped me off to it so I had my chance to get near and have a photo of the famous Petronas Twin Tower. I really recommend this tour.” -Katherine

“Great collections! It’s a must see in Penang! Thanks to Ricky for a wonderful tour and history of the museum.” -Eng
“We enjoyed our tour of George Town, including visits to Pinang Peranakan Mansion, Khoo Kongsi, Reclining Buddha Temple and Clan Jetties. Our guide picked us up from Holiday Inn Penang and was very friendly and knowledgeable.
Note however that the tour also included unexpected stops at local stores selling chocolate, amber and batik prints. To be honest the family enjoyed visiting the stores, but I wish it had been clearly stated beforehand in the trip description” -Alex
