The visit to the Factory was listed as one of the City Tour highlights yet the Factory guided walk was very brief (around 10 minutes) and more time was allocated to the Factory shop.

Obviously the purpose of the tour is commercial. They want you to buy what they produce, but you do see some of the production process and they have some opportunity for hands on.

An official tour of the factory includes: - small museum - demonstration of many stages in the process of making a pewter tankard - we only had 2 people on our tour so everyone was able to try dimpling a demonstration tankard, with a hammer - brief view of people at work on various items in the factory (what you...

It is a must visit place for anyone as this is a major part of Kuala Lumpur history! Ring up this place and get them to arrange for a free return trip transport to their factory. They will organise a tour for you where they will educate you with the history of pewter in KL, how it is made and... More
