About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Jamie0220 contributionsGood TourWould have been a 4-star review but on the return drive from KL to the cruise ship Ruben drove like a maniac. He was honking at everyone including pedestrians and very impatient and constantly lane changing and swerving. Batu Caves was my favorite stop, although I would have preferred him going in with me. He did go into other stops with me which were great.Written 21 March 2025
- muzenda840 contributionsBest tour around the cityThe driver was on time for our trip.The communication was perfect.The tour was very informative,the guide took his time from place to place explaining stuff in detail about every place we visited.It was value for money and will definately do that again.Written 16 March 2025
- muzenda840 contributionsThe driver was driving above speed limit,the car seats were so uncomfortable.It was a very rough ride.Genting was good but the dThe driver was bad,going over speed limit,uncomfortable car and he even tried to use fon while driving and i said no to it.Written 16 March 2025

- Passport3530610 contributionsGreat day outA great day out visiting the Batu Caves which shouldn’t be missed but the inclusion of the Pewter and Batik factory was great. Our driver Rajah was very informative and gave us lots of additional information. Finished the day with a refreshing swim in the waterfall and a delicious local lunch.Written 11 March 2025
- hamsterjersey0 contributionsExcellent day outThe tour was excellent Rayhan Raj Naidu looked after us all day. First stopped at Pewter factory he was very knowledgeable, we learnt so much that we would not have known if we went on our own. At each stop he gave us plenty of time and tips on how best to enjoy our time. He made effort to ensure our lunch suited our tastes. His car was clean and comfortable. Excellent value.Written 11 March 2025

- Passport131022276180 contributionsA Great Trip to do!We loved our tour around the Batu Caves, hot springs and waterfall. Albinhar was so friendly and informative, we were so lucky to get him as a guide. The Batik and Pewter Tour were wonderful and possibly our favorite part of the tour. The artists at the Batik Tour were so talented, and our tour around the Pewter museum was so interesting. This trip has definitely made us want to come back and explore more of Kuala Lumpur.Written 6 March 2025
- Linda H0 contributionsGenting Highlands, great!Had a lovely time at Genting Highlands. The cable car was smooth, we had low lying clouds so visibility was limited however, this didn't spoil the experience. Stopped off at the Chinese temple, really lovely, places to eat and drink. Then we rode the cable car to the top for some outlet shopping, a great experience, loads of shops and places to eat. You could also visit the amusement Park, a really enjoyable day out.Written 6 March 2025
- NorthStar031479049150 contributionsGuide yourself, it’s easy. Avoid lazy guides.Do not use the guides. They are uninterested and do the bare minimum. Get a book and guide yourself, you can then utilise the off road trails, not the lazy tarmac, and bird until you are satisfied. Guides will leave you totally unfulfilled. The birding can be incredible if you max your time. The whole place has a colonial ghost town feel these days.Written 5 March 2025

I had booked the Kuala Selnangor fireflies, batu cave temple and Melawati hill tour. It included pick up and drop from hotel, dinner and entry tickets. It is quite reasonably priced. Our guide Mr Muraly was a knowledgeable guide, he gave us a background of the various places we visited. As I'm vegetarian, he helped arrange a veg dinner for me at a sea food restaurant :). The car arranged was clean and comfortable, the drive was great. Overall, i really enjoyed the trip and would definitely recommend the services provided by Asni tours & travel & Mr Muraly.

Definitely recommend if you’re staying in Kuala Lumpur and want to go around! My husband and I just got back to the hotel after a 7-hour tour with Haleem. He was nothing less than amazing, accommodating, and of course an expert of Malaysian history and culture. We learned a lot from him and he was overall very nice, approachable, and friendly. He’s a safe driver and is very timely (huge bonus when you have only a few days in the city and want to do a lot). We are very pleased with this experience and will definitely be booking again with Asni Tours (requesting Haleem, if feasible) when we’re back in Kuala Lumpur ☺️ Thank you very much for a great day afternoon and evening!!!

We did the fireflies with dinner only.....the weather had us worried because we got caught in full on torrential downpour on the roads.....but cleared up by the time we got to the boats. Still got to see decent amount of fireflies...started off pretty low count, but then as we floated along got to see more concentrated groups in the trees that made look like understated, elegant xmas lights.....;-)
Our driver, Lawrence was very friendly and loved sharing his knowledge around the history of KL and Malaysia.
Only suggestion would be to ensure that the complimentary water is kept cool.

Overall an average experience. Picked up by tour guide Rajen and was briefed that we had only one attraction stop at a temple before the fireflies. When asked about visiting the Batu caves/ fort altingsburg as listed in the tour, Rajen just stated that there was not enough time. ( so why list it on the itinerary?) we were brought 2.5 hours early to the fireflies port before sunset. Rajen had absolutely no clue what we could do to kill the time in between. I asked him again regarding a visit to the fort, he tells me that it’s busy and not worth my time. I eventually tell him that I would rather spend time at the fort than wait around, he reluctantly agrees and sends us there- turns out the fort is lovely and there was plenty of time to have visited. The only saving grace of the tour was the fireflies as we were blessed with good weather that day. Wouldn’t suggest this tour for its price
