About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 446halak0 contributionsTerribleTerrible by all means. Do not believe what is said in the description or those thousands of positive reviews - not sure how they managed to get those! I booked the tour titled Batu Caves and Cultural Tour of KL which included Batu Caves, Thean Hou Temple, Mosque and a quick stop at places like Little India and Chinatown. This was also supposed to be a group guided tour. The driver shows up and checks if he got my tour correctly. It turned out the company sent him an incorrect itinerary for my booking which included just the Batu Caves and the Batik Factory - called Batu Caves and Countryside Tour instead of Cultural Tour. He accepted that the info is incorrect and along the way he informs me that sometimes when the bus is full, they send private drivers to pick up the remaining passengers. This is in response to my question about why this didn't look like a group and guided tour. Of course, none of this was true. I get there and end up touring the Caves by myself which is still fine. Mind you, the driver at this point never told me I just have 45 minutes at the Batu Caves and of course there wasn't any guide either to manage the time. I return to the car and we headed to Thean Hou Temple only to be faced with a massive traffic queue because of Chinese New Year which the company didn't even bother to factor into their consideration. At this point, the driver begins complaining while trying his best to convince me to skip the entire remaining itinerary! I refused but even though I refused I still proposed to skip the mosque and Little India + Chinatown. So in essence, I was still losing value for money but trying to help! He refused, continued arguing, mentioned I had the incorrect tour details and that this should have been the Batik factory and not this temple and that the tour is only 3.5 hours so he might have to leave me all alone at the temple to find my way back! I showed him my ticket which clearly stated the name of the correct tour and he still refused and kept arguing which was very stressful! Not to mention the anxiety of being dropped off at the temple with no way back and of course all the remaining stops that will be missed when I have already paid! He ended up waiting for me then taking me directly back to my hotel, not stopping at any further points that were included in the tour. I contacted the company to report this incident. They advised they'll check and reply but of course they disappeared. So yes, save your money. Take a cab. And don't go with this mess!Written 29 January 2025

Thoroughly recommend Panir who gave us an informative, fun and fabulous tour of KL. He went out of his way to show us the sights during this four hour tour adding great food and other recommendations for us to make the most of our short visit to this lovely city.Written 23 January 2025
- kristinjX5961LZ0 contributionsIncredibly knowledgeable guide.My tour guide told me many details about all the wonderful places we visited. I was very impressed! He was entertaining, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. I learned a lot about Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, history, exports, and how well the government takes care of the people here. My only suggestion is to be careful not to sound like propaganda. Some tourists might not like it very much.Written 18 January 2025

- Y6974VEmaya0 contributionsPenang shore excursion day tripWe were very disappointed. Wasn’t the tour we were expecting. Was self touring which we could done it way much cheaper than paying $99.00 US dollars. It was very expensive tour in Australian dollars cost us $315.00. It was a mistake decision to book this tour, didn’t enjoy it at all. Also weather was awful as well that made it worse. I don’t know why has a boat picture to confuse people? The communication was very bad too.Written 27 November 2024

On morning of trip was collected at appartment from a very kind man called kumpar..a very good tour guide from start to finished,very knowledgeable about all the areas in Cameron island. I would recommend this trip to anyone coming to KL..it will teach you the simplicity of living,and how different cultures survive on their own surroundings. Kumpar is a lovely person on that trip.Written 23 November 2024

We (family of 4) booked a trip through TripAdvisor to visit the recovery center. First of all: booking through TripAdvisor was very easy and we were well updated regularly. I also believe the price was competitive.
We did not know what to expect from this trip and worried about the distance from KL to the center. True, the trip is long (2x 3-4 hours), but it is well worth it. The local tour operator and driver were very professional, well informed and the car was specious for 4 tall adults).
Arriving at the ferry to the center, it looked a bit surreal: there is a large lakeside landing and infrastructure, but it was empty and there were almost no people. We took the ferry and once we arrived at the recovery center (group of around 10 persons), we got briefed by our tourguide. We walked in a cage tunnel complex (a reversed Zoo: the apes are free and we were in cages) to see the apes; we were allowed to help feeding them and got amazingly close by the orang utans. There are about 15 apes, including some cute young ones. Our tourguide explained what they do to return the apes back to the wild: most apes are abused animals, recovered from poachers or were used as pets. They all do this without any goverment funding and depend on private donations, struggling to get by.
So we really recommend to go on this tour through TripAdvisor, if you are not afraid of a 3-4 hour trip (both ways): go there and donate to the Urang Utan recovery center.
Also: on the way back to KL, you visit a nice Buddhist cave temple with huge Buddha's with a long climb to the top.

We had a amazing trip to see the Orang Utan And then stop on way home to see the temple at Perak Tong. The driver was excellent. It is highly recommended. Ask for “Wan” - he was our driver and excellent.

It was a great day out. A reasonably long drive at nearly four hours each way from The Federal in KL. The Oranga Tangs were great and was nice to here what the program is all about. It was shame our driver didn't speak much English but he certainly knew how to beat the traffic jams.

I’m a solo traveler and I wonder why I have to pay for 2 people. I mean I doubt there won’t be other people who want to book the tour on my dates. So how can I book the tour paying for just 1 person?
