What people are saying about Kuala Lumpur

A great active day out of the city. The long trip and early morning start is absolutely fine with the comfortable bus (3 big seats per row). I had an extra service for special pick-up - thanks team for organizing. The jungle tour was rather a hike - be prepared for some steps to climb to enjoy the views. Interesting stop with some activities at the tribal village to add the local culture flavour. Absolute highlight was the boat trips - fun and refreshing, soaked to the bone. The guides were really friendly and supportive.

We went to Kuala Selangor with Mr Raja, always the best driver and the nicest guide! We had a great time with him, super kind and he explained us all the things and made sure we have a happy time :) Perfect! Going there we stopped to see and feed the silver leaves monkeys, so fun :) and then we also stopped in Kuala Selangor to see some beautiful wall art. We had a really delicious seafood dinner in a restaurant on the river and then we went to see the fireflies with the boat! Sooo nice! Happy of this trip! Five stars :)

We went to Putrajaya with Mr Abdul Rahman, a very nice driver and guide. He explained us a lot of things about what we were seeing and showed us beautiful spots! :) Very nice also the boat trip on the lake around the huge beautiful pink mosque. Nice hours to spend, I suggest everyone!
