Great people... lots of time in most places - could have coped with more time (of course).. Loved learning about pewter and batik... Batu Caves were AMAZING.. Guide was excellent, but hard to hear sometimes... but all in all brilliant

I was impressed with the size and beauty of the statue that impose its serene and majestic aura. The monastic blessing is a necessary step on your preparation to climb the steps that leads to the cave. Amidst people and all sorts of monkey personalities the climbing experience will be a beautiful memory to cherish for the rest of your life. It is definitely a site to visit in Kuala Lumpur.

This was a great tour. Our guide, Guna, was really informative. The best guide of all our tours.

Where do I start. We booked for the morning pickup and waited outside our hotel from 8:30 to 9:45 when I eventually called them to find out what was happening. They then said the driver was there to collect us but we weren't waiting so they left. NO DRIVER OR GUIDE EVER ARRIVED! Then we got moved to the afternoon tour which was ok...underwhelming to say the least. First stop the Pewter factory (not a bad stop but just a ploy to try sell you something). Then you go to some little warehouse where they show you how to fold a scarf... this part of the tour is absolutely pointless... Then we finally get to what is meant to be the highlight of the tour and everything at BATU caves is under tarpaulin being renovated so you walk up the steps look in the cave and thats it. All shrines and temples are covered up so its not even photo worthy... rather pay a GRAB driver to take you and drop you off. You will save time and money>

Caves were a great experience and must see when visiting KL. There's 272 steps to get to the top. Make sure you wear something that covers your knees or you can also borrow a cover for 5 RM and then you get 2 RM back when you return it. Once you get to the top, there's a temple. A lot of monkeys on the way. Since this is a group tour, you'll have to have a lot of patience. We rode in a coach bus with a lot of people. There were two stops before the caves. One was the Pewter factory. That was interesting to walk through and the other was a fabric factory. That one I can skip. The reason why you'll have to have patience is because there will be people who take a little more time at each stop. If you're not interested, you'll still have to wait. We were hoping to make it back in time for another toured we had scheduled but we ended up being late because there's a lot of sitting around waiting. We only spent about 45 minutes at the caves which was supposed to be the highlight of the tour. No fault to our guide since he was just doing his job and taking us where he was supposed to. If you really want to spend time at the cave and not have to waste your time waiting around, I suggest you take a taxi. Caves are free.
