This tour was well arranged by our tour guide Indran. He first drove us to the Batu cave and explained every interesting point along the way and the cave. Suggested to us to take our time to observe and enjoy the sacre cave. The pewter factory is a must see. It feels more like an art gallery in my opinion. Other places are very interesting as well plus guided by a knowledgeable and professional tour guide is an icing on the cake to complete the tour.

Our driver was great. It was us and two others in our group. The driver gave local history and told about the areas and buildings we were passing as we drove to each location. The pewter factory was fantastic. Would have loved to had time to go back for a workshop to make my own pewter price. Next the batik factory. My husband was not looking forward to this stop but actually enjoyed it. We met an artist working on a piece. My husband bought a shirt and we bought handkerchiefs for gifts. The last stop - Batu Caves. It started raining as we left the batik factory but our driver was prepared and have umbrellas for everyone. The grounds were very busy even with the weather but we made it up the stairs and had a great time looking around. As we were leaving a few monkeys came out so we also got to see them. Each stop was 30 minutes. I thought we would feel rushed but actually it was a decent amount of time. Our driver even offered to drop us and the other two off at a location different than our pick up spot so we were able to grab dinner. Great day and great driver. He was able to pack a lot in in 3 1/2 hours.
