What a fantastic morning! Pilot Prabaz met us at our hotel exactly on time and was the perfect guide. We went to Batu Caves which was such an interesting experience especially as there were Hindu pilgrims paying respects so a very special thing to see. Prabaz also took us to the mosque, the palace, little India and Chinatown. We saw some beautiful Hindu temples and learnt lots about KL and Malaysia.

Our guide Prabaz was the best. He was knowledgeable, funny, and flexible. We enjoyed him so much that we took another excursion with him two days later.

What an amazing time we have just spent with Jennifer. It has been a truly memorable and special experience. Jennifer is very friendly, professional, knowledgeable and accommodating. I would have no hesitation in recommending both her and this tour. There was a festival at the caves which I found totally mesmerising. The whole trip has made my birthday very special.
