    Jennifer was absolutely a fantastic tour guide showing me around Kuala Lumpur and was very accommodating as I had already seen some sight and made some slight changes to the tour so that I was able to see other places that I hadn't seen before. Highly recommended this tour

    The guide could have informed us more . He did not accompany us into Batu Caves. He did not accompany us to the waterfalls. I feel he could have told us about what we were driving past on our journey.
