Not worth the money

We did a 4 hour private tour with a guide. It was OK. We didn’t visit everything that was stated on the itinerary. I thought it was expensive for what it was..

Great guide opened wonders of Kuala Lumpur

Spend an most enjoyable morning with Mr. Ramesh walking the centre of Kuala Lumpur. We had visited KL before but Mr. Ramesh took us around the city explaining the many diverse cultural and historic dimensions of the city. Our guide always took care with us when crossing the busy streets, also checked to make sure the walking pace was comfortable and stopped for drinks and snacks. It was a pleasure to walk with Mr. Ramesh who prefers to be called Gerry or Gerald. Ask for him if you’re visiting KL.

It felt like a scam

We booked a city tour with private guide to take us for a half day city Tour in Kula Lumpur but we were really surprised to see a taxi showing up at the front desk of our hotel.The taxi was nice but he just drove us around without knowledge of the area and asking us where we wanted to go.The experience was disappointing and not conform to the description so we decided to cut it short and come back home half way through.This seems more like a scam to me as we could have use a grab for a tenth of the price instead of using Viator.I won't use your services again as there is no value added and no delivery on the promise..

Good tour, took me around all the major...

Good tour, took me around all the major sights in the city. My only gripe was that the guide didnt come with me when I went to look at places he stayed in the car while I went and looked around. This wasnt super helpful, as sometimes you have a question that you want to ask them about the place while youre there, but you have to wait until you get back to the car by which time I sometimes forgot what the question was!. Also, as someone travelling solo, its nice when the guide accompanies you so that they can take photos for you if you want...
