We booked a full day KL tour with Klook - Ivy Holiday Kuala Lumpur. Our Tour Guide, Mr Melvin and it was the best decision of our trip! In just one day, we managed to visit 25 places - from Batu Caves to Merdeka Square, Notional Mosque, River of Life, KL Tower, and Petronas Towers. Mr Melvin was punctual, very friendly, and full of interesting stories about KL. He knew the best photo spots and the best time to avoid crowds. As a couple travelling, we felt very safe and comfortable the whole day. We laughed a lot, learned a lot, and came back with so many beautiful memories & Shopping. Thank you Mr Melvin for a very enjoyable trip! We will definitely recommend Mr Melvin & Klook - Ivy Holiday Kuala Lumpur to our friends and family.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A beautiful and peaceful destination with stunning architecture and well-maintained surroundings. We enjoyed visiting the iconic landmarks and taking in the scenic views around Putrajaya. It was a relaxing experience and a great addition to our Kuala Lumpur trip.

We opted for the 10 hour tour and our driver Benny picked us up at our hotel right after we had our lunch. Benny was very friendly, patient and helpful. He took many pictures for us, even digitally removing the crowd from the background for some pics. After Batu cave and some other sights, we had yummy seafood dinner. there we caught sight of mudskippers and monitor lizards at lowtide next to the seafood place. We ended the day on a speedboat, watching eagles feeding, then the fireflies and finally enjoying the “blue tears” effect as we stirred the waters with nets

Great 4.0
This is a tour where the driver takes you to your destination, and you are free to do your own sightseeing. The driver explained Batu Caves using Google Translate. The driver does not get out of the car to act as a tour guide; they are strictly a driver. If you want a guided tour, it's better to choose a different option. We enjoyed being able to explore freely. While many places were just for taking photos and moving on, it was great because it would have been difficult to visit all these spots on our own. Lunch was not included, and when we said we wanted to eat, we were dropped off in front of an upscale Chinese restaurant. We were nervous about the prices, so we went to a local eatery nearby instead. Communicating through gestures, we enjoyed a local meal, which was a good experience. Finally, we got to visit the Pink Mosque in Putrajaya, and we thoroughly enjoyed this packed tour.

We enjoyed this private tour as a family!!! Johan, our driver/guide, was very friendly and he also made sure that we are well oriented of the tourist spots we visited by discussing it to us. Highly recommended for families who want a more relaxed schedule.

Everything was great. It would have been even better if the price for the private tour for two people was a little more affordable.

This was a nice private tour around KL. Uncle Adam was our tour guide and driver and he did an amazing job explaining the history of the places we visited. We got to know more about KL and Malaysia as a whole just by listening to his stories. It would have been different if we were just led to the destinations for picture taking so it is nice to have a guide like uncle Adam. The places we went to were all awesome. To end the trip, we went to Jadi Batik for some painting. We took our paintings as souvenir. 5/5
