A good trip that saves you the trouble of taking the bus yourself. 1:30 hours should be enough for Batu Caves. Genting Highlands is a bit cold, so you can bring a light jacket.

We had a wonderful city tour with our driver and guide, Abdul Rahman. The ride around Kuala Lumpur was interesting from start to finish, he shared stories and insights that made us appreciate Malaysia’s rich history and culture at every stop, and even while just looking out the window. I learned so much from his local perspective! He also managed our schedule well and kept everyone on time, which is impressive given that it was a mixed group of different nationalities on a short 4-hour tour. Thank you, Abdul Rahman, for making the experience both informative and enjoyable!

This time, I joined Klook's Batu Caves and Genting Highlands tour with my parents. Our tour guide was Chandran, who is a very friendly and smiling person. During the trip, he provided us with excellent care and detailed explanations of the features of each attraction and things to pay attention to. The natural scenery of Batu Caves and the amusement facilities of Genting Highlands were eye-opening for us. Thank you again to Chandran, he really, really is a very good and responsible tour guide.

A very delicious vegetarian restaurant. Buying meal vouchers is very cost-effective. It's open until 10:30 PM, which is great for tourists. It's conveniently located near the hotel, only a 5-minute walk. It was perfect for my vegetarian friend to have a meal. They are also very friendly when you use the vouchers and don't give you attitude. There is a diverse selection of food, and the taste is good.
