The driver was very punctual and also introduced the scenic spots he passed along the way. The stop time was enough for us to stay from 13:00 to 19:00.

Our trip to Aquaria was a mix of excitement and peaceful moments. The highlight for me was the stingrays; they were mesmerizing to watch!

I would highly recommend the hop on hop off bus to see the city of KL. We spent the day mostly on the Garden route, with central market, bird park and Merdeka Square being some favourites. If you sit outside on the top, it is a little harder to hear the tour guide over the speakers.
