WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Merdeka Square
After pickup from your centrally located hotel in Kuala Lumpur, travel by air-conditioned minivan to the first stop on your half-day tour: Merdeka Square. Also called Independence Square, this symbol of Malaysian independence is one of the most picturesque squares in the world
2. Istana Negara
Admire both traditional and modern architectural masterpieces before moving on to the King’s Palace. Known as Istana Negara, this residence of the King of Malaysia doesn't allow visitor access inside the building, but you can take photos of the exterior along with the changing of the guards, which occurs hourly.
3. Petronas Twin Towers
The Petronas Twin Towers are an ideal place for photo ops; gaze at the city skyline and capture unforgettable moments on camera. (Photo stop only, admission not included)
4. National Mosque (Masjid Negara)
Contrast your visit to these glass and steel marvels with the National Mosque (Masjid Negara), located in the heart of the city amid lush green gardens. Built in 1965, it is one of the most elegant buildings in KL and features a spectacular main dome covered in green and blue tiles, along with 48 smaller domes spread across the Mecca-inspired courtyard.
5. Thean Hou Temple
Next up is the Chinese Thean Hou Temple. Learn about the synergy of influences such as Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism that converge to form an unforgettable architectural ensemble. Checkout out numerous statues of animals from astrology and impressive statues of the Goddess of Mercy and the Goddess of the Waterfront.
6. Perdana Botanical Garden
Stop by the tranquil Lake Gardens
7. National Museum
the National Museum — home to collections of ancient and modern art pieces, weapons, and traditional costumes
8. Malayan Railway Administration Building
and the exquisite façade of the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station with its fairytale-like towers and mix of Eastern and Western architectural styles.
9. National Monument
Finish at the National Monument (Tugu Negara), a bronze tribute to the lives that were lost in the fight for Malaysian independence, designed by American architect Felix de Weldon. At the end of the tour you’ll be taken back to the starting point.
10. Asni Experiences

Our driver took us to many sites around the city, starting with a temple and other stops included the war memorial complex, the Royal Palace, a large mosque, Old colonial era buildings, the river of life where KL was founded and a batik shop. He clearly knows a lot of the history of the area, and although I may not remember a lot of the detail I certainly like hearing about it

The trip was nothing more than a taxi service. The guide - if I can call him that - got out of the car only once - to talk to other drivers. He said it was too hot for him. We had to ask him numerous questions since he wouldn't really say anything by himself. It's a shame since he had good English and seemed to be knowledgeable. Our trip was pretty much just driving around, and him pointing fingers, saying go there. We had to ask what was there and what to see because he wouldn't say on his own.
Also, the driver would tell us (when pushed) about nice places, but each time he would say, "there are a lot of Muslims there", or "there are not many Muslims there" - When asked about that he said he didn't want to go in to politics.
It was a major disappointment, especially since the trip seemed nicely planned.

We enjoyed our Half Day Kuala Lumpur tour. We visited many sites including the Chinese Thean House Temple, Istana Negara (presidential palace), National Monument, and the Petronas Twin Towers. Having a private guide definitely was the way to go.

Unfortunately It was more of the taxi ride than a tour . The information shared about the City was a minimum and only based on our questions , the driver even was a nice guy his English was very limited and was absolutely not a guide in pure meaning of the word. I did already such tours in other places in the world and I have to admit this one was the lowest quality.

The places we visited were all the most important tourist landmarks in KL
Our driver’s English was poor and couldn’t tell us much about the sights and facts about the city

We were driven around the sites rather than guided. We explored the sites ourselves and understand that our driver wasn't well on the day which was no doubt tough for him and we are grateful to have met him. He navigated well and drove us between the sites, pointing out those we didn't stop by however there wasn't much history or context to anything. Highlights were going inside the national mosque and the Chinese temple. The batik shop and workshop visit was a short stop and interesting with no pressure to buy anything.

The tour assistant, Mr Lawrence did a good job. He is very experienced local tour agent, both empirically and historically. I was so fascinated by his vasatility of the ethnoreligious contexts of Malaysia. Overall, Mr Lawrence made the tour a worthwhile experience.
