I recently took a tour with this guide, and it was a fantastic experience. He was not only friendly and approachable but also incredibly knowledgeable about the history of each place we visited. His passion for the subject really shone through, making the tour both engaging and informative. I highly recommend this guide for anyone looking to delve into the history of the area with someone who truly knows their stuff.

Going to KLIA takes less than 30 min. Make sure you know which terminal to alight, it will stop by Terminal 1 first and than Terminal 2. There's a compartment for your luggage, so huge pieces of luggage is not an issue. If you're taking Grab to KL Sentral, get off at the departure hall, the gentry is right there to the right. Scan the qr code on your klook app and you're ready to go.

First time here for premium plus head spa. My experience is just WOW. The staffs are really nice, easygoing, accommodating, friendly and attentive from reservation till the end of service. The head massage is rly good and relaxing as well. The only thing is premium plus got hair treatment and steaming but I can’t rly feel the difference on my hair. Anyway, overall great experience and will definitely recommend this salon. 💯👍🏼👏🏻
