Booking my KLIA Ekspres ticket via Klook was quick and convenient. The QR code ticket made boarding seamless—no need for physical tickets or long queues. The train was clean, comfortable, and arrived on time, making my airport transfer stress-free. Highly recommend for travelers looking for a fast and efficient way to get to/from KLIA!

They were able to accommodate us well with the irregular mosque viewing times during Ramadan. Our driver, Johnny, was kind enough to take photos for us and tell us about recommended shopping and eating places. The guides were also very kind in telling us about each mosque, which was great!

It's been a long time since I last took a bus. Today, I had the chance to bring my family along to experience the joy of bus travel while admiring the breathtaking skyline of Kuala Lumpur’s modern skyscrapers. It was truly a spectacular sight!

I went there on Sunday, there were so many people and the queues were so long. If possible, I would avoid weekends and holidays. There were also so many people and long queues to change clothes.
