Although we just buy the skipmthr line tickets n no guide but it is easy to scan the tickets from One Asia without long queue. A little miscommunication when I didn't understand how to redeem ticket after payment n booking. But email and Whatsup to One Asia directly is very quick action to answer my confuse. Thank you One Asia n Klook. Will use another type of tour using Klook in another around the world.
