The tour guide [CK TAN] started to contact us and patiently explained the itinerary before departure. He used his experience to help arrange a full day of travel. Sure enough, the journey was smooth without traffic jams or rainy days. He chatted with us on the way and explained every bit of Malaysia. We were lucky to meet the tour guide CK, who gave us a rich day trip 😀

This half day tour is a relaxed & good efficient way to quickly explore some interesting, religious, and historical sites in and around the city. Even with the Join In tour, our group was nontheless able to visit several spots with sufficient time. The driver/guide Maiden was on time during pick-up, was courteous throughout the tour, and was very informative. He gave us a short insight & historical background on every stop from the itinerary, and pointed out food places which we may consider visiting during the rest of our stay in KL.
