Kevin, our driver and tour guide, was very knowledgeable and informative. He was very easy to talk with. He was able to go through all our itinerary except the memorial which was under maintenance. He was very clear with his instructions particularly on the pick-up time when he dropped us off in a certain location. This tour was very worth it to tour KL in just a day. It was also a great deal as it has KL Tower ticket included in it. Definitely a recommend tour.

KL Tower is really beautiful in the morning/afternoon! Paid for the addition viewing box for photo taking and the photo turns out to be perfect!

Everything is good for its price. You can also request for an early check-in for an additional fee as long as the room is already available.

smooth and quick. added the QR code to Apple wallet and it worked flawlessly. cost less for a single traveller to travel from KLIA to city compare to taking taxi.

Buying a pass is really more cost-effective than buying individual itineraries. There are about 25 attractions that you can freely choose from. If you want to go to Sunway Lagoon, remember to choose to purchase it.
