Breathtaking Batu Caves & Countryside: KL Cultural Escape

The Batu Caves are amazing on several levels: the geology and natural beauty of caves, the cultural meaning, the monkeys.....and the challenge of the stairs. It was great fun!

Fabulous day, loved the tour of Pewter factory, really interesting! Batik was also great. Batu caves and Kaching waterfalls very hot but worthwhile. Rajah was very informative and hospitable.

Enjoyed local stops and learning of history and culture of Malaysia but star of show was Batu caves which was stunning. He didn’t ask us to mention him but our guide Rajan was brilliant. Many many monkeys at the caves and more at waterfalls but they were not aggressive and moved out of ur way if approached

Our tour to Royal Selangor and Batu Caves was such a great experience. Right from the beginning, we got to learn so much about Malaysia’s history. One of the best parts was visiting the Royal Selangor Visitor Centre. We saw how pewter is made and looked at some really beautiful pieces. It was both fun and interesting. Batu Caves was just as amazing. The giant golden statue of Lord Murugan, the tall staircase, and the Hindu temples built into the caves were all so impressive. We also saw lots of monkeys running around, which made the trip even more fun and memorable. We also want to give a big thank you to our guide, Rajan. He was awesome. He picked us up on time, made sure we had water and felt comfortable all day, and really went out of his way to help us. He knew so much about Malaysia’s history and shared so many cool facts. He even stopped at a special spot so we could take a great photo of the city. This tour was one of the best parts of our trip. Thank you, Rajan, for making it so special!

The sights were incredible, but this tour was altogether pretty bad. There was no communication from the operator on when to expect pickup from the hotel and no one returned my calls or messages. At the end, on the day of I called Tripadvisor to just cancel the booking. Ultimately, 20 min before start time the guide texted me back finally to let me know he was on his way (according to the others on the tour, this happened to them as well). The tour guide was more of a driver than an actual tour guide, and was not very friendly nor informational — when we got to each location he just dropped us off and left us to join tours run by personnel on-site. At Batu Caves there was no tour at all; we were just dropped off across the highway and told to walk over and walk back in an hour. Overall, while I appreciate getting chauffeured to each spot, if you actually want a tour, this is not it.

Our driver Rayhan Raj Naidu was a great communicator prior to our tour ensuring that we were ready for our pick up. He messaged the day before with all the details and he was at our hotel pick up on time / early. The water in the car was appreciated. The visit to Batu caves exceeded our expectations- our driver gave us plenty of time to explore on our own. Once back in the car we visited the batik handicrafts which was interesting and the had a wide range of products at good prices to buy. The Royal Selangor tour was very interesting and after we had time to relax in the cafe which was lovely and cool with good rest rooms. We combined our tour with the firefly tour which was a great experience also. A long day but worth it!Our driver was very personable , knowledgeable. Thanks so much for a great tour.

Albinhar “Al” was an incredible tour guide. The car was clean and we felt super safe. Al was very knowledgeable, firendly, flexible with our schedule and requests, fun and professional greeted us in time. It was an easy booking expertise ce and affordable!

“Al” was an excellent guide! Right on time to pick us up, great communication ahead of time. Pewter factory tour was surprisingly impressive! Had to buy some batik dresses for my wife, and the caves were amazing! Definitely recommend!!!

Great and relaxed tour. The guide Rayhan Raj Naidu did a great job not overwhelming with information but giving us insights about the place. It was nice to explore the caves by myself and experience the atmosphere of the temples.

Wow what an amazing day. Our guide Reuben was great, full of knowledge , learnt so much about everywhere we visited. Batu caves were incredible , a must do in Malay. The hot springs were so HOT! The water fall was beautiful. The visit to the tin factory was a wonderful experience learnt so much, thank you Reuben for making our experience so much more than we expected.
