First, the good side. The tour carefully select the places we are going to visit. There are two more Buddhist temples, besides Kek Lok Si, to visit in the tour. One is a Thai styl tmeple. The other Burma style . But Kek Lok Si is the main one and rightly so.You do need a car to go up to the main temple. This is a plus.Then we visited The Chew pier before we visit the other main site, the Khoo Kongsi.This sis a lavish community hall of the Khoo clan and is very worth visiting. The guide , Ah Shing, explained reasonably well and is also quite attentive to our need, eg he would start the car earlier so that it is cool down a bit in this hot weather.Howeer, there are four things that the tour need to improve. First, it should arrange a brief lunch. It is unreasonable to expect one could last from 10am to 3 pm without eating something. Second, a bottle of water should bee provided . Simple thing, I know. But it is not done.Third. Given the importance of Buddhism in the local history, I feel the guide do not know enough in this area. Fourth,the wall painting sites are all passed by without opportunity to take photos.

the elephant santuary is a bit far out of KL, but if you can go there it is worth with, it is not a zoo but a real place where they rescue elephants, so your fee is actually going to do some good . batu cave is nice , close to town, well worth it, and not expensive, which is good cause a lot of places in KL are ripping off tourists

My partner and I did the private 1/2 heritage and food walking tour of KL with Sean. We loved it! Sean is an extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable guide. We learned a lot from him and felt very comfortable asking questions. He is clearly passionate about preserving KL’s incredible heritage and should be commended for this! It was great to see him interacting with all the local restauranteurs and shop owners we visited along the way. The tour provides excellent insight into all different aspects of Malaysian culture. Highly recommended! Don’t eat beforehand as you’ll be given the chance to try a lot of food and you won’t want to miss out! I also did this tour about six years ago in a bigger group as a solo traveller and loved it then too!
