Pick up was from Berjaya Times Square instead of your hotel. There were regular updates from the tour company and clear communication. On the way back, we stopped at a batik shop and there was an option to alight at KLCC. Our guide Wilson’s sharing was informative.
It was ok, instructions were given in WhatsApp on where to meet and bus number etc. it was a weekend and the tour started at the Batik Factory and thereafter was to Batu Caves. Tour ended at 1145am, we were dropped off at the meeting point.
Enjoyed the trip to Batu Caves. Recommend to plan if you can as part of you itinerary. The tour guide Sasi was great. Very informative - got to know a lot.
Making the booking online was easy with Pelago. I was able to get assistance via their online chat and the customer service staff was very helpful. This half day tour itself was short but adequate and itinerary was as per description. The English speaking tour guide communicated well.
Fantastic. Raj the tour guide is so informative and well organized. Highly recommended.
It was nice trip and guide & driver were excellent.
