Jennifer was absolutely a fantastic tour guide showing me around Kuala Lumpur and was very accommodating as I had already seen some sight and made some slight changes to the tour so that I was able to see other places that I hadn't seen before. Highly recommended this tour

This was not a tour trip but a one way drop off trip from KL to Cameron Highlands with Mr Sathesh. Although this was not a tour, Mr Sathesh was very polite courteous and informative . Would recommend.

Our final adventure with Sathia, and wow—what a way to wrap things up! After two epic days, we didn’t think she could top it, but of course, she did. First stop: The Military Museum at Port Dickson. Who knew history could be this cool? Sathia brought the past to life with her stories, making us feel like we were on a time-traveling mission. Tanks, tunnels, and tales of heroism—definitely not your average museum visit! After feeling all strategic and heroic, we hit the beach for some well-deserved playtime. Sun, sand, and laughter—what more could we ask for? (Besides maybe more time!) Then came the grand finale: a breathtaking sunset cruise. Picture this—calm waters, golden skies, and the perfect ocean breeze. Sathia, as always, made sure everything was smooth sailing (literally!), making it the most magical moment of the trip. And just when we thought it was over, we wrapped up with an incredible seafood dinner—because no great adventure ends on an empty stomach! Three days with Sathia, and we’ve laughed, learned, explored, and made memories that will last a lifetime. She’s not just a guide—she’s a storyteller, an adventure planner, and an all-around legend. Sathia, you’ve officially spoiled us for all future trips. Thank you for the best time ever!

Just took the full day private tour of Kuala Lumpur with visits to Batu Caves, Thean Hou Temple, National Monument, Istana Negara, National Mosque, Independence Square and Petronas Twin Towers and had an awesome day. Sathesh was the best guide you could imagine. Very knowledgeable, always smiling, top photographer and with lots of interesting facts about Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the heritage , religions and the culture. He always asked about our preferences and set up the tour to our likings. We made some amazing and everlasting memories and are still overwhelmed by all the impressions. Thanks again Sathesh for a fantastic day in Kuala Lumpur.
