Basically this tour is a taxi for a half day - there are some good explanations from the driver which is appreciated but the time schedule for the trip does not hold. For this reason we were only able to see the mosque from the outside. No entrance fees are needed for this trip so consider to do the tour on your own with a private driver - probably not more expensive.Dioni

Our tour did not get off to a good start. Despite having a confirmed private tour, the guide did not turn up. I tried contacting the team via the live chat system and could not get through. I tried emailing with no response. Eventually I had to make an international phone call ( likely expensive) to speak to someone and get the tour organised. Eventually a new guide was organised for more than 2 hours after the planned time. We wasted time going to the mosque when it was closed for prayers, meaning we had to return later. The guide did not realise we'd paid for lunch, dropping us to the market and then reimbursing us 25 ringgit each after we paid for our lunches. There was no real guiding- just driving. There was no time to visit China town as planned. The sites were interesting to see but I was very disappointed with the disorganisation. I do not think it was the driver's fault. He stayed 30 minutes longer than his scheduled time so we could re-visit the mosque. I am not sure I'd recommend the tour based on our experience.Mr
