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.

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

  • The Harmonious Diversity of Malaysia

    Discover the religious sites of Kuala Lumpur with comfortable transfers from your hotel, followed by a serene drive in an air-conditioned vehicle on this half-day private tour. Pay a visit to the Batu Caves, a sought-after tourist attraction located in Selangor, and discover the three primary caves which feature temples and Hindu shrines. A strenuous but rewarding ascent up 272 steps yields breathtaking vistas of Kuala Lumpur's skyline and the tranquil temple, and catch sight of the Ramayana Cave showcasing paintings and representations of Hindu deities.

    A Melting Pot of Cultures

    Your next stop will be the National Mosque or Masjid Negara, which was erected between 1963 and 1965 to honor Malaysia's independence and occupies 13 acres of verdant landscape and exquisite gardens. Carry on your religious tour to the Thean Hou Temple, a shrine to the Goddess of mercy built by the Hainanese community, and learn from your guide about the 6-tiered pagoda construct. To relieve those hunger pangs, indulge in some local favorite dishes like laksa that you can buy from stalls operated by Malay, Indian, Bangladeshi, and Chinese traders, a true representation of the city's diverse culture.
