Cheaper ways to get to caves.only 1 hour there then we were herded to a disgusting dirty run down pewter factory._br/_ Not worth the $$ but the caves are amazing. I would suggest investigating alt ways of getting to caves and save you $$

Good: they contacted us beforehand and driver was waiting us in the hotel on time. He told a few things about the buildings on the way and was open to answer questions._br/_ Bad: we were dropped at Batu Caves to discover the place on our own - this is not a guided tour, rather just a transfer to and back :_br/_ Also we had to wait about an hour for fellow travelers, not their fault, but should be prepared for these situations - our driver did not have their mobile number to reach them and by the time he managed to get some directions from the office an hour passed and they appeared. Quite annoying if you have 2 days only in KL with two kids...

Unfortunately the tour was bad. The driver was very nice, and tried his best, but the concept of the tour is terrible. First they sell you to some shops you have to visit, then only an hour at Batu Caves. For the dark cave tour there is no time, what was the the most special thing in Kuala Lumpur for me. I ended up not taking the drive home, and noticed that a taxi is only 5 USD and you don't have to visit their shops. Also you first get collected from a minibus for an hour, then resend to another car. So out of of 20 min one-way journey, there becomes a 2 hour one-way journey... However, the driver was very nice and friendly, and did a good job.

Your bus picked me up at my hotel despite last minute booking, the guide was friendly and helpful and bus air conditioned. When we made it to Batu caves we were given time to explore on our own.

Great tour, picked up from our hotel taken to the caves and you have plenty of time to wonder yourself, would be nice to have a guide inside to explain a few things but I don’t think that’s what they do here. But still enjoyed it all the same. We visited a Nice textile shop afterwards too.

Would not pick me up the hotel that was on the list. Said it was too far. Hilton KL. One hour at the cave. Rest of the time was being sent to two shopping locations so someone could get a kickback. My advise is to take the KL Monorail. It goes directly to the caves. Less than $3 USD.

The tour is basically the driver taking you to a few places and you’re on your own. Batu Caves was amazing, especially if you love monkeys!

CHOOSE ANOTHER TOUR_br/_ This tour is nothing other than an expensive mini bus ride. The guide, Hema, just drove us to the caves and the batic shop. He didnt go with us and provided no guiding of any sort. The pewter factory was left out all together.

The tour guide didn't do much besides drive us from place to place. We only stayed at the caves for 45 mins or so. Rest of the time was spent at stores.

The caves are worth seeing. Great tour!

it was an good half a day trip, our driver was very informative and the best part was that there were only 3 of us, so it felt more like a private tour complete value for money.

Unless you want to go to the Pewter Factory or the Bartik Factory then don't bother doing this tour. _br/_ You can easily catch the LRT to the Batu Caves and the Caves are free, if you go on your own you'll have plenty of time to spend at the caves._br/_ Negatives: Not enough information about where meet for the tour. The tour starts at 9am, we didn't leave the departure point until 10.15am due to disorganization of all the tours that were leaving from the same point. Our name wasn't on any tour list even though we'd paid and confirmed the day before. The Tour Guide was late and he never really gave us a tour as such, especially at the Batu Caves. No information at all about the caves just said meet back at the bus in 50min. 50min isn't enough time if you want to look at all the caves and surrounds. There's a dark cave where you can go down into the caves with hard hats etc, there was no information about this and no time to do it anyway. The Pewter Factory is good but the tour through the factory was far too rushed and then we didn't have enough time to look at the products to buy, we felt like the bus might leave without us! Half day tour that went from 9am-2.30pm?? Certainly not good use of valuable holiday time._br/_ Positives: The bus was nice, people at MATic were helpful, we were put onto a tour list even though our name wasn't on any of their lists, they dropped us at the Hard Rock café rather than our Hotel at our request, although it probably would have take another 45min to get to our Hotel anyway

Worth doing if visiting KL but is only a tenner taxi ride away with cheap entry tickets so probably just as easier and certainly cheaper to sort yourself.

the tour guide was great. he know a lot about the caves as well as the Hindu religiton. the tour group communication was excellent - which would have made me nervous since I was alone and in Kuala Lumpur. One point I'd like to make is that I had to rent a scarf to cover up my knees. they would not let me climb up the stairs with my knees showing - although I saw many men in short. it would have been great had the tour group told me this in advance.

The English spoken by the guide wasn't that comprehensive even though he was a nice man. Overall the tour and timing were nice and enjoyable.

A beautiful and historic destination. Keep an eye on your belongings with the monkeys around. The monkeys are seemingly far more aware and intelligent than many of the people who visit. I knew Charles Darwin was right.
