2D, 1N KL City Tour with Batu Caves and Genting Highlands
We are 5 people (includes 2 kids and 3 adults), had a great 2D and 1N private tour with Kuala Lumpur Tour operated by Mr. Sarawanan. Had a great experience and we recommend him 100% for your next trip. We arrived KLIA by 8.20 am and after immigration the driver Mr. Hema is already waiting for us. We would like to treat Mr. Hema as a friend/guide and not a driver. He is a very good knowledgeable guy who can help you with everything that you ask. We finished our city tour in 4 hours and later he helped us to check-in with our hotel located at Bricksfield. (City Central Hotel). I will mention separately regarding our stay in a separate post. It's worth to stay at Hotel City Central. Decent stay with family. after check-in, we finished our Day 1 lunch and had some rest. later he came around 5 pm and from hotel we went to Fire-flies tour and It was an amazing experience and my friend's daughter enjoyed very well with the speedboat ride and the fire-flies in dark. Later we came back to the city and had a night vision of the city along with twin towers. Mr. Sarawanan allowed us to have a special visit at twin towers at night as we requested for the 2nd time and he arranged the same without any extra charge. Around 11 pm we are back at the hotel. Day2, after breakfast we started with Batu caves tour by 9 am and Its an amazing experience to had a great darshan at lord Subramanya Swamy and had some good photography. Around 11.30 am we started from Batu caves to Genting and Mr. Hema left us for Cable car ride towards Genting. The ride between Batu and Genting is a wonderful sightseeing experience with some Ghat road and few passing clouds. We were halted at Chin Swee temple for 1 hr to take good photos. Later we were moved to genting with the same cable car ticket and there we spend some good time and come back to the airport with a lot of good memories. We recommend Sara, if your next trip to KL is with Sara, please ask him to assign Mr. Hema as your driver and car is also very good and he will help you on what you ask. Mr. Sarawanan is a perfect planner. You just need to tell him your arrival and departure. That's it. Rest all leave him to plan. He can suggest the rest of things with time slots.

Batu Cave Tour
Overall I was very pleased with my tour experience. I visited the Batu Caves with my family, and our guide arrived at our hotel on time. He was quite pleasant and spoke English very well. Along the way to the cave he provided details about the city and was very knowledgeable, Overall I could not have asked for a more pleasant experience and recommended them for this attraction.

City Tour with Batu Cave and Fireflies Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kuala Lumpur.
How much does City Tour with Batu Cave and Fireflies Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $110 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kuala Lumpur usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does City Tour with Batu Cave and Fireflies Tour take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kuala Lumpur is not rushed.
Is City Tour with Batu Cave and Fireflies Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kuala Lumpur, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule City Tour with Batu Cave and Fireflies Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is City Tour with Batu Cave and Fireflies Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book City Tour with Batu Cave and Fireflies Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kuala Lumpur can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kuala Lumpur and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does City Tour with Batu Cave and Fireflies Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kuala Lumpur within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kuala Lumpur?
+
On Outty we rank every Kuala Lumpur experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Genting Highland & Batu Cave Guided Day Tour (SIC/Shared Tour), Kuala Lumpur Grand Full Day Guided Tour with 25 Attractions (SIC), Kuala Lumpur Suburbs Batu Caves Half-Day Tour (SIC/Shared Tour). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kuala Lumpur?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kuala Lumpur?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
