2.Cultural and Nature Escape: Batu Caves, Waterfalls & Hot Springs

Guides such as Mr Mutah, Raja, Rayhan and Aris have been praised for clear explanations, though the hot spring and guide quality can vary.

“We had a great day with our driver Raja. As there were only the two of us and the driver the trip was informal, extremely informative and very enjoyable. I would highly recommend using Viator, especially if you are only in Kuala Lumpur on a stopover as time is tight when it comes to seeing what the area has to offer, but it's great value for any visitor as it includes transport, a meal and a way of learning a little bit about the places and the people.”
