Kuala Lumpur Tours - make the most of your trip
While Kuala Lumpur is a great city that can be explored on your own, some of its attractions are better discovered through guided tours. Joining organized tours or hiring your own personal tour guide can save you valuable time during your visit as he/she will know the best and quickest way to get to your destination. A personal tour guide will also be able share his or her local knowledge about the attractions you’re visiting as well as Kuala Lumpur itself. Regardless of how much time you have, or how little, hiring a private tour guide while in Kuala Lumpur will give you an insider’s perspective on this amazing city, its people and its culture.
With many types of tours available, try to choose a tour based not only on the time you have but also your own interests and comfort level. Some tours are more strenuous and can involve a lot of walking, while others are more relaxing. Most tour guides are helpful and will accommodate your needs, but if you have small children or older family members to take care of, it’s a good idea to check if the tours you’re interested in will be suitable for them.
If you only have several hours to spend in Kuala Lumpur, you might want to consider going on a half day tour. A half day tour will only last 4-5 hours but is extremely flexible as you get to choose from a list of the city’s diverse attractions. And if you’ve discovered a place where you’d like to spend more time at, your private tour guide would also be able to accommodate this easily.
If you have more time, you might consider going on the Fireflies Tour for a unique experience. While this tour starts in Kuala Lumpur, it’ll take you a little further outside of the city over the course of the day. And although it’s called the Fireflies Tour, this is somewhat of a misnomer as you’ll also get a chance to visit two additional attractions—the world famous Batu Caves, where you can gaze at the beautiful limestone caves, and Bukit Melawati in nearby Kuala Selangor city, where you’ll get a chance to feed and interact with the friendly Silvered Leaf Monkeys (Silvery Lutung). After a delicious dinner, you’ll move on to the Kampung Kuantan Fireflies Park, where you’ll be greeted by the flickering glow of fireflies dancing in the dark before heading back to Kuala Lumpur.
Do you have a taste for adventure instead? Then one of the most popular tours might be right up your alley. A day trip to Taman Negara National Park will bring you deep into the tropical rainforest, which bears the distinction of being the world’s oldest. You’ll enjoy an aerial view of the lush greenery and exotic wildlife thanks to a 400-meter long canopy walk. (Note: You might want to skip the canopy walk part of the tour if you have a strong fear of heights!)
While these tours may whet your appetite, sometimes the best thing that can meet your needs is a custom tour. This can be easily accomplished by letting your friendly tour guide know which attractions you’d like to visit. With a custom itinerary, you’ll get to visit all your favorite Kuala Lumpur attractions and end your trip knowing you’ve left no stone unturned.
