Communication for this tour was outstanding. Ease of hotel pickup A+. Raj our tour guide was friendly and informative. Batu caves were great fun & I enjoyed the monkeys. Batik silk cloth factory was lovely to visit and we did buy my husband a shirt from there.Unfortunately we didn't get to visit a chocolate shop or to see the pewter manufacturer as stated in the tour description. But that didn't at all takeaway the experience of climbing the Batu stairs. We would happily have Raj as a tour guide again.
