Driver was waiting for us just ahead of the time advised. Driver took us through Malaysia immigration seamlessly and we then picked up the tour guide.
There were so many positives about the trip.
Went to Malacca first and this was very interesting. We then had a lovely breakfast in the Hilton.
We then went on to Putrajaya before heading to Kuala Lumpur.
The roads were gridlocked with traffic and we missed a number of the sights. We didn’t go to the KLCC Park, but did get photos of the Petronas Towers from the roadside.
The company really should have advised us that our tour was booked during a school holiday and the weekend traffic was beyond that expected. We had to get out and walk to Batu Caves as the cars were not moving.
The traffic sadly caused us a lot of delays and missed opportunities.
The guide did mention that weekend traffic can be bad, so please try and go on a weekday and research public holidays in Malaysia before booking.
We had a lovely buffet lunch at the KL 360 Tower before we started to head back to Singapore.
We left at 5pm and got back to our hotel after 1am. An 8 hour car journey ????.
Our poor driver was with us all day and had to drive back to Malaysia after dropping us off. He must have done a 24 hour day.
We dropped the guide back off at his house on the way back to Singapore. The driver once again dealt with immigration and the queues were very long.
I would 100% recommend this trip and would go again but with hindsight I would have gone on a weekday so I could have enjoyed all the sights.
Driver Kreesh is a legend and our guide I thought he said Simon (but could be wrong) was lovely.
