Malaysia Travel Blog: Discover Amazing Kuala Lumpur City Tour

Kuala Lumpur Travel Blog: Part 4

Kuala Lumpur Full-Day City Tour – Part 1

On the 18th of December 2018, my first full day in Malaysia was scheduled to start with the Discover Amazing Kuala Lumpur City Tour. The tour starts at 9, but I was expected to be at the Malaysia Tourism Centre (MaTic), No. 109, Jalan Ampang by 8:45 AM.

I took a taxi from the hotel to reach the Malaysia Tourism Centre. The Uber version of a taxi was called Grab. I had to install the app the night before, as Uber no longer operated in Malaysia. It was morning rush hour with moderate traffic.

After reaching the destination, I got a little confused because the Malaysia Tourism Centre was a big area and I was not sure exactly where to wait for my guide. I went inside the building and asked a few people I saw. They pointed me to a spot outside the building, but within the boundaries to wait.

After waiting for a while, the guide appeared. He directed me to the tour car we would be using for the tour. It seemed like I was the only one on this tour – not a bad thing.

The Discover Amazing Kuala Lumpur City Tour was a full-day, six-hour tour which would cover contemporary and ancient attractions in the greater Kuala Lumpur. We would be visiting the Petronas Twin Tower, the Batu Caves, Royal Selangor pewter factory, KL City Gallery, and the National Mosque.
