About This Activity
Discover the highlights of Kuala Lumpur on a tour ideal for those on transit from the seaport and with less than a day to explore the city. The tour starts with a pickup from the cruise terminal at Port Klang by our driver guide, who will then proceed to bring you to your first stop, Batu Caves.
While on the scenic journey to the first stop of the tour, our driver guide would brief you about the history of the temples and would also remind you of the regulations and dress codes that need to be adhered to while visiting the places of worship.
At the Batu Caves, you’ll be greeted by the enormous 140-foot Murugan statue located right next to the sacred Hindu temples situated among 400-million-year-old limestone caves. You’ll get the chance to climb up the 272 steps to reach the main cave temple, where you can admire the religious sculptures and vivid murals within and enjoy panoramic views of the city below.
You’ll then get back into the vehicle for a 30-minute ride back to Kuala Lumpur for your next stop, the King’s Palace. On the way there, your driver guide will provide insights on Malaysia’s royal lineage. Arriving at the enormous King’s palace, you stroll outside to admire its intricate architecture and capture photographs of the massive palace along with the royal guards.
You get back into the vehicle for the next stop, the National Mosque. When you arrive at the National Mosque, you’ll be captivated by its unique umbrella-shaped design and outstanding features. You can admire the details and capture the mosque’s beauty against the backdrop of the clear blue sky. The driver guide will then bring you to the Historic Kuala Lumpur Railway Station, which transports you back in time with its beautiful Moorish architecture as our driver guide tells you about the station’s history and its significance as a transit center in the early days of Kuala Lumpur.
You’ll then be brought to the iconic Independence Square, where Malaysian independence was declared. You are met by a huge square surrounded by colonial-era buildings and the famed English-style cricket ground. Visitors are able to take photos and visit the KL Gallery right next to it.
After departing from Independence Square, you will be driven along the streets of Kuala Lumpur City Center to your final stop, the Petronas Twin Towers.
On the way there, you would drive past the “Golden Triangle,” the commercial and business hub of Kuala Lumpur, where you may find high-end shopping malls, luxury hotels, and unique high-rise architecture. When you arrive at the towers, you are taken aback by their sheer 88-story height as the driver guide reveals fascinating details on the towers’ construction and significance as a symbol of Malaysia’s modernity and the national oil and gas company, Petronas.
As the transit tour concludes, your driver guide will safely drop you back at the seaport in time to make your onward travel connections.
