KLIA Airport Layover Tour: Batu Caves & Amazing Kuala Lumpur

Instead of waiting hours at the Airport for your connecting flight, why not make use of the opportunity to visit the City.
As this is probably your first-time stopping by KL International Airport, I will personally meet you at the airport's arrival hall and accompany you into the city.
The journey takes about 50 minutes and along the drive, I will share with you the history of my city and its people.

I have listed below a suggested list of popular places of interests for you to consider.

We shall try to see as many of them as your "layover time" permits. You should have at least 10 hours between flights. The tour will start when I meet you at the Airport.

Having lived in the city for the past 40 years, and knowing the "short-cuts" to move around quickly, you will be surprised that I will be able to show you quite a lot of sites including the Petronas Twin Towers. We shall also pick up some local street food as well.

I look forward to seeing you in KL - a City of Contrasts & Diversity.
