RATING ★★★★★
TOUR: #209678, [1~14 paxs] Kuala Lumpur + Putrajaya, Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan, Malaysia
Lawrence was great and is highly recommended. He took us to all the best locations while seemingly avoiding the crowds. We usually were leaving as large crowds were arriving, which worked out very well. We also had a great experience eating lunch at the Petronas Towers. The food was very good and so inexpensive. Lunch was roughly the equivalent of $2. Thank you Lawrence!
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you, Mr Boback. Please send my best regards to your family and Bob’s.
