Great day with Adnan
"Adnan is a very personable guide with decent knowledge and a happy disposition. His car is super comfortable with great aircon & he speaks great English. We ( 2 of us) booked a 4 hr Batu Cave Temple tour that we completed in about 1.5hrs, so he then took us to the hot springs and local waterfall. We had a superb day and I would certainly recommend him."
