The tour is 3.5 hours long and includes a knowledgeable local guide, transport in a shared minivan or bus, and visits to major landmarks including Petronas Twin Towers, Istana Negara, and culturally significant sites. Entry fees to attractions are not included unless stated in your booking confirmation.

What time does the tour start, and can I choose morning or afternoon?
