Great guide opened wonders of Kuala Lumpur

Spend an most enjoyable morning with Mr. Ramesh walking the centre of Kuala Lumpur. We had visited KL before but Mr. Ramesh took us around the city explaining the many diverse cultural and historic dimensions of the city. Our guide always took care with us when crossing the busy streets, also checked to make sure the walking pace was comfortable and stopped for drinks and snacks. It was a pleasure to walk with Mr. Ramesh who prefers to be called Gerry or Gerald. Ask for him if you’re visiting KL.
