Booked this as a family of 4 trip and it was well paced. Petaling Street (Chinatown) in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

Petaling Street (Chinatown) alone was worth the trip, but combined with Sunway Lagoon theme park this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

Our trip to Kuala Lumpur was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Petaling Street (Chinatown) was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.
