There are a number of ways to get to know a city better. However, one particular way of creating an overall impression of a place is a Hop-on-Hop-off bus tour.
Signing up for the HO-HO tour last month had awakened in me the feelings of a waiting-to-emerge tourist. It turned out as I had hoped it would. We took off to discover the grandeur of KL aboard the open-top double-decker. The whole tour was superb with a knowledgeable guide, Tajuddin. He is a fountain of knowledge, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide! I learned a few facts that I did not know. Also the driver was impeccable providing us with a smooth bus trip.
In my opinion , the highlight of the trip was a stop at the Istana Negara. The grandness of the whole architectural complex was just mind-blowing! The perfection in the presentation of the royal guards and horsemen was outstanding.
The tour covered the whole city. Fortunately, the traffic was acceptable making the whole trip enjoyable.
To conclude, I would emphasize the crucial role of MCG as an asset to promoting Malaysian heritage. You have undoubtedly enriched my experience of KL by 10-fold!
