“Some comments about whether this is a guided tour or not. It isn’t. But it shouldn’t be. Fouzi, my driver, knew the history and was a great driver and guide in one. Would you expect every person to go walk up 272 steps every time? You can enjoy the sights and it’s entirely possible to enjoy without someone holding your hand. Men - no need for long pants. The mosque caters to those who don’t have the necessary covering. EXCELLENT time in KL”
