Light up your evening with your favorite local on a unique private tour from busy Kuala Lumpur to the quiet neighboring village of Kuala Selangor. Whether you are fascinated by temples or captivated by nature, this tour has a great mix and will be an unforgettable experience! Head together with your new local friend towards Kuala Selangor and enjoy the views along the way. Malaysia is famous for having a rich multicultural history. There is no better way to catch those vibes than visiting a rural area that has three remarkable temples from three different religions. And don't miss the cows grazing alongside these temples, it's a wonderfully pastoral sight. By now the sun is starting to go down, and it's time to see the most incredible highlight of this trip, the fireflies! Hop in a boat and float down the river as the fireflies flicker all around you. This is a truly magical experience and will be one to remember.

Forget about the massive bus queues at the border, get into Malaysia with ease in a couple of minutes from Singapore via a special direct cross-border locomotive train service. Johor Bahru City Centre is a small and easily-walkable Malaysian town, but visiting on a group tour can mean unnecessary stops and limited time to explore. This half-day self-guided tour offers the best of both worlds, with round-trip transport by train, plus plenty of free time to take in the sights that interest you most. Remember to download and print your personalized walking map with attraction details before departure to ensure a smooth border experience.

Inclusions: Round-trip transport by special direct cross-border locomotive train, Personalized downloadable walking map with attraction details (compulsory to print before departure), Great glimpse of Malaysia, All taxes, fees and handling charges, Gratuities

Exclusions: Hotel pickup and drop-off, Food and drinks, Foot and body massage (about US$18 for 60 minutes)

Part of my bias is likely due to the rain. It was a good tour, but obviously some of the out door stuff was a bit problematic. So be careful of this during the rainy season. Lunch was delicious and the massage was great, as was out tour guide. I’d recommend giving it a try if you’re looking for a day away from Singapore.

This is the 2nd time I've engaged their services. We chartered their coach services of 40 seaters for 3 days at our disposal. Honestly, their fee was the best compare to others. They were very professional. Ms Chong has been very helpful and replied to all my queries promptly. The drivers and guides were very helpful and always very punctual. This time round we get a new double decker luxury SG coach to bring us to Malaysia custom! During our trip, the Malaysia coach need to be changed on 2nd day due to gear issue and we get a new coach:) On the last day, due to permit/tax issue, we changed to another coach again to bring us back to SG. Actually most of my family members did not realised the change of coaches. Hahaha. Honestly, they handled it so well. The drivers, guides and Ms Chong kept apologising to us. All my family members are very easy. As long as we got a coach to bring us around and back to SG, we are fine:)The uncle driver that drove us to SG is very nice and professional. He even entered our carpark gantry to alight us at our blk. Most MY coach usually alight you at the road side due to cashcard issue. The drivers and guides received good tips from my family members as we were very pleased with their services. Thank you MST team! Keep up the good job! We will definitely engage your services again!

9. Muar : The Royal Town of Johor Private Day Tour from Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Asni Tours & Travels

A good-looking spot on the river, with plenty of heritage architecture and an infectiously languorous mood, the royal town of Muar (once known as Bandar Maharani, or 'Empress Town') was historically a very important commercial centre. So important in fact, that it had its own rail system, known as Muar State Railways, running from 1889 to 1925. With each road in its central core painted a certain colour, Muar is very pretty and well worth spending a day exploring. It was also voted the cleanest city in the Asean region in 2018. Most of the heritage buildings are handily inscribed with their year of construction. Central Chinatown sees most of the action, showing off its handsome pre-war architecture, temples and a handful of good restaurants and Chinese teahouses. Muar makes for an intriguing and rewarding off-the-beaten-track stop between Melaka and Johor Bahru.
