Voice of Travelers to Malaysia
Amazing Experience at Petronas Towers!
Petronas Towers, Malaysia offer a truly stunning site. The evening fountain show does not require a ticket purchase, and are a must-see in Malaysia's capital city. To go up to the observation deck, the ticket process is easy with a small queue at the ticket office. From the top of the towers, you have a gorgeous view of the city, and it almost seems like you can see the whole of Malaysia! There's also an excellent souvenir shop to buy your momentos of Malaysia. Remember to keep your ticket safe when visiting as you may need to show ticket inspectors. Overall this was a highlight of my trip to Malaysia and I highly recommend it.
Impressive Trip to Batu Caves!
Our trip to the Batu caves in Malaysia was very enjoyable. We took the train from Kuala Lumpar central station; the process to buy the ticket was very easy, and the tickets are reasonably priced. The caves are only a half-hour journey away, and we were able to take in the view of the Malaysia countryside. Once you get there, the ticket for entry is cheap, and even better when you realise the ticket price includes a guide who explains the history of the caves. I've even kept the ticket as a memento! Overall it's a very interesting site to visit to include on your trip to Malaysia.
A wonderful Diving Experience!
We were so excited when we booked our ticket to Malaysia! We'd always wanted to go diving when we got there, and we had a fantastic time diving at Sipadan Island off the coast of Malaysia. Try to book your ticket to the region in the quiet season, as Malaysia's a really popular destination. We definitely recommend including Sipadan Island on your tour of Malaysia. Book your ticket soon, you won't regret visiting Malaysia!
