Batu Caves & KL Tower are definitely a must see whilst in KL, although personally I do prefer going up to the Observation Deck at KL Tower in the morning.Ramble and Wanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336881437780077950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877877240777118514.post-56017738422947067452016-05-24T03:19:45.997+08:002016-05-24T03:19:45.997+08:00I see you're a hard core HOHO user here, ha ha...I see you're a hard core HOHO user here, ha ha! ;) But it's true, they do provide excellent ways to see major sights around a city without much of a hassle - unless if you get stuck in the traffic. ;)Ramble and Wanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336881437780077950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877877240777118514.post-32319857971883838532016-05-24T03:16:49.949+08:002016-05-24T03:16:49.949+08:00Yes, the option to hop on and hop off without any ...Yes, the option to hop on and hop off without any limit is one of the main appeals of HOHO. You can explore according to your own time and interests while at the same time have some guides around the city, unlike when you go on a group tour where you have to rush through and follow the tour schedule.Ramble and Wanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336881437780077950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877877240777118514.post-32517909944422194182016-05-24T03:13:09.929+08:002016-05-24T03:13:09.929+08:00I think HOHO bus could be a good idea and a bad id...I think HOHO bus could be a good idea and a bad idea as well, depending on which cities you actually use it. Anyways for this excursion, I wouldn't say it's extensive but it does go a bit out of the way, all the to Batu Caves. In general though, it does provide a good introduction to Kuala Lumpur.Ramble and Wanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336881437780077950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877877240777118514.post-46274246456947801482016-05-24T03:08:29.971+08:002016-05-24T03:08:29.971+08:00You're exactly right!

It's more of a matter if you want to walk around in the sun/rain and humidity or in an air-conditioned bus, heh!Ramble and Wanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336881437780077950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877877240777118514.post-61026839300653931612016-05-24T02:58:59.955+08:002016-05-24T02:58:59.955+08:00Oh man, you're too kind-lah, Miera, haha!

It's great to get an overview of a large place (for example we enjoyed a tour in Lisbon).
