Either the 24 or 48 hour pass on the Hop On Hop Off is a great way to get around Kuala Lumpur. You'll be able to get off most stops for at least 30 mins to an hour. We also had 5-10 min stops for photos at sites. I personally enjoyed the upper deck outside sitting area with fresh air during December. It was a good opportunity to see KL's skyscrapers and get familiar with the city with it's historic landmarks. This experience also proved to be a fantastic photo op!
The Hop On, Hop Off bus really is the best way to see KL city, which is quite spread out. But be warned : there always seems to be heavy traffic congestion so if you decide to sit outside on the open top deck, make sure you have a cap or hat handy to shade yourself from the searing heat, as you'll be sat in traffic for long periods of time. We had to keep going under the covered section of the top deck whilst sat in traffic as it was unbearable otherwise.
It probably takes around 2 hours to do the full tour & it's worth sitting on board at least once to do the full circuit before deciding where to hop off - if you can stand the heat, that is. The buses are reasonably regular - between every 15-20 minutes.
One complaint we do have is that one day, we waited for an hour in soaring heat - along with several other passengers - at the Merdeka bus stop, only to find out from the police sat nearby that double-decker buses wouldn't be stopping at that stop on that particular day because they were preparing for an event. At no point had anyone standing there waiting been advised of this - not on the bus, no staff waiting at that stop to divert customers etc. Very poor. The company's A frame was sat there on the pavement at the bus stop - why on earth didn't they use some common sense & courtesy & put a notice on it? It's a shame that clouded our judgement as this activity would have got full stars from us otherwise.
This was the worst hop on off bus tour I have been on. Very little commentary and was usually told of destination when bus was pulling away from stop so you didn't know if bus was just stuck in traffic or it was the stop you wanted to get off at. So actually missed getting to see what i wanted.
The best money you can spend to go to so many places go every 20 minutes have A/C in the first floor and in the 2nd
It was a nice city tour through hop on hop off bus and I would suggest to go early so that u can spend enough time to the entire tour( timing is 8 am to 8 pm)
This tour of Kuala Lumpur takes around 1.75 hours. Whilst I always recommend doing the bus tours in any city, this is not one of the best. It is not the fault of this tour operator as the KL traffic is not good and will probably get worse over time with all the new build happening. I would still recommend this one as it is still very worthwhile to see the city.
