It was a great day out of busy KL. Nice drive to and from with a friendly driver. We went by car with only 4 passengers so it was a nice day. Worth having a look at this historical city.

The place is worth the trip! But the guide was always in a hurry. The bus trip and lunch was longer than the actual trip to the place.
