Help with getting around Kuala Lumpur

Would really appreciate some help from anyone familiar with the KL transport systems. Arriving early March 2018 on cruise ship and will get ship's 'bus and tour on our own'. Bus drops us off near Petronas Twin towers about 11.00 and we need to be back there by 15.00 hrs. We will try and purchase tickets in advance for the Sky Bridge for 13.30 - so that gives us 2.5 hrs for 'exploring'. Such a short time which is a real shame. If time we would like to go up the KL tower and look around the Merdeka Square area. Advice on the feasibility of this and transport suggestions and alternative suggestions welcome. Sky Bridge we definitely want to do.

Alternatively - to give us more time in KL - any suggestions on how else to get into KL and return to/from cruise port (which I believe is the West port at Boustead, Pulau Indah) would be helpful. Many thanks

This is what we did:

 

Visit to Kuala Lumpur during our 14 Night Gems of Southeast Asia Cruise with celebrity Millennium.

We docked at Port Klang which is located about 45 km west of Kuala Lumpur

After breakfast we went on tour - 'Kuala Lumpur of your own' where we were driven by bus to Bukit Bintang. It is difficult and hot to walk on foot in the city - and can also be dangerous when crossing the big roads.

We took the monorail from Bukit Bintang to Bukit Nanas and then metro for Dang Wangi to Pasar Seni close to China town. We walked through the market streets around Jalan Pataling and visited a temple and.

From China town we went to the Central Market and then on to Merdeka Square and the Royal Selangor Club. We passed the Sultan Abdul Samad Building and Masjid Jamek on our further way to Little India - a very colorful area.

Here we walked through the shopping street Lebuh Ampang, and then we went back to Bukit Bintang and passed Bukit Nanas Forrest Reserve which is a piece of rainforest in the middle of the city - unfortunately we did not have time for a visit.

Back at the Plaza Rakyat in Bukit Bintang we took the bus back to the ship.

Many thanks Hallam.

We will probably do the 'tour on our own' option. Our bus seems to drop us off near the Petronas Twin Towers - which suits us as it is the main thing we want to do.

Can anyone tell us the quickest/easiest way to get from the Twin Towers to the KL Tower.

 

Many thanks
