"BEST OF PUTRAJAYA TOUR" @ RM1 ONLY !

[Grace]

THERE is not much that you can get for RM1 now, but you can get a
glimpse of Putrajaya for just that.


The ‘Best of Putrajaya Tour’, an initiative by the Putrajaya
Corporation (Pjc), is aimed at giving visitors a taste of what the
city has to offer.


From the bus, tourists will get to see the Prime Minister’s office and
residence, Putra Mosque, Seri Bakti Bridge, Taman Warisan Pertanian,
Putrajaya International Convention Centre, Botanical Gardens via the
Seri Perdana Bridge and Dataran Putra.
Good ride: Hop on the ‘Best of Putrajaya’ tour bus for only RM1.

There are three “photo stops” where tourists can take photos of Taman
Putra Perdana, Seri Warisan Bridge and the Boulevard.


Recently, tour guide Mohd Zen took reporters and tourists around
Putrajaya and its places of interests.


Those on the bus were busy clicking away on their cameras whenever
they passed by a place of interest.


Friends Sirine Elbekri, 20, and Najette Djellal, 23, were at the
Putrajaya Sentral when they saw the brochures about the tour and
signed up on the spot.


Both are from France and are in Malaysia for their internship.
Photo galore: Elbekri (front) and Djellal busy capturing the wonders
of Putrajaya.

“I would definitely recommend the tour to my friends,” Elbekri said
while Djellal hoped there would be more photo stops especially at the
Putra Mosque.


They enjoyed the tour and hoped to see the most of Malaysia during
their stay.


This is the fifth time Leowania Leow has taken the tour and this time
she went with her family and relatives from Penang.


“Even though I work in Putrajaya, I do not get to see the various
attractions and this tour allows me to do so.


“I have taken foreign friends such as a Finnish couple on the tour to
show them Putrajaya,” she said.


The tours are available on weekends at 11.30am and 3pm. The tour takes
between 90 minutes and two hours.


Call ahead if you are coming in a large group as the bus can only
accommodate 40 people.


For details, call 019-236 1796 or 019-347 8012.
