    Great Experience - Great Service!
    Brought my mom & wifey to visit Royal Selangor and was very impressed with the personalized tour by the young lady & boy (can't remember their name). They were very accommodative and patiently answer our questions. At the end of the tour, I decided to buy one of the beautiful products and the staff especially Dayang & Cristal were also very friendly. They also happily did a gift wrapping when I told them I'm buying a gift for my mom. I find it a very nice gesture and I truly appreciate such efforts. Well done Team Royal Selangor. You made our day!

    Historical place to learn about Pewter industry in Malaysia
    We visited Royal Selangor Visitor centre without booking in advance. The staff were polite and welcoming, and was available to give us a guided tour within 5 minutes. The young tour guide, Poh, was very professional and knowledgeable. The whole place was elegantly presented, products in the show room have a huge variety, and the pecan cake in the Cafe was delicious. It’s definitely a place worth visiting!

    Nice place to visit
    Very nice and interesting place. The staff there are very helpful and friendly. Special thanks to our tour guide, Yin. From her explanation we learned about their history and product making. We also had a great experience at the Hard Knock School and will be booking The Foundry Workshop session for our next visit.

    Don't miss their display gallery
    You will be welcomed here with a welcome drink followed by a walk around the factory. Dont miss the Pewter beer mug at the entrance...huge and heavy ! The walk around the display gallery was beautiful, each artefact made of pewter including dinner sets, wine glass set, several portraits, marvel miniatures and so on. They have a small and cozy cafe inside - you can rest before you head out for your tours. Overall an amazing experience.

    A best Cantonese Guider
    I have to say i'm pleasantly surprised. Nicky, my guide an excellent Cantonese speaker, she is a beautiful girl, she was very friendly and enthusiastic about the history of the factory and she kept me interested and informed. The demonstrations while on the tour were good to watch and makes you realise how special this process is and how intricate the items are to make.

    Thank you Poh & Affika!
    Excellent afternoon experience at Royal Selangor! We thoroughly enjoyed making a personalised pewter bowl with Affika in the workshop, and also loved our very interesting and speedy tour from Poh - he taught us about the company history, the significance of the pewter industry in Malaysia, and we got to view live demonstrations on the factory floor of some different products being made by very skilled craftspeople. A great trip out :)

Love the experience from coming to the front desk asking politely which language we prefer, from there is an amazing guide name Sammy that guide us thru from history of selangor pewter to how delicate, dedication and amazing craftsmanship they have.
And of course the Finale would be the gallery of their product for us to have a look, and maybe buy some back home.
In Total experience it was a Amazing Experience for me and my family. Thank you Royal Selangor and of course our guide sammy
