The comprehensive 45-minute heritage cruise from Masjid Jamek jetty costs RM15 and shows you KL's colonial buildings from river level. Most tourists never think about boats in KL but this city started as a river port.

You'll pass the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, old godowns (warehouses), and see how the city developed along the water. The commentary covers tin mining history and why KL exists where it does. Multiple daily departures, check jetty for current schedule. This longer tour offers more detailed historical context than shorter river trips from other departure points.
