Treat your feet and your taste buds to a 3.5-hour interactive walking (If drive for Private tour) tour takes you on a tasting tour through the alleys and narrow ways of Kuala Lumpur and its suburbs by foot/drive. The history of Malaysia is alive and can be experienced on a plate. Check out the Brickfields neighborhood area where there is strong Indian influence in the architecture, the music, and the food. Sample a delicious serving from a banana leaf where the food is the king without the tourist glitz.

Great way to experience local foods in KL

We had a great tour. It was an excellent way to see KL and try food in different neighborhoods. We tried street-style food in Little India, Chinatown, and the Muslim Indian areas. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about KL and the different cuisines. Recommend for food enthusiasts up for trying very local foods in unpretentious locations.
