We enjoyed an interesting, tasteful and very personal walk through KL. The mixture of authentic streetfood, insights in Chinese and Indian religion and a very modern, heartful and friendly guide made this excursion easy. Even for our two teenagers (16 and 17). We can recommend this tour absolutely.

Kristin – Eat, Pray, Walk, and Love City Tour The dedication of our tour guide, Kristin, was an unforgettable experience for us. She made the Eat, Pray, Walk, and Love city tour truly special. Her commitment and expertise were simply outstanding – she even took extra time for us beyond the scheduled hours. 5 out of 5 stars!

Excellent walk with Kristina yesterday. Had a lot of laughs some great food and walked a lot of KL. Enjoyed the repeat of this walk from a decade ago.
We’re thrilled to hear you had a fun and memorable time with Kristin with full of laughs, great food, and KL adventures! It’s extra special to know you revisited the walk after a decade. What an amazing way to relive memories while making new ones. Hope to see you again on another tour soon!
We had a wonderful guide, Kristine, who took us to lots of interesting food stalls and restaurants. Showing us tehtarik, roti and and various curries and even fantastic tissue roti! We took a train to the Kampong and saw the old heritage houses, lots of interesting vegetable stalls and had yet more different and fascinating food. It was pouring with rain but that added to the experience and Kristine managed very well. She found us taxis home at the end of a very enjoyable tour. Thanks you Kristine!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Kristin. Exploring the flavors of teh tarik, roti, and all the delicious curries – plus the unique tissue roti – must have been an adventure! Rain or shine, we’re glad the experience felt even more memorable, and we’re so happy Kristin could make the day comfortable and enjoyable for you. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to her. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back for more discoveries!
Kristin was our wonderful guide on this tour. We learnt and tried out a few interactive and interesting activities such as making roti, making a prayer in a Chinese temple and the what is involved in the outcome. We tried a variety of foods that we would never have done if we were on our own. Thoroughly recommend Kristin as your guide.

This is a tour which brings you to places where you don't normally go if you are on your own. Lewis, our tour guide, brought us to experience hands-on on flipping Roti Canai, pull Teh Tarik, went through the procedure in a Chinese Temple to get rid of the bad luck, watch how they bath the god in an Indian temple, etc. Lewis also bought us local foods to try, roti canai with kaya (this is something new to me), and the original taste cendol. The Walk is well structured, at a good pace, and enhanced by a knowledgeable guide, who has the customers' interest at heart.

If you really want to get to know Kuala Lumpur, this tour is an absolute must. Lewis is not only a guide, but also a defender of the preservation of the KL heritage. With passion and enthusiasm, he and his trainee Yi Hao took us into the city's past, the different religions and the delicious food that plays an important role in Malaysian culture. The strength of the tour was mainly in the fact that they really let us experience everything. In the temples Lewis let us perform the most important rituals and in the restaurants we could not only taste but also played a role in the preparation of the food. The guides speak excellent English and the explanations were clear and to-the-point. We have become a lot wiser and have a much better understanding of the way people live in KL. Lewis and Yi Hao: thanks again for this valuable experience.
Dear Marco, Greetings from us at Tourist Information And Interaction Center! How are you? Thank you for your encouraging and positive review. We are delighted that you have enjoyed your tour experience around Kuala Lumpur with our guides, Lewis and Yihao. We are happy that you have learned much more about our country, foods, cultures, and people. We are looking forward to bringing you around again. Warm regards, Rick Tan Admin.
