Streetfood meets culture - made easy 4 families.

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.

Fantastic Food With Kristine!

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!

Interactive tour with wonderful food tastings

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.

Experience you'll not get if you are on your own

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.

Operator response

Best city tour ever!

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.
