Experience the best of
Malaysia with Withlocals

"We had a great experience. This was my second tour with Lisa, this time with my family. She is very friendly and shows us a lot a great places to eat and drink. She could answer all of our questions and was great with the kids. Recommend!!"

"We spent a very interesting 3 hours with Joel in Kuala Lumpur visiting the cultural highlights and learning about the history of this city and Malaysia in general . He was very happy to answer all our questions . It was a great introduction to the city "

"Pal Wong was absolutely fantastic when he showed me KL. He walked me through the big Petronas Towers and downtown, Chnna town and showed me temples from all three major Malaysian religions, Muslim, Hindu, and Taoist. At the end I really felt like I knew Malaysia, a country I had previously not known at all."

"Remy is an excellent guide. He tailored a walking tour tailored to our tastes and mindful of a blazing hot day. We could not have asked for more"

"The best food we had in Malaysia was the food we eat when on tour with Lisa. Lisa is a very kind, calm and lovely lady who knows a lot about the different tastings in Malaysia. We tried new stuff even after having already done a food tour in KL, and she really knows how to find the gems. The variety was great and she also knew how to please the kids with the choices of tastings. Definitely recommend doing a tour with Lisa ❤️"

"Joo Bee is so warmhearted and energetic! First of all, when we met she already knew the name of every person on our group, just wow! Joo Bee knew a lot of history and told us interesting stories. That is so great about going on a tour with a local ❤️. She was very patient with us (child with some heat coping issues on a hot summer day) and showed us around town to places we would have never been without her. Thank you for the lovely tour dear Joo Bee!"

"Moyd told us a lot about the history of Penang and the different cultures. He shared fun anecdotes at many places. And the stories about the street art were interesting and resulted in some great photos."

"We booked an evening food tour with Remy, and it was honestly such a wonderful experience! Remy was an amazing guide. You could immediately tell that he is a true local, which made the experience feel so much more authentic. He showed us so many delicious local foods and took us to places we probably would never have found on our own. We felt much more connected to the local street food scene and got to experience the evening and nightlife at the street food market in a way we probably wouldn't have been able to on our own. What made the tour especially special was how comfortable and welcome Remy made us feel. He was incredibly friendly, easy to talk to, and we had such interesting and enjoyable conversations with him. We genuinely enjoyed listening to him and learning from him. He also paid close attention to our wishes and preferences and adapted the tour as much as possible to what we wanted. The whole evening felt so relaxed and personal that it honestly didn't feel like a tour at all. It felt more like spending an evening with someone who was showing us their city and sharing their local knowledge with us. We had such a great time and would absolutely book another tour with Remy again. I can highly recommend him to anyone looking for an authentic, personal and unforgettable local food experience!"

"Exploring the streets of KL and hearing how cultures, migration, and local spices have shaped Malaysian food was a highlight of my visit. Manjeet was a wealth of knowledge and an great story teller. She was also extremely accommodating to a request to change our schedule. She later gave me a list of all the places we visited and the foods we tried. Highly recommended! "

"My first visit to KL, it overlapped with Chinese New Year ‘26. The heart of KL was absolutely full with visitors and bustling with activity so I wanted to get a wider exposure , taking a private tour by car. Zach took me to eat my first Nasi Lemak at what he considers the best in town. It really was extraordinary, what a fantastic dish. I was a bit hesitant to try the hot chili/sambal but his encouragement helped me be bolder and try everything. As an avid home cook who enjoys world travel, and cuisine, I really appreciated that experience. He took me to Royal Selangor Visitor Center for a private tour, which I highly recommend. It is very unique and you can go home with a personal souvenir. My husband loved his Star Wars’ Yoda figurine. We made brief stops at different sites like the Dataran Merdeka, the King’s Palace, and more. We drove around so I could get an overview of the city, and its different neighborhoods. He helped me get neat pictures of iconic sights like the Petronas Towers, KL Tower and Merdeka 118 from different perspectives. At my request he brought me to a popular market, I think it was the Central Market, and gave me time to shop. (Sorry for the wait Zach! :( ) Finally, he went out of his way to help me get a taste of Beef Randang where locals get it. That was another delicious, complex Malaysian dish. He took me to the market to shop for Kashimiri dried chilis, and chili powder at Little India Brickfields. He knew exactly where to go and what to ask for. I have enjoyed some wonderful Malaysian dishes at home since, and make my own sambal from scratch. As a solo female traveler, I prefer private, personalized guided tours. He made me feel comfortable and at ease. I am very appreciative for the care Zach took to take me around and show me a local’s KL. As an insider, he really knows his way around KL and its best offerings. I had an enjoyable experience with him and would highly recommend him to others."
