Experience the best of
Malaysia with Withlocals

"We only had a short period of time in KL and we wanted to make the most of it. Zack did a great job tailoring the tour to my dietary requirements. We really enjoyed the places he took us, particularly the old cinema. Our favourite dish was the Pandan coconut cake cooked in bamboo. "

"We had a fantastic food tour in Penang with Lisa and couldn’t recommend her more highly. She is such a warm, kind, and knowledgeable guide who clearly loves sharing her city with visitors. What we appreciated most was how she tailored the experience to our preferences while still introducing us to an incredible variety of local dishes and drinks. From hidden local gems to iconic Penang favorites, every stop felt thoughtfully chosen and authentic. We especially loved that she took us beyond the obvious tourist spots and shared the stories, culture, and history behind the food. If you’re looking for someone who knows the hidden corners of Penang, offers a genuine local perspective, and makes the experience feel like exploring with a friend, Lisa is the perfect guide."

"We spent a terrific 3 hours with Remy sampling a huge array of different foods in Georgetown. We tried all sorts, that we would never have come across without guidance from Remy. Everything was delicious and we left feeling very full. Be sure to bring your appetite and you'll have a great experience. We also learnt a lot about Malaysia and all the dishes we tried were explained to us. I would definitely recommend this tour to any foodies out there visiting Penang."

"I spent a beautiful day on Malacca tour with Paul. He was very knowledgeable, respectful and knows the place inside out. It was so fantastic to learn about the heritage of the city and to try some of the local delicacies in one of the authentic restaurants. I truly enjoyed the views from fortress and specially the Dutch square. Paul showed me the most important areas of the city and gave amazing overview of the history of Malaysia. Thank you, Paul for this extraordinary experience. "

"I had a pleasure of meeting Johan on my recent trip to KL. I selected him as a guide to Batu caves and it was nothing short of perfect. He is kind, knowledgeable and doing his job with love. We went early in the morning to avoid crowds and heat. He explained not just the history of the place but also showed me how the pilgrimage looks like and what are the rituals during that time. Seeing that I am not properly dressed for walk in nature, he so mindfully suggested that we do a city tour instead and I was so grateful for this idea. Johan was a perfect guide and I highly recommend him to be your guide when in KL. Thank you, Johan for the unforgettable day!"

"Povan was an excellent guide and so knowledgeable about KL and the history behind the foods we tried. Informative and great company All the food was really tasty and would highly recommend a tour with Povan "

"This was a truly memorable experience. Manjeet was able to customize this food tour to our specific dietary requirements (vegan, vegetarian and non-vegetarian who all cannot tolerate spicy food) to give us a taste of Malaysia - which is very hard to do as so much of the cuisine features meat or at the base egg and spice is a central ingredient. She went above and beyond, showing us local areas and laneways we wouldn't find on our own, sending us food recommendations before and after our tour including recommendations for our next destination. She also shared with us the cultural and history of KL and Malaysia. We learned so much from her and are still talking amongst ourselves about how fantastic of a tour guide she was for our group. If you are on the fence please do book her. If I could I would give her a 100/10. "

"I did a food tour with TK and I really loved it! Our group was not the easiest because my partner and I were travelling with our picky and shy 8-year old and my elderly mom who’s not very adventurous with food. TK was very patient and sweet. Not only he made us try some amazing food we would not have discovered otherwise. He also showed us around and told us a lot of interesting facts about KL and Malaysian culture in general. He also took me to a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to help me solve my back pain issue. He’s a gem! "

"We booked the Kuala Selangor Day Trip with Hoopy, because we wanted to support a woman. Hoopy is a charming, funny and caring guide. She shared lots of interesting background information with us and was very flexible to adapt our tour. It was a really refreshing and entertaining tour with her. Thank you!"

"Had a really enjoyable tour of KL with Manjeet. She was really helpful in tailoring to my interests, shared lots of local and historical knowledge and was really great company for 3 hours. Thank you, Manjeet!"
