Experience tomorrow the best of
Kuala Lumpur with Withlocals

"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."

"TK showed us around SS2 nightmarket and Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur, and fed us with so much great food we didn’t (dare to) tried ourselves. He is a fun and helpful person and told us a lot of interesting information. Thanks for a great time TK!"

"We had an amazing food tour with Siidoz and his colleague Ravi. We weren't rushed at any point and had more than enough to eat! We certainly didn't need anything more! His knowledge was excellent and the tour was tailored to our preferences. The variety of foods we tasted was huge, made us try things we wouldn't have otherwise considered. The temple visits were also extremely interesting Thank you Siidoz! One of us will definitely be back"

"Simply put, an excellent adventure with Manjeet. Starting with the introductions and curry puffs, to explaining the royal family, to absolutely tasty stops all over the back streets. Nothing was too much trouble and when she noted my wife was taking lots of pictures she purposely chose streets with wall art, or great photo spots on our way to the next food stop. All the while giving us information about the history of Malaysia, its food and their origins. A great guide!"

"Great tour Paul thank you for the informative enjoyable and being flexible allowing us to adapt the itinerary Would highly recommend "

"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. "

"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! "
