Experience 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"

"My trip to Malacca with Siidoz was a marvelous experience. As a history buff, I always knew I wanted to see Malacca, but Siidoz’s engaging conversation and considerable knowledge of the society, the politics, and the landscape of the place made the whole visit a superbly rich experience. The route was very pleasant and comfortable - for a long road trip, such comforts go a long way. Siidoz is an avid conversationalist with a thirst for knowledge. Our conversation easily transitioned from current topics in Malaccan life to current events in Malaysia to cultural experiences in the country and around the world. A superb visit with a magnificent host."

"Joel helped my parents have a great batu caves trip. His speaking in tamil reminded them of home! "

"Paul took really good care of my parents including helping my mother who was feeling the sun a bit. Also helped them find good vegetarian food. Shared the history of Melaka. They enjoyed their trip. "

"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. "
