Experience City tours in the best of
Kuala Lumpur with Withlocals

"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."

"Manjeet was an excellent guide; she chose very interesting places that illustrated Kuala Lumpur’s rich multi-ethnic history and culture. The tour was exactly what we were looking for, and we recommend it to everyone "

"Very nice tour with Brendon. He is a good tour guide showing off the great city of KL. We enjoyed stories and seeing the town from a local prospective. We only had 1.5 days to visit the city so it was super helpful to tour around with Brendon! Would recommend!"

"I booked our tour with Manjeet and then emailed her with our interests to which Manjeet immediately responded and it was clear she understood exactly what we were looking for. Manjeet grew up in this city, has an obvious passion for KL and provided us with many interesting facts about how it has changed for better and worse. She knows the food scene particularly well and gave us many tips on places to eat and where not to eat. She also provided us with a very comprehensive walking food tour of Little India and helped us negotiate the public transport system. Along the way we stopped at stalls for local snacks and when Manjeet saw that we were flagging in the heat, we retreated to the air conditioning of the central library and then experienced an exhibition of a KL time tunnel. Manjeet has a calm, considered manner and we felt completely relaxed and looked after in her company. I would have no hesitation in recommended you book a tour with Manjeet. "

"I had a wonderful walking tour of Kuala Lumpur with Paul. As a local, he offered the perfect balance between iconic tourist attractions and authentic neighborhood experiences that I wouldn’t have found on my own. The walking pace was comfortable, and Paul was very attentive—making sure we paused for photos and breaks at just the right moments. He also shared fascinating insights into Kuala Lumpur’s architecture and local culinary traditions, which added great depth to the experience. A truly enjoyable and well-rounded tour—highly recommended!"
