Kuala Lumpur is a bubbling hodgepodge of big business structures and classy gastronomic joints, punctuated by wide, green urban spaces and busy boulevards lined with leaning palms. It’s one of the self-proclaimed commerce hubs of Southeast Asia, proudly electric and advanced in its reworking of the oft-considered Asian traditionalism. Today, many visitors are awed by the city’s hedonistic nightlife, while others are pleasantly surprised by the veritable array of foodstuffs on offer in the restaurants or street side market stalls. But it’s all part-and-parcel in this buzzing metropolis, where the overarching blanket of character is woven from the threads of unbridled multiculturalism and international investment to boot. While the iconic Petronas Towers are perhaps the most enduring image of KL’s modernity on the skyline, the city is now heaving with new constructions and other truly daunting high rise commercial centres. Consequently, many a Kuala Lumpur tourist guide would recommend one of the city’s rooftop ‘sky bars’ as perhaps the best introduction to its 360-degree panorama, a great way to get acquainted with the metropolis’ undeniably immersive character that’s much-loved for its ability to flood the senses to excess.

What other guests say about our tours and locals

Wonderful afternoon with Manjeet

"I enjoyed a colorful afternoon tour with Manjeet through KL! Full of food tasting, story telling, history and experiencing the great city of KL. Would always do it again. Thank you so much!"

Great experience!

"We did the "The 10 Tastings of Kuala Lumpur: Street Food" under the guidance of May, where she showed us around Kuala Lumpur's ChinaTown area. It was a great experience as she shared great food spots around the area and also showed and talked about the food culture of Malaysia in General. When you're in Kuala Lumpur we highly recommend booking a tour with May!"

An interesting day with a great guide!

"On a short lay over of one day in KL, we booked Brendon to introduce us to his city. And enjoyed every minute of it! Brendon is full of interesting facts and anecdotes, yet brought in a vibrant and funny way. We were shown both the historical side, Chinatown and just as well the new district, with all highlights but just as well the hidden spots we would certainly miss on our own. We indicated we were foodies and tasted some of the most delicious local food. We had an unforgettable day with Brendon! Highly recommendable!"

Kuala Lumpur Walking Tour

"My husband and I had fantastic time with our guide Paul. He showed us around the city, provided us a lot of information and took us to places that we would have never visited on our own. We enjoyed it very much. We highly recommend this tour, you will not be dissappointed. "

Siddoz is fun !

"Siddoz was a great host for our food tour. He asked what types of conceptions we had and if we wanted to try anything in specific. He had great stories and gave very interesting history as well. He was very fun, funny, and informative. We would definitely book a tour with Siddoz again!"

A day out with May

"We had the most amazing day out with May . She is the most brilliant guide. She's very friendly and very knowledgeable about all the places that we went to visit. May was very flexible regarding timings and where we went..she arranged the tour accordingly and met all of our needs and our expectations. We visited many places of interest and ate food that we would never have tried had we been by ourselves. We experienced the highlights of KL in one day and we are so happy that we chose May."

Prter the Great

Private & personalized tours in kuala lumpur with a local.

When you hit the road and land in a new city like Kuala Lumpur, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.

Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Kuala Lumpur spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Kuala Lumpur.

The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.

But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Kuala Lumpur, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Kuala Lumpur awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.

So, next time you're in Kuala Lumpur, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Kuala Lumpur. Get ready to explore like a local!

This 4 hour private tour is one of the top Kuala Lumpur guided tours at night. It starts at 5pm with hotel transfers, where you’ll head to several sites including Central Market for shopping, Merdeka Square, Guan Di Temple, Chinatown and the Maha Mariamman Temple.
