“Grace was amazing and really informative. Despite the high cost of the activity I think it was worth it considering the amount of food we were able to sample and the little street tour Grace gave us around the area. The activity lasted around 4 hours so make sure you bring water and comfy shoes. Overall I would say I learned a lot and the food was really tasty.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 249 reviews · from $79

Taste 10 Malaysian dishes on a private Kuala Lumpur food walk through Petaling Street, temples, markets, and local eateries.

“While our private tour had its ups and downs, there were notable highlights. Initially, we booked the tour with high expectations, but it turned out to be shorter than anticipated due to the small group size. On the bright side, our guide was incredibly helpful and eager to address any queries we had. The food offerings consisted of authentic street delicacies, although some raised concerns about hygiene. If time constraints aren't an issue, you'll find these delectable treats readily available at most local markets.”
