Good nightlife experiences fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 5 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Taste Kuala Lumpur’s Indian, Malay, and Chinese specialties by MRT, with Chinatown nightlife, local stories, and six guided tastings.
“So fun! Learnt so much and tried so many delicious foods, Ari was so knowledgeable!”
See Kuala Lumpur by night on foot, from Bukit Bintang and Jalan Alor to rooftop views, live music, and the Petronas Towers.
“Zaq was an excellent and very flexible guide. It was just my wife and I and he modified the tour to suit are needs. Walking around KL at night on your own you miss so many spots and insightful background. Zaq also took us to a small but very good food mall near the Pavilion. Would not have found this on our own. Highly recommended.”
Explore Kuala Lumpur’s Chinatown after dark with cocktails, street art, claypot chicken rice, hidden bars, and local food stories.
“There is no need for a virtual reality headset or any fancy gadgets to enjoy this experience – we simply logged in and followed Pauline in her Zoom ‘live stream’ as she meanders her way through the bustling Chow Kit Market! Being the melRead more”
See Kuala Lumpur after dark, from Petaling Street and historic temples to Merdeka Square and the KLCC fountain show.
“The driver was not cooperative, and at one point of time, passed objectionable comments about passengers. He wanted to wrap up the tour by 2 hours, finally he did it by 2.30 hours. The tour package was not worthy.”
Explore Kuching after dark with Sarawakian cocktails, rooftop music, craft beer, local stories, and hotel drop-off for $75.
“The pub crawl in Kuching was a real highlight. Sam was a very professional and at the same time extremely entertaining guide. You can tell immediately that he knows the city very well and has a deep knowledge of Kuching, Sarawak, and Malaysia in general. He shared lots of interesting stories and insider tips and took us to some really cool bars that we probably wouldn’t have found on our own. The food was great, the atmosphere was fun and relaxed, and overall it was a fantastic experience. I would definitely recommend this tour.”
Pick a coast, a cave or a kitchen.
