Kuala Lumpur Local Street Food Private Walking Tour by Night

1.Kuala Lumpur Local Street Food Private Walking Tour by Night

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 224 reviews · from $68Our pick

Review of Kuala Lumpur’s private night food walk, covering Jalan Alor, Hutong, mamak dishes, guide quality, value, and dietary needs.

“We booked this tour expecting some local stories, but the guide seemed like she was forced to walk with us. The whole tour was creepy and way overpriced for what we got. The food was okay but really nothing special. Just find a free tour and leave the same amount of money as tips.”

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.”

“Unser guide Lewis war ein Traum. Nach anfänglichen Schwierigkeiten den Treffpunkt zu finden (dieser sollte unbedingt einfacher gelegen sein da man nicht wirklich Internet hat) hat er uns super freundlich empfangen. Wir waren nur zu zweit mit ihm und hatten das Gefühl mit einem Freund seine Heimatstadt zu erkunden. Wir empfehlen euch, im Hotel nicht zu frühstücken da es unterwegs 3x was zu essen gibt. Alles super local und lecker. Es wurde super viel erzählt und erklärt aber es war nie zu viel oder langweilig. Im Gegenteil. Lewis hat unterwegs Bilder von uns gemacht welche anschließend (natürlich vorab im Einverständnis besprochen) per Mail und WhatsApp geteilt wurden. Die verschiedenen Tempe...”
