5.00Very Enjoyable. Great way to see another side of KL. Seeing all of the various foods was a lot of fun, and a great way to meet a few folks.
Karlton was brilliant and the food diverse!

5.00A superb experience! Karlton was a brilliant guide- there was no shortage of food and we saw some great sights. The diverse cuisines were both interesting and tasty! We really couldn’t eat any more when it came to the last stop. I’ve been on a few food tours and this is one of the best. It’s a personal experience as the max to a group is 4… it’s like going to dinner with a friend!
Great experience for the entire family

5.00We had an amazing night with our guide Karlsson. We took a Grab from the city Centre to the starting point and he showed us around in the city and took us to places where no tourist will come. My kids of 10 and 11 are not the easiest eaters, but he really took care of their likings. We ended up in china town, where we also did some sight seeing in the neighborhood. We were really stuffed and couldn’t finish all our dishes, but we had a great time. Thank you again!

5.00Meeting our guide, Mr. Carlson, has made our memories of Kuala Lumpur even better! I was so impressed with the best food and the best hospitality! We are also very knowledgeable about history and food, and have learned a lot about Kuala Lumpur in the last few hours! Please look forward to seeing you again when you come!

Food tours don't get better than this!

5.00My wife and I always take a food tour whenever we visit a new city. So we have done plenty in our time. But we both agreed that this was the best we've ever had. What made it particularly special was that Karlson took immense time and trouble to make sure that he ordered things we would both like. Karlson was a great host. The food was immense (and very plentiful...essentially we had 3 full dinners!) and the places he took us to were ones that we could never have found for ourselves. An outstanding tour and highly recommended.

5.00When you think you’ve tried it all, there’s still more to discover. I have been in Malaysia for 2 weeks already and thought I’ve tried the local spots, but this food tour opened my tastebuds. Karlson took us to where the locals actually eat and not the tourist traps. Each location had a nice backstory to it and made the food taste five times better.
