5.00If you want to see the real Kuala Lumpur, do this! We spent the morning exploring the city’s hidden gems by bike—a fantastic way to see the architecture and local life, combining the moderm and the heritage part of the city. The highlight, however, was our evening with Lili and her mum. Learning about Peranakan culture through their family recipes was an unforgettable experience. The food was authentic and delicious, but the company was even better. It’s a must-do for families looking for a deep cultural connection. Highly recommended! The full day in company of the guides was great: very kind, positive, always willing to share, and on time. Thank you very much for making this trip a huge success. Felicia, Lukas, Ulrika, & Donatien

5.00I joined the KL Street Food Adventure Tour by Vespalicious and it was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We explored some of Kuala Lumpur’s most iconic local spots like Chow Kit Market, Kampung Baru, and Heritage Row, each filled with its own charm, history, and mouthwatering food. The food selection was incredible. We got to sample cendol, apom balik, nasi lemak, keropok lekor, and so many other local favourites. Every stop felt authentic, well-curated, and delicious (definitely the kind of food you’d struggle to discover on your own). A special shoutout to our guide, Munir, who was amazing, passionate, and extremely knowledgeable. He shared stories, cultural insights, and fun facts that made the whole experience even more meaningful. His energy really elevated the tour. I’ve done the Vespalicious Cooler Lumpur by Night Vespa Street Food tour a few years back and loved it, and I’m happy to say this Street Food Adventure was just as great. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience KL’s food and culture in the most enjoyable way!
