Disappointing tour.

3.00We went as a couple, and our tour lasted 2 hours 30 minutes. The atmosphere was very busy which made it exciting and enjoyable from that view point for us. We liked the hustle and bustle of the vendors and the noise. Unfortunately, however, we didn’t feel that from our guide, she was somewhat lacking in enthusiasm and energy to make the evening special for us. The food content and choice was a little poor considering the selection availability on offer. We wouldn’t recommend to others.
Well worth the tour

5.00This was a great tour and Joel was a great guide. Joel chose the best street food that was authentic Malaysian. The food stalls made great local cuisine and Joel did a fabulous job of explaining everything about the local cuisine and culture
Ordinary not worth the price

3.00A reasonable experience. Nothing to write home about. Usual dishes from food courts and street stalls. Not worth the price. Save the money and just go and eat Nasi Lemak or Roti Chennai at one of the food courts. There is very little curation involved here.

4.00We really enjoyed our evening out with Joel. He is a mine of information on the food and culture and we had some great dishes including dosa with coconut and tomato chutney, roti canai telor with kurma gravy, nasi goreng kampung and more. The best one was Uncle Bob's Beef Rendang, delicious, especially with the peanuts and anchovies! Joel also had great advice on places to avoid and what to look for in street food. He was kind enough to walk us back to the train station too!

Food was authentic and delicious. manjeet was able to discuss foods of not just Malaysia but other parts of Asia. We felt we learned a lot about Malaysian food through her and our experience

5.00Wonderful tour guide TK completely customized it to our limited schedule and gave us a wealth of knowledge and info. He was passionate about his job and it was far better than we were expecting! We got to see tons of places in KL we otherwise would have missed, and learned a ton about the city’s short history and cuisine trying multiple different meats, dishes, and learned a lot
