Fantastic food tasting

5.00Fantastic introduction to Kuala Lumpur food and with a fantastic lady Manjeet who was a wonderful very knowledgeable host. I learnt about how their dishes are a blend of Indian Malaysian and Chinese influence and tasted fantastic food in authentic settings. We eve. Went on the train to sample an Indian restaurant that made their curry with noodles. Only issue is when you are just one person too much food. It was a wonderful start to my holiday and Manjet was lovely company. Highly recommend this tour

5.00We had a great experience. Guide was wonderful. He explained out the malaysian influences in food. We walked to a couple of spots. Nothing too hard. He explained the history of KLM and showed us sites along the way. The food was incredable. We ventured back to one of the eateries the next day. Very informative and enjoyable experience. Thanks Poven.

5.00Great experience. The guide curated a variety ofspecial dishes to taste. Several Malaysian dishes, a couple Indian and a couple of Chinese. There was more food than I could eat, and I ended up carrying some of it back to the hotel. Faris was very knowledgeable about food and provided a wealth of background information on each dish.
Eat it if you dare. Love every bite

5.00Zach absolutely made our KL trip! This guy's a former chef and it totally shows - he took us on an incredible food tour to the places that we never would've found on our own. We're talking amazing street food at spots only locals know about. Everything was delicious and stuff we definitely wouldn't have been brave enough to try without him. But it's not just about the food - Zach's also really into history and shared tons of cool stories about the city and the different neighborhoods we visited. He's super friendly and easy to hang out with, just felt like exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend. If you're a foodie visiting Kuala Lumpur, you absolutely need to book Zach. Hands down the highlight of our trip!

Great intro to KL tour

5.00This is an excellent walk-about intro tour of center city KL. There is a good (and very filling) sampling of food from various SE Asian cuisines along either side visits to local sites you might not get on a general city tour - ancient temples, street art galore. The host is knowledgeable and delightful and happy to tailor your tour to your interests or dietary needs.
