100% recommend! - This walking tour is a must-do while in KL. Ben is a fantastic guide and extremely knowledgeable of the diverse cultures of Malaysia. When he found out I was a foodie, he tailored the tour to include more information about local foods, where to eat, what to order, and we even sampled snacks and drinks along the way. He is also a great photographer, knowing exactly where to capture the best photos along the tour. Thanks so much, Ben!

Fantastic - must do - Yen was a fantastic guide. Explained everything as we walked to each site and gave further information there. No question was too bothersome. Chinatown is a must. The whole experience with food tastes along the way was fabulous. I highly recommend this tour

A fantastic afternoon spent with Ben learning all about the city, country and wider region. We would recommend Ben ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - What a fantastic walking tour with Ben! Ben's knowledge of the culture and heritage seemed to know no bounds. It was a pleasure to spend the afternoon with him and hear all about the area but also further afield. The walk was at a relaxed pace so never felt arduous and no time wasted with minibuses. We give Ben 5 stars with no reservations ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍

Excellent and fun walking tour!!! - Yen and Chua communicated with me heforehand to clarify meeting point and time. What an incredibly informative session this was. Both Yen and Ben are very cordial and patient, and provided a lot of interesting tidbits of fun details. One would never know that Yen has limited experience with this tour…she was super! The tour pace was just right for me; they always accommodated whether I wanted to take photos or wanted to look some more or wanted to look elsewhere, etc.. Also wonderful suggestions of things to try in Chinatown. I had a really lovely time. Highly recommend this tour for people who like to walk mostly on flat ground.

Fantastic insight into KL from a local - We’ve been on many walking tours around the world and this was one of the best we have been on. A great mix of history, local insights and food tips as we walked around Independence Square, River of Life, Central Markets and Chinatown. Ben was a fantastic knowledgeable guide. It is refreshing to be able to hear from a local who is so passionate about his city. Many interesting insights on KL, great knowledge of Chinese and Indian Temples and many tips on where to eat. Well recommended.
