Additional Information
Our exciting half day program takes guests from the Matic to Kuala Lumpur’s downtown area and the iconic Sultan Abdul Samad Building and Petaling Street, where they enjoy a traditional Hainanese coffee before commencing on a fascinating ‘voyage of discovery’ by cycling. The path leads through a labyrinth of hidden alleyways that connects the new and the old of Kuala Lumpur.
This is ‘secret’ Kuala Lumpur, far from public view where a dark single file passage opens to secret morning junk market only ‘locals go to and unique historical gems. Discover hidden hawker shops, heritage traders and enjoy a refreshing drink at a ‘locals only’ store. Photo opportunities abound as a guide shares not only the history, but daily rituals and regimes that will intrigue and amaze.

What a way to spend a morning, must do! - Brilliant bike tour with Elena.
Great speed of tour and information shared. So interesting to hear all the stories around certain places and witness the back street of KL. I felt very safe the entire trip. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing bike tour of downtown KL - We had a great trip riding around the city centre of beautiful Kuala Lumpur. Elena was extremely knowledgeable about the city and showed us some hidden gems, the village, temples, and street food to name a few! Highly recommend. A great way to see KL.

the people, food, sights and sounds of KL - we love to cycle when visiting as it's a great way to get the feel of a place. Elena was a great host, very knowledgeable on history of both places and people. Malaysia has such a complex history so it was great to have someone explain all this and put into today's context. We met many interesting people and very lucky to be present for a taoism initiation ceremony. We were taken for a local breakfast and also a light noodle lunch which was wonderful - i have the recipe and will attempt to make the same when home. thanks Elena for an anazing morning in KL

amazing tour by Elena and team - We had an amazing tour with Elena, Jason and Aiman. We were a big group of 12pax but they kept every one entertained and most importantly safe and sound. We saw many nooks and crannies of KL that felt really special. Definitely rate this tour as a must do in KL!!

Loved seeing KL from a bike! - Kudos to Elena and her crew for navigating KL's streets with our group of three families (11 teens & adults plus one child in a bike seat)! We had a fantastic tour of the city and appreciated the inside knowledge she shared with us.

Great way to see and explore KL - I was met with a big wave as I was waiting to cross the traffic lights and then a very friendly welcome. The tour left on time at 7:30 am and it was a wonderful four hours exploring Kuala Lumpur. I learnt so much history and interesting facts which really made my overall knowledge and experience of Kuala Lumpur much more robust. There were some excellent stops along the way for some local snacks from local merchants in the authentic markets. Something you wouldn’t get to experience on your own. It was really safe on the streets with clear directions and I didn’t feel unsafe at all. Highly recommend doing the morning tour to avoid the hot sun later in the day. A fantastic four hours.

Fantastic tour! - We loved our tour of Kampung Baru with Elena - she is a very informative guide and stopped off at some brilliant local food stalls (the roti in particular were delicious)! She was more than happy to take photos and tell us lots of stories about the area as well as offering advice on onward travel. Brilliant experience to see a different side of KL which we wouldn't have seen otherwise, would thoroughly recommend. We were a bit worried about cycling in KL but it was fine, Elena led the way with ease and we felt very safe. Bring bug spray if you are going to Kampung Baru is our only advice (we just left it at the hotel!)

A must do in Kuala Lumpur - You should put a bike tour with Elena on your KL List! I had a great time cycling around. First I was a bit worried, because of the traffic but I always felt safe and Elena has a very good pace to cycle around and takes care of you. In general she's a very lovley person! She teils you many interesting stories about the City, hard to choose 1 Highlight. Visiting the market was awesome, the old village in the middle of the modern City, the temple,... Time passed very quickly and I enjoyed every minute!
