I really enjoyed this walking tour in KL - I had a great time being part of this walking tour. I didn't have much free time as I was on a business trip but I feel that I managed to see the most important parts of the city through this tour. My guide was friendly, insightful and funny. I highly recommend this tour!

extremely enjoyable and informational. - This was a fantastic tour. The tour guide, Alvin, was extremely knowledgable in the history of Malaysia and all the cultures that it is composed of. In each temple he was able to explain the religion, history, and even name all the gods and godesses. Alvin also went beyond the tour and helped us find a restaurant and transportation after the end if the tour. I would highly reccomend this tour and Alvin.⁸

Walking Tour with Alvin! - Fabulous walking tour with Alvin today. Alvin greeted me with a bottle of water and some treats that were most welcome. Alvin is extremely knowledgeable about the history and origins of KL, the buildings, the cultures, and customs. I was the only one booked in today, so had a great 1:1 experience. We stopped off at a bar to get a drink and wait out the rain shower, and he introduced me to his friends as if I was a friend!
I would highly recommend Alvin and this tour. A great way to acclimatise and orientate myself to KL.
Thank you Alvin!

A must do in KL - A great day out , we did the morning tour today and had a fantastic time. We saw a lot of things which we definitely would not have without the tour and learnt a lot about the city from a locals perspective. Would recommend this tour to anyone visiting KL, we were taken on the tour in a small group making it much easier to interact and ask questions along the way. Also super friendly and entertaining too , thank you.

Great tour - Great tour. Guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. He had a good sense of humour. We learned a lot about KL and saw places that we hadn’t visited before. We covered a lot of ground on a hot sticky day. You need to be relatively fit to do this your. It is all on flat ground, but over 10 km so not for the extremely elderly. We had a really nice day and I would book this tour if you’d like to learn more about KL all in a day!

Kuala Lumpur Walking Tour - To be recommended as the first thing you do when arriving in Kuala Lumpur. Walking tours really help you get to know a place. Alvin clearly enjoys what he does and is an excellent guide. He is enthusiastic and knowledgeable, having made an effort to learn about the historical and cultural background of KUL. He is equally passionate about history in general which means there are also many exchanges on various topics, should you wish to, as you make your way around an interesting selection of locations in a 3.5 hour walking tour. Money well spent. Thank you Alvin.
