Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Treat your feet and your taste buds to a 3.5-hour interactive walking (If drive for Private tour) tour takes you on a tasting tour through the alleys and narrow ways of Kuala Lumpur and its suburbs by foot/drive.

The history of Malaysia is alive and can be experienced on a plate. Check out the Brickfields neighborhood area where there is strong Indian influence in the architecture, the music, and the food. Sample a delicious serving from a banana leaf where the food is the king without the tourist glitz. Seek out the sweet vendors where you can enjoy a fresh banana fritter, sticky sweet gulab jamu, or the local favorite: cendol (which is made of shaved ice, plum sugar, kidney beans, and coconut milk jelly!)

Stop 2

Hop onto the local transport system to be swept from India to China (if by car option will be transfer by car). Bustle your way through Chinatown for a totally different vibe. Tuck in some wonderfully tasty noodles and sample some refreshing lime juice whilst taking in the action all around.

Stop 3

Finish off with a coffee at an old-school coffee house where you will able to see the evolution of the city through photos from the past. As you let your stomach rest a little, your local guide will be able to help you plan your afternoon, and more importantly, recommend somewhere great for a fabulous local dinner.
