Great food tour! - This tour was excellent. Our guide Jay was friendly, personable and made it easy for the group to get along. I loved each of the foods, trying a variety of delicious things most of them new to me. Jay was super knowledgeable and the foods and how they fit in with Malaysian cultures.

We had a fantastic time... - We had a fantastic time exploring KL’s vibrant Chinatown and enjoying a wide range of delicious, authentic food. Our guide, Steve, was knowledgeable and made our experience. Without him, it wouldn't have been the same.

Hot, Busy, and Absolutely Worth It - Wow, what a great tour to ease you into Kuala Lumpur’s food scene. You won’t leave hungry. Jayani guided us through the busy Petaling Street markets in Chinatown, explaining the food, culture and how everything fits together. Group of eight worked perfectly, easy to move, chat and enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. Yes, the heat is intense, but it didn’t take away from the experience at all. Do this early in your visit, it sets you up for the rest of your time in KL.

A Must-Do Food Tour with a True Expert – Come Hungry - We had an amazing food tour with Neem! She is incredibly knowledgeable and truly a food expert – you can feel her passion in every stop and explanation. Despite managing a large group, she kept everything well organized and made sure everyone felt included. The tour was a fantastic journey through different tastes, flavors, and atmospheres – each stop offering something unique. If you want to really experience the local food scene, this is the tour to take. Highly recommended – and definitely come hungry!

Fun and delicious tour with Neem - Really enjoyed the tour with Neem. Ate some really delicious food and small snacks. Was really full by the end and happy for it. Would recommend their tours again. There’s 2 they do, the one I did was more focussed on getting the Chinese influence on Malay food.

A great tour experience - Amazing tour with Kiran who was so informative not Just about the food but also more widely on Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia as a whole. She really personalised the tour and was a great ambassador for the tour company. One piece of advice, come hungry as there is so much food!!

Great food - in some unusual places - A very good and very knowledgeable tour of lots of high quality, but perhaps lesser-known eateries. Our guide - Sam - was very good, and we really enjoyed all the food
