Experience you'll not get if you are on your own - This is a tour which brings you to places where you don't normally go if you are on your own. Lewis, our tour guide, brought us to experience hands-on on flipping Roti Canai, pull Teh Tarik, went through the procedure in a Chinese Temple to get rid of the bad luck, watch how they bath the god in an Indian temple, etc. Lewis also bought us local foods to try, roti canai with kaya (this is something new to me), and the original taste cendol. The Walk is well structured, at a good pace, and enhanced by a knowledgeable guide, who has the customers' interest at heart.

Best city tour ever! - If you really want to get to know Kuala Lumpur, this tour is an absolute must. Lewis is not only a guide, but also a defender of the preservation of the KL heritage. With passion and enthusiasm, he and his trainee Yi Hao took us into the city's past, the different religions and the delicious food that plays an important role in Malaysian culture. The strength of the tour was mainly in the fact that they really let us experience everything. In the temples Lewis let us perform the most important rituals and in the restaurants we could not only taste but also played a role in the preparation of the food. The guides speak excellent English and the explanations were clear and to-the-point. We have become a lot wiser and have a much better understanding of the way people live in KL. Lewis and Yi Hao: thanks again for this valuable experience.

He took us through the hidden alleys in China Town and old little India town. He showed us a very different things about KL which impressed us alot. We walked and ate, the arrangements were absolutely perfect, the food are amazing which give us more experience. We learnt many things from this tour. Highly recommend to you if you want to see somethings different in KL Thank you for the tour.

Great tour with yummy food - Did this tour with Krishna yesterday. Ended up being just my husband and I. We loved it, Krishna was really knowledgeable and we felt like he wasn’t just telling us things you can easily read about. As for all the food sampling, that was yummy, great to try authentic foods. As we only had one day in KL this was a great way to experience and learn about it.

Nom nom nom, eat and walk through KL and experience heritage before it's gone! - Sean took us on a fantastic tour of Kuala Lumpur to many places I hadn't seen before and sadly may not see again. Our tour called "Eat, Pray, Walk & Love" tour was a very special insight to the heritage of KL through the buildings, history and food. Sean is very entertaining and informative and made learning about religion fun, eating a journey and discovery of KL an adventure. It is so great that young people can pursue jobs in this area and want to show of the culture and heritage. It was done in a very good way and would make me feel more comfortable to go into these kinds of cafes again by myself. It's really sad that the buildings aren't protected and modernisation seems like an unstoppable beast. In fact in just two years since my last visit I think that many buildings near the Hindu temple have gone, I don't remember there being a construction site there before, but I am not sure. I would say, wear comfortable shoes, bring your own water bottle (Be Tourist will refill for you before and after the tour) and definitely don't eat breakfast before!!!! We enjoyed teh tarik, roti, noodles and indian food! So much food and it was all really great!

great walk in the Old Town of KL - it was great walking around with Irene trough the old quarters of KL. She showed good knowledge of KL's history and cultures. That was very interesting.And like often happens when you walk through a city with a local, you get to see places you would not have gone to when being on yourself. So Thanks Irene for a very interesting morning in KL. However, please bear in mind that many of the tourists are probably not used to the enormous amount of sugar the locals like in their food and drinks. But hey, if one loves to taste the local food and drinks this can happen.

Tour guide - I went to Kuala Lumpur with my family for a tour. We felt very happy because this was our first time in Kuala Lumpur. We had a friendly tour guide with full of information but unfortunately the way he presented the information was improper and hard for us to understand. Map was provided but it wasn't distributed properly etc: not everyone received it.

Terrible - It’s the worst day for me, because, there’s barely enough to no space for pedestal walk, too many stairs and it’s very narrow for even one person to walk to enjoy the day. It’s very dangerous because i keep on bumping into people, plus, the building is very badly maintained some places like Sultan Abdul Samad building, the roof are just very old, it’s very dangerous because some of the pieces are falling off.
