If you are a nature lover or a wildlife enthusiast but have not tried going on a nightwalk, you are missing out! About 70% of the wildlife in tropical rainforests are nocturnal and will only show up at night! You will be surprised at how easy it is to observe animals at night. As Malaysia is a exceptionally biodiverse country is it especially worth trying out here. Do book one of my walks, you will not regret it!

We had an exciting and fun time with our guide Pauline. She's very experienced and knows all the little gems in the heart of the city! We started off with a tour with a beautiful view of Saloma and KLCC and we walked through Kampung Baru and Chow Kit and had the best foodie culinary trail at both places before heading off to the infamous Chow Kit market. We ended the tour with a nice intimate finish for drinks at The Chow Kit Hotel. I would highly recommend this trip for all locals and tourists alike. The pictures of the food we ate cant do justice to the amazing, amazing taste of Malaysia. Book a tour today to know what it's like first-hand!

A very interesting place for the whole family that provides fun, adventure and experience. However, the price for each theme park is quite expensive for the middle and lower class, especially those with large families.

My partner and I did the private 1/2 heritage and food walking tour of KL with Sean. We loved it! Sean is an extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable guide. We learned a lot from him and felt very comfortable asking questions. He is clearly passionate about preserving KL’s incredible heritage and should be commended for this! It was great to see him interacting with all the local restauranteurs and shop owners we visited along the way. The tour provides excellent insight into all different aspects of Malaysian culture. Highly recommended! Don’t eat beforehand as you’ll be given the chance to try a lot of food and you won’t want to miss out! I also did this tour about six years ago in a bigger group as a solo traveller and loved it then too!
