“What a wonderful evening with Fala, our food guide, as well as Geraldine and Lois from NZ! Sampled the 3 different main types of cuisine around KL and was given the background and history of Malaysia - had a great laugh, soaked up the atmosphere, ate and drunk lots of different things we wouldn't probably have had the nerve to try on our own - it gave us the confidence to try some other dishes later on. We would thoroughly recommend this trip as a good way to experience Street food.”

Maybe slightly overpriced for what you get as street food is reasonable and the temples are free. Saying that, if you get Ronnie he will suit the tour to you and I really enjoyed it! He was really informative and adapted his normal Route to what I had done the day before! Well worth doing!”
