This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Malaysia Tourism Centre, 109 Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur 50450 Malaysia
Tour start from Malaysia Tourism Centre, MaTIC, 109 Jalan Ampang, 50450 Kuala Lumpur.
Pass By: Merdeka Square, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia
Merdeka Square is undoubtedly KL’s best known landmark. Also called Dataran Merdeka, it is set in front of the Sultan Abdul Samad Building (the former State Secretariat). Directly in front is the Royal Selangor Club and to the north is St. Mary’s Church, one of Malaysia’s oldest Anglican churches. Within the colonial core of Kuala Lumpur, where the remnants of the British empire are especially evident, Merdeka Square seems to be nothing more than a giant field with perfectly manicured green lawns and a centrepiece of the tallest flagpole in the world (95m) proudly displaying the Jalur Gemilang (Malaysian flag). At the corner of Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman and Jalan Raja Laut, Merdeka Square is made up of a padang (field) that was once the Selangor Club cricket pitch
Pass By: Central Market Kuala Lumpur, Jalan Hang Kasturi, Kuala Lumpur 50050 Malaysia
Central Market is a place you cannot miss. It is actually located in this building called the Pasar Seni. Pasar Seni has been around for a very long time. It was first established in 1888. Central Market is exactly at the side of Kasturi Walk at Pasar Seni. A short walking distance away, is the popular Chinatown (Petaling Street) of Kuala Lumpur. Central Market's location is so strategic that there is no way you can miss this place
Pass By: Chinatown, Jalan Petaling, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia
Ask anyone who’s been to Malaysia about Petaling Street and they will cite it as a shopper’s haven, albeit in a different league when compared to its more glamourous counterparts, Bukit Bintang and KLCC. A well-known shopping district, the whole area transforms into a lively and vibrant night market after dark, with hundreds of stalls selling all kinds of stuff at dirt-cheap prices, making it the most happening night market in the city.
Pass By: Sin Sze Si Ya Temple, Jalan Cheng Lock Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur 50000 Malaysia
Sin Sze Si Ya Temple, built in 1864 by Kapitan Yap Ah Loy, is hailed as the oldest Taoist temple in Kuala Lumpur. Situated just a three-minute walk away from Petaling Street, the temple also functions as a cultural centre for the city’s Chinese community and is usually filled with devotees during significant occasions such as Chinese New Year. Sin Sze Ya Temple is dedicated to patron deities Sin Sze Ya and Si Sze Ya, who played significant roles in Yap Ah Loy's ascension to Kapitan status during the 19th century.
Pass By: Sri Maha Mariamman Temple, 163 Jln. Tun H.S. Lee, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia
South of Jalan Hang Lekir, tucked away on Jalan Tun HS Lee, is the extravagantly decorated Sri Mahamariamman Temple. Incorporating Spanish and Italian tiles, precious stones and gold in its design, KL’s main Hindu temple is an incongruous sight situated between two Buddhist temples at the edge of Chinatown. This large and elaborate Hindu temple was founded by Tamil immigrants, from southern India, who arrived in Malaya as contract labourers to build the railways and roads or work in the rubber plantations – its primary purpose was to serve as a solace from the rigours of their working life. Construction of the temple began in 1873 with plenty of ongoing restoration and embellishment occurring over the years.
Pass By: Kampong Bharu, Kuala Lumpur 50300 Malaysia
Old-world Kampong Baru owes its rural vibe to the traditional Malay wooden stilt houses here, flanked by coconut palms and banana trees. Chickens and goats wander the narrow lanes, and stalls sell street food like grilled fish and dragon fruit smoothies. A lively weekly night market sells clothes and handicrafts, while nearby Chow Kit Market is known for produce, spices and textiles.
Pass By: Petronas Twin Towers, Concourse Level, Lower Ground Kuala Lumpur City Centre, Kuala Lumpur 50088 Malaysia
Petronas Twin Towers were once the tallest buildings in the world. Now the world’s tallest twin structures, the 88-storey buildings were designed by Cesar Pelli & Associates with both towers joined at the 41st and 42nd floors (175m above street level) by a 58 metre-long, double-decker Sky Bridge. Standing 452 metres tall, the Petronas Twin Towers retained its world-title claim to fame until 2004 when Taipei's 101 was built, measuring 508 metres tall. Today, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai (opened in 2010) retains the spot as the world’s tallest building. Located in the KL city centre, the Petronas Twin Towers’ architecture is Islamic-inspired and the buildings primarily house the corporate headquarters of the Petronas Company and other offices.

Im April diesen Jahres haben wir eine Foodie Tour in KL gemacht. Unser Guide war Andrew, der uns nach einer kurzen Einweisung und Erklärung wichtiger Handzeichen sicher durch den Verkehr gelotst hat. Es war sehr spannend und wir waren ziemlich aufgeregt.... Auch wenn es mal gehupe gab, hat doch alles gut geklappt 😃... Das food tasting war ebenfalls sehr interessant und lecker 😋... zwischendurch bekamen wir von Andrew viele Informationen zu Geschichte, Entstehung, Religion und Besonderheiten der Stadt.... Ausserdem gab es immer wieder sehr schöne Ecken zu sehen und die Möglichkeit Fotos zu machen... Es war für unsere kleine Gruppe mit drei Personen ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis!! Danke an unseren sehr freundlichen und fürsorglichen Guide Andrew!!!Super tour en vélo pour découvrir ou redécouvrir KL. Une expérience à vivre. Merci Glan et Andrew, nos guides du jour !

Gids Apit nam ons mee naar plekken in Kuala Lumpur waar we normaliter nooit zouden zijn geweest. De enorme contrasten gezien tussen het leven in de kampong en de wolkenkrabbers, belangrijke highlights van KL als de Petronas twin towers, aangevuld met waardevolle informatie van de gids. En heerlijk gegeten. De Sunset tour is tevens een aanrader vanwege de temperatuur en natuurlijk de prachtige verlichting van de stad in de avond. We hebben genoten van deze bijna 4u durende fietstocht. Dankjewel Apit en Mike.
