3.Nightlife Walking Tour with Local Guide

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 33 reviews · from $25

Walk Kuala Lumpur from the KLCC Convention Center through Bukit Bintang and Jalan Alor to KLCC Park. Your English-speaking guide, often Zaq, shares local stories, points out rooftop bars and food spots, and helps you see the Petronas Towers from excellent nighttime angles. The tour lasts about two hours and includes four self-guided app tours.

“Zaq was an excellent and very flexible guide. It was just my wife and I and he modified the tour to suit are needs. Walking around KL at night on your own you miss so many spots and insightful background. Zaq also took us to a small but very good food mall near the Pavilion. Would not have found this on our own. Highly recommended.”
