Highlights & Hidden Gems With Locals: Best of Kuala Lumpur Private Tour

Meet your guide at the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station in the morning or afternoon, then embark on a private tour of the capital. This comprehensive look includes an eclectic sightseeing itinerary that can be customized according to your preferences.

After a look at the Moorish-style station, head to the National Mosque (Masjid Negara) for an introduction to the cultural diversity of the city, including Malay, Chinese, and Indian communities. Then continue on to glimpse the heritage buildings such as KL City Gallery around Merdeka Square (Dataran Merdeka) and learn how Malaysia declared its independence.

Get a panoramic view of KL before you browse the colorful stalls of Masjid Jamek Bazaar in Little India and sample a local snack. See the impressive Chinese temple of Sze Ya, wander down Petaling Street, and head to the Sri Mahamariamman Temple, a stunning Indian monument. You have lunch at a local restaurant where your guide can recommend a fragrant rice dish such as nasi lemak, cooked in coconut milk (own expense).

Next, grab a taxi or Uber to the KL Forest Eco Park where you reach the Canopy Walk in a few minutes — admission included. Finally, take another ride to your last stop, the Petronas Twin Towers, for fantastic photo ops.
