2.Kuala Lumpur: Nightlife Walking Tour with Local Guide

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 33 reviews · from $25Best value

This two-hour Kuala Lumpur night walk starts at the KLCC Convention Centre and ends in KLCC Park. An English-speaking guide such as Zaq leads you through Bukit Bintang, Jalan Alor, rooftop viewpoints, UR-MU, and the helipad bar area. The $25 fee includes live commentary and four self-guided app tours, but not food, drinks, transport, or venue entry.

“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.”
