Day 1 – Arrival in Kuala Lumpur
Arriving in Kuala Lumpur, you’ll be collected at the airport and transferred to your hotel in the heart of Bukit Bintang, one of the trendiest districts of the city. Bukit Bintang buzzes on a 24-hour basis, and you’ll be in the hub of the action, surrounded by shopping malls, restaurants and foodcourts. It’s a great base for exploring KL.
Day 2 – Cultural & culinary city walk
Today we’ll arrange a walking tour in a small group with other travellers, to explore historic and culinary Kuala Lumpur with your English-speaking guide. Your guide knows the city well and this walking tour takes you to some lesser-known areas of KL. The city has only developed into a modern metropolis in the last few decades, and it’s still possible to discover the original Kuala Lumpur. Along the way you will also stop at small street stalls where you can try some typical Malay food.
Alternative experiences
There’s so much to see and do in Kuala Lumpur and we can offer a variety of activities and experiences. Learn about the flavours of Malaysia on a fun and interactive cooking experience, take a trip out of town to discover the temples and shrines of the Batu Caves, or explore the city on a guided bike tour. If any of these sound of interest, ask your Travel Specialist for more information.
