More a walking tour with food rather than a traditional food tour but very enjoyable nonetheless
Firstly let me start by saying our guide Danny was superb - very knowledgable amusing and informative and most importantly great company. I would request him if you can….we were lucky as there were just two of us when the average is four and max is eight - four would have been ok but eight would be too many. The tour was over three hours amd we covered lots of ground in and around the food market and “the village” as Danny called it Kampong Bari and only had three food stops, fresh noodles. Celon (a sweet) and a main Malay curry meal which was enough for us but others may want more. Very high quality and as much as yiu could eat! Starting at 4pm is too late as the food market was closing down and at least one stop Danny wanted to make was closed - our advice would be if possible do the morning tour (we couldn’t) or start no later than 3pm. That said it was very good but more a walking tour with food rather than a food tour per se so don’t take any heavy bags and even a DSLR was too much as we covered about 10k and sont take young children. That is an important distinction as it is more expensive than the average food tour at c£50 per head so if you want quantity and not quality and not a lot of walking then this isn’t for you.

Very good all round experience
Shah gave us an excellent tour of the central market with the opportunity to sample lots of local cuisines. The tour was very interactive and fun. We appreciated that he worked around our booking for the Petronas Towers. He helped us navigate round the MRT. The evening was finished off with a very tasty meal at a local food court - it was absolutely delicious. Many thanks Shah!! Julia, Andrew, Emily and Will

A tour not to be missed!!!
Our guide, Danny Ng, was the best! He went out of his way to check in with us regarding our particular needs and requirements and then crafted an amazing tour of the Chow Kit and surrounding area. He really went well over and above what we anticipated from the tour and we will not hesitate to recommend him to our friends and colleagues … his tour is not to be missed!!!

The Real Kuala Lumpur
If you would like to get a window into the real Kuala Lumpur then going on this tour is a must! The sights, sounds and especially smells of Chow Kit market will stay with you long after the tour has ended. With Jackie we had an opportunity to taste ingredients and prepared foods from Indian, Chinese and Malay cuisine. The wide range of foods was paired with history as well as discussions around current life in KL. Thank you Jackie for an informative and thoroughly enjoyable 4 hours!

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chow Kit Market, Kampung & Murtabak: Real KL Revealed: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kuala Lumpur.
How much does Chow Kit Market, Kampung & Murtabak: Real KL Revealed cost?
+
Prices start at $16 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kuala Lumpur usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Chow Kit Market, Kampung & Murtabak: Real KL Revealed take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kuala Lumpur is not rushed.
Is Chow Kit Market, Kampung & Murtabak: Real KL Revealed worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 88 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Kuala Lumpur, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Chow Kit Market, Kampung & Murtabak: Real KL Revealed?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Chow Kit Market, Kampung & Murtabak: Real KL Revealed suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 4-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Chow Kit Market, Kampung & Murtabak: Real KL Revealed?
+
Around 31 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kuala Lumpur can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kuala Lumpur and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chow Kit Market, Kampung & Murtabak: Real KL Revealed start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kuala Lumpur within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kuala Lumpur?
+
On Outty we rank every Kuala Lumpur experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sambal Streets Kuala Lumpur Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Genting Highland & Batu Cave Guided Day Tour (SIC/Shared Tour), Private Half-Day Batu Caves and Cutural Tour in Kuala Lumpur. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kuala Lumpur?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kuala Lumpur?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
