Phenomenal
I did this tour with TK who is super nice, super knowledgeable and just an all-round great guy. The tour was well paced, he knew about and pointed out all sorts of cool stuff, was great to chat with and just super friendly and chill. Now for the food: incredibly good. - Best curry puff i've ever had, by a long way. - I didnt know char siu could taste that good, in fact it felt like id never actually had char siu before this tour, because it was so good. It was like a completely different food - Peanut butter pancake, the stuff of dreams - Coconut pancake, the stuff of dreams Would highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants to check out the awesome food KL has to offer

Good in parts, but some areas could be better
The tour was ok and started well, with the first food stop being delicious. However at the 2nd stop a long monologue on how the guide was paid and hints towards the expected tip was not appreciated, particularly on a hot day in a hot restuarant with no air, which was a shame because the food was amazing, and we wouldn't have tasted this if solo. The last stop, Indian was 2 types of bread and some very watery curry samples to dip, no meet or rice, it wasn't great. We enjoyed parts but it did seem very expensive for what it was.
Response from the operator: Dear Ian, Thank you for sharing this so honestly. We are glad the first stop made a strong impression and that the tour introduced you to food you would not have found on your own. That is exactly what a Withlocals experience should feel like. That said, we are sorry the second stop overshadowed things. A guide discussing their pay and hinting at tips is not something we consider appropriate, and we will be addressing this directly. Our guests should feel relaxed and fully present in the experience, not uncomfortable. Your feedback on the final stop is also noted and will be passed on to help refine the itinerary. Kuala Lumpur has such a rich and diverse food scene and we hope the highlights you did enjoy left a positive mark. We would love to welcome you back for an experience that feels worth every penny. Kind Regards, The Withlocals Team

Tasting new dishes with the help of a local
We had seven tastings during our tour of popular places around the Central Market and Jalan Petaling area. We tried dishes that we would not have known about and enjoyed our guide's company very much. I'm sure if we had had bigger appetites we could have tried more and if it had been less hot (he gave us a couple of fans which helped). The claypot coffee was a highlight and made up for some dishes that were too spicy for some of us

Fantastic food tasting
Fantastic introduction to Kuala Lumpur food and with a fantastic lady Manjeet who was a wonderful very knowledgeable host. I learnt about how their dishes are a blend of Indian Malaysian and Chinese influence and tasted fantastic food in authentic settings. We eve. Went on the train to sample an Indian restaurant that made their curry with noodles. Only issue is when you are just one person too much food. It was a wonderful start to my holiday and Manjet was lovely company. Highly recommend this tour

Lunch time food tour
Excellent food tour with knowledgable and engaging guide. Not too far to walk between stops and we tasted a wide range of well chosen dishes. Recommend this to anyone who wants to experience real local food.

Why this scores 87
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The 10 Tastings of Kuala Lumpur With Locals: Private Street Food Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kuala Lumpur.
How much does The 10 Tastings of Kuala Lumpur With Locals: Private Street Food Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $34 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 The 10 Tastings of Kuala Lumpur With Locals: Private Street Food Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 The 10 Tastings of Kuala Lumpur With Locals: Private Street Food Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 255 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Kuala Lumpur, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The 10 Tastings of Kuala Lumpur With Locals: Private Street Food Tour?
+
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 The 10 Tastings of Kuala Lumpur With Locals: Private Street Food Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book The 10 Tastings of Kuala Lumpur With Locals: Private Street Food Tour?
+
Around 89 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The 10 Tastings of Kuala Lumpur With Locals: Private Street Food Tour 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.
