Bicycle Tour City and Countryside

Our exciting half day program takes guests from the City Hall to Kuala Lumpur’s downtown area and the iconic Sultan Abdul Samad Building and Petaling Street, where they enjoy a traditional Hainanese coffee before commencing on a fascinating ‘voyage of discovery’ by cycling. The path leads through a labyrinth of hidden alleyways that connects the new and the old of Kuala Lumpur.

This is ‘secret’ Kuala Lumpur, far from public view where a dark single file passage opens to secret morning junk market only ‘locals go to and unique historical gems. Discover hidden chinese green tiles and ancient shophouse ladders, delight at the fascinating old shop-houses and enjoy a refreshing drink at a ‘locals only’ store. Photo opportunities abound as a guide shares not only the history, but daily rituals and regimes that will intrigue and amaze. Getting lost and found again in these hidden alleyways is a truly rewarding and special experience.

We start from the British colonial area early in the morning, 7.30 am and finish off around 11.30am. We will ride to 4 major community areas where a hive of activity took place during Kuala Lumpur's heyday-tin-mining era. We cycle to Merdeka Square, Chinatown, Masjid India & Kampung Baru. You will have breakfast in Chinatown, where freshly fried chinese crullers are made. You will learn how it is made from a 3rd generation Chinese Malayan family. After that, walk through flea market alleyways. Cycle further to Indian Muslim community called Masjid India. Onwards to Kampung Baru, the last Malay village in the city. Visit the Malay Agriculture Settlement set up by the British in 1899, gazetted in 1900.

We end the ride with a refreshing drink and back to your starting point just before noon.
