Kuala Lumpur Heritage Trail (Private Guide)

Kuala Lumpur Heritage Trail (Private Guide)

The heritage trail of Kuala Lumpur is an introductory tour to the historical and cultural background of the city.

The length of the tour varies depending on the pace of the group as we would be exploring the old quarters of KL on foot. This would allow us to maximize the sites we visit as old Kuala Lumpur is built rather compact across a 500m radius. 

Our visit entails the landing site of the early miners (KL namesake), the British enclave (Independence Square), the Old Market Square (KL first settlement), the Central Market, Chinatown and the oldest Chinese temple & Hindu Kovil in KL. The latter would allow us to gain an insight into the world view of the people of malaysia whose heritage is rich in diversity.  
*All tours are private in nature unless otherwise specified. 

Tours also includes a light local food sampling.

A private tour would typically begin with a meet and greet at the lobby of your hotel in Kuala Lumpur. 

At the guide's discretion based on the location of your hotel, we would board the rail/cab to the tour start point. 

Tour begins at the Independence Square (Heart of the British administration) where we would also visit the

KLcity gallery (admission included) for a visual narrative of the city's built heritage and progress. Your local host would guide you through the sights with stories of the early settler's lifestyle as well as the background into why and how the city came to be. 

Tour would continue to bridge overlooking the confluence of the river where KL was founded and on towards the site of the first chinese settlement. We would then stroll for another 100m towards the

Central Market for the food sampling. After which, the emphasis of the tour would be on our cultural heritage via visits to the temples and kovils. Tour ends at Chinatown where guests could take a leisure stroll at the open markets or visit some of the hidden cafes/restaurants/bars around the area (your guide would recommend :)
