Free walking tours in Kuala Lumpur

Le pongo 5 estrellas porque no me dejan ponerle más. Es genial el tour con Hakim, es muy animado y agradable y sabe muchísimo, una caja de sorpresas.

We joined this free walking tour with high expectations, but the overall experience was mixed. Our guide shared several personal stories and even took us along part of his usual morning routine. We stopped at a café where he encouraged us to try certain items, which we eventually paid for, and he also made a couple of personal stops to buy water and a newspaper. While some moments felt intimate and gave us insight into his life, the approach came across as rather unprofessional. The tour itself covered only a short distance and included just a few points of interest. The guide also insisted on taking photos of us, which felt unnecessary. At the beginning, he mentioned that we would be the only two participants. I expressed some discomfort about this, and although he reassured us it would be fine, it still felt a bit awkward. At the end of the tour, we offered a tip that reflected our budget and the quality of the experience. However, the guide insisted that it was not enough because he needed to pay GuruWalk. Even after my husband explained several times that we couldn’t give more, he continued to pressure us, holding out his hand and repeating the same message. Only once he received an amount he found acceptable did he let the situation end. This final interaction was very unpleasant and overshadowed an already average tour. I hope this feedback helps improve future experiences for other travelers.

Hakim ist ein toller Guide und die Tour hat wirklich Spaß gemacht. Ich habe etwas bedauert, dass ich während der Tour weniger geschichtliches und politisches als erwartet erfahren habe. Dafür hatte Hakim super viele Empfehlungen für uns was Sehenswürdigkeiten, Restaurants, Transport und vieles mehr angeht :)

Hakim is very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. We even got to taste the local fruits and soft drinks. Thank you

Best walking tour I’ve ever done. Hakim is absolutely brilliant. If you do one thing in KL, do this!

Such a perfect way to see the city and learn about Malaysia! The guides have a passion for the history and the culture they are teaching you - they are so accommodating and they want you to experience the place as much as see it and take photos. Could not be happier and could not recommend it enough!!

Hakim is very knowledgable but also delivers information in a relaxed casual manor so you absorb it. An excellent 3 hour tour that went too quickly. Well done Hakim. Kind Regards Roland & Ruth

If in Kuala Lumpur you must do this tour.

What a great walking tour! Hakim was such a great tour guide. He has a fabulous energy and so much knowledge! After doing a hostel walking tour yesterday that was less than impressive, it was such a relief to go on Hakim’s tour. It is a good amount of walking and the little trip on the subway was lovely. All the spots we visited were interesting and Hakim shared lots of good information at each spot. We got to try some fruit and drinks along the way and then he shares a wealth of information he has collected about KL and Malaysia with you at the end that will help you have a great rest of your time here. Don’t miss out on this tour!

Muy buena experiencia, sabía muchísimo, varias paradas, probamos frutas y lates. Muy interesante. A la noche fuimos a comer a un lugar recomendado por el guía, estuvo bueno, conocimos gente con la que compartimos el día siguiente.

Hakim’s tour was better than expected! Thank you so much for sharing about your culture.

The tour to batu caves with Thiva was amazing! He told us amazing stories about this place and took us later to the market to eat some tropical fruits! Highly recommended

He was really respectful, knowlegable and showed several lenses to the same topic. He was an expert in Hindu religion. This visit would not be the same without his explanation and look into the places.

Muy buen guía turístico, bien informado sobretodo, ciudad detalles historia etc. Además muy simpático y siempre atento a responder todas las dudas.
