About
Malaysia’s capital is a city like no other. Along with a multi-ethnic population and a history of colonial rule, migration and the fight for freedom, it’s a fascinating stop for those travelling to the country.
Blending ancient history with decadent modern malls, sky bars and futuristic architecture, you might wonder where to begin. Let an experienced guide show you around the following stops during this half-day Kuala Lumpur city tour:
Petronas Towers: The number one place you can’t miss in KL, these impressive twin towers were the tallest buildings in the world from 1998 to 2004. Their iconic facade is still the most photographed image from KL – for good reason! You’ll have plenty of time to get your shots at a good viewpoint.

Cocoa Boutique: Next, you’ll get the chance to explore Malaysia’s largest chocolate shop and pick up some souvenirs for your loved ones (no judgment if that is yourself!).
Istana Negara (King’s Palace): Opened in 2011, this majestic palace replicates the style of royal residences in centuries gone by. Admire the golden exterior as you wander landscaped gardens peppered with pretty ponds and water features.
Sultan Abdul Samad Building: Built in the Moorish style, this incredible building blends European and Middle Eastern styles of architecture, telling tales of British rule and ancient sultans of the last century. To truly understand Malaysia’s history, this is one spot you won’t want to miss.
‘‘A walk down history and memory lane’’ — Rozita, Malaysia
Tugu Negara: The country’s national monument pays its respects to those who died fighting for Malaysia, particularly against the Japanese occupation during WWII. Your tour guide will explain this stop in more detail for the history lovers among you.
