A city carved out of dense jungle almost two centuries ago, the Malaysian capital has come a long way since its tin-mining origins – but pieces of its history remain embedded in the glittering cityscape. With a local host who understands Kuala Lumpur, both past and present, you’ll get the full picture of this mesmerizing metropolis. Maybe you’ll move between iconic architecture (the Petronas Towers are a must-see, but colonial buildings and colorful mosques are equally captivating), or perhaps you’ll browse crafts and collectibles at mega-sized malls and fragrant markets. But in a city where street food stalls are as ubiquitous as its banyan trees, you might spend your day sampling local delicacies at hawker stalls recommended by your host.
