Culture shock rating
Worried we’re going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don’t worry, you’ll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Low
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Medium
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that’s on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you’ll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
High
You're out there in the global community! We’re going to take you down streets you’d rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it’s worth it.
Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Low
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Medium
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
High
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

Experience the hustle and bustle of the ever popular Pudu market and see first-hand how traders, local farmers and their customers interact as bargains are made and delicious street food is eaten! This particular market is popular amongst the locals and is a far cry from some of the other touristy markets in the city. There’s plenty of fresh produce and character to be found here and, charmingly, not much has changed in the past 60 years.
Your foodie and shopping adventure begins with a stroll towards Pudu, with a stop on the way to visit some small local stalls where we’ll load up on some seriously good breakfast eats. For Malaysians, breakfast is an important affair and we suggest that you too take it very seriously during your stay! Sample some fresh rotis (unleavened flat breads of Indian origin) with curry from one of our favourite vendors. If spice isn't your thing, we’ll steer you towards some delicious fried delights as well as some of our most beloved traditional snacks. While you eat, your guide will tell fascinating stories about the origins of Kuala Lumpur and where it all began.
Onward to the hustle and bustle of the market to hear traders sell their wares and customers get involved in some frenzied bargaining! See how chickens are slaughtered and then sold, discover many of the different local spices and witness different ethnic traditions co-exist in a market that effectively demonstrates what makes Kuala Lumpur so special and unique. If you would like to make some purchases, your local guide will be able to help in overcoming the language barrier and guide you through the bargaining process.
Before you go, don’t forget to ask your guide for tips on what else to do and what else to eat during your stay in Kuala Lumpur.
