Walking Tours
Although it is possible to walk around specific areas of Kuala Lumpur, such as China Town or Masjid Little India, the busy main roads that crisscross the city can make any attempt at a comprehensive walking tour daunting. It is much safer to use one of the many available public transport options to travel between sights. Tour East (tel: (03) 8314 5899; website: www.toureast.net) offers an evening stroll and dinner tour. The tours commence with a walk around the Central Market, culminating with a trip to the Menara Tower for a dinner at the revolving restaurant. Pick-up and drop-off at city hotels is included.
