Malaysia
Kuala Lumpur
Malaysia’s capital is a vibrant mix of cultures, ambition, and tradition, where street food is king.
About
Malaysia’s capital of Kuala Lumpur, or KL as it’s often called, was only founded in the mid 19th century as a small mining settlement. In 1886 a railway line allowed it to rapidly develop, and in 1896, Kuala Lumpur was made the capital of the Federated Malay States. Today, KL is the largest city in Malaysia, where the country’s Malay, Chinese and Indian communities have created a colorful feast for the senses. Glinting skyscrapers and giant shopping malls dwarf the city’s vibrant mosques and colonial manors. While Kuala Lumpur reveres its heritage, it’s also an ambitious modern city, as the riverbank-regeneration project and 1,483 foot tall Exchange 106 tower can attest. The favorite local pastimes are shopping and eating, so to do as the locals do, take to the streets on foot to discover the city’s more village-like aspects, incomparable street food, and friendly traditional coffee shops - you can always pop into a mall to cool off.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any questions, here are the answers.
Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.
For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.
Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time.
