The Royal Klang Town Heritage Walk gives an insight into the town's development, the foundation of the Selangor's monarchy and the British colonial administration from a period of the late 1800's to mid 1900's.
We will take visitors through fascinating streets and tell stories of people who played significant roles in shaping the town and her trade. Visitors will see old colonial government buildings, the royal gallery, the Sultan's palace, an old clubhouse, places of worship, an old fire-station and a former tin warehouse.
The guided heritage walk is a joint initiative by the Klang Municipal Council and Tourism Selangor to promote Klang as a must-visit destination. The guided heritage walk is open free to all visitors to Klang.
Join a guided tour around one of the oldest towns in Malaysia, the royal town of Klang, in the State of Selangor. Rich in history, tradition and customs, Klang began at the southern bank of the Klang River, which has been known about throughout the world in producing tin as early as the 15th century. Klang became the royal capital before it was changed to Kuala Lumpur.

Our guide is Shah. He was very knowledgeable and attentive to our questions. The walk was more than 3 hours as we were so interested and asked a lot of questions. Keep up the good work.

We ended up with Alex Raj, who took us for the guided tour. It was good, he was very knowledgable with lots of stories and information for the tourists. It did run a little long though, we ended at 12.45pm, but the weather was quite conducive. I did wish there was more walking , but I guess everything was quite nearby so in essence there wasn’t a need to walk like 5-8 km or something. A lovely experience overall

The tour was great. Our guide Jasmin was funny, enthusiastic, and passionate about showing the history behind this sleepy city. Highly recommend!
