Paul was a great guide for my trip to Kuala Selangor. We had over an hour in the car each way and it was a pleasure to chat with him and learn more about Malaysian history and culture. We had an amazing dinner with the best prawns I have ever tasted and a lot of other delicious food. Highly recommend Paul :)Great guide, very informative

Our tour with Pak Champ started off strong, and kept getting better and better. Quite a lot of driving is involved, but the time in the car flew by with Champ’s friendly conversation. He is very knowledgeable on Malaysian history and culture and kindly shared his insight with us, answering all of our questions. The tour seamlessly blended the best of Malaysia’s natural attractions with its history and culture. We saw scenic lookout points, colonial heritage sites, an exquisite Hindu temple, fed friendly monkeys, and took a magical boat ride along the river to see glowing fireflies. We definitely recommend this tour and Pak Champ as a guide. Magical and educational tour

Adnan arrived on time and was very pleasant his car was very comfortable and clean A good start we went to the places specified on the website and all in all it was nice to be on a private tour however the following day we went on an asni tour and the guide was a lot more informative than adnan we felt his local knowledge was lacking a little. On arrival at the seafood restaurant we were encouraged to try the mantis shrimp and looking at the menu we thought each shrimp was 35 ringgit and we were rushed by the staff to decide . we opted for 4 shrimp and a rice and vegetable dish. This turned out to be very expensive 409 ringgit (about £80)!! In the end we felt that adnan should have advised us how expensive it was and the price of 35 was for 100 grams not 1 shrimp as we were rushed to choose, this was not evident. The rest of the tour was ok and the fireflies a unique experience on a row boat instead of motor boat although could have been a bit longer than 20 mins .adnans knowledge of the local flora was limited and we ended up correcting him on some points however We appreciate this was a bespoke private tour and hence more expensive than the run of the mill tours . But we thought a little overpriced for the knowledge adnan supplied. All in all a pleasant trip and adnan a nice chap but it was marred by the price of the meal . Other trips included a meal in the price with much more food. And a set menu although not the mantis shrimp. Would suggest going on a general tour for a third of the price.Fireflies tour could be bit better

We did the Firefly tour with Adnan, who was very understanding of the fact that he had to 3 boys to deal with during our day together, was flexible and managed well all our needs. We were picked up in an excellent car for all 5 of us, did some great stops. Adnan was very helpful to help us adjust our itinerary, for example we discussed NOT doing the dinner which we think with our kids was a great option, we spent more time with the monkeys, then went for a tea and some snacks on a local cafe and then straight to the firefly experience in rowing boats. by 9:45 we were back in KL. Basically quality and very personalized to our needs.Great Experience and Adnan was a great Host

Although we had a downpour on the way we still had a great time. We walked around the temple first and then went to see the monkeys. Unfortunately it was raining too hard to get out of the car to feed the monkeys but we sat in the car and watched them instead. We had a lovely meal on the way to the fireflies. Then we went on a boat to see the fireflies. There are only 4 of you per boat and it is paddled by a local guide. They take you down the river and show you the bushes with fireflies on them. They take you really close to the fireflies. We would recommend taking mozzie spray with you.Amazing tour

Adnan was a great host and ensured we had a fab trip! In brief, very comfortable air con car, good driver with a trip to the local hot water springs, followed by the Temple, the lighthouse with the monkeys, a sunset dinner by the river and the enchanting fireflies:) Although the visits were in themselves amazing, it was Adnan who made the trip so easy and enjoyable - ie parking near to every venue, purchasing any tickets, ensuring we had a table by the river to see the sunset and arranging a boat for just my husband and myself instead of the usual four people. He was very polite and courteous and waited for us as long as necessary. I would highly recommend Adnan as a host. Magical Evening with Fireflies in Kuala Selangor - highlight tour!

23 noviembre 2019

I (Belgian) was at Kuala Lumpur for a meeting which ended earlier than expected. So I had a day off. I found a guide at 12 and he was able of coming at 16. Though he came by his own little car, due to lack of time, it was great. First a little bit of silent but when entered the car he started talking and telling stories about the history, the nature, employment, living, politics, believe experience, food and even the chairs used in the local restaurant. The main things I really liked is that he referenced a lot to his own experience as a child but also as a parent. He also made a lot of comparisons between the old good days and now. Because he told from his own perspective I learned a lot on the differences but mainly on the similarities between our countries. We are just all humans making the same mistakes and enjoying from the same things on earth and in live. And off course the fireflies where amazing. In a rowboat gently down the stream, just sitting and enjoying from the sound and light orchestra ( qoute from pak's translation of this experience), realizing the Beauty of nature. Thanks greetings from belgiumLast minute but great...

Pak adjusted the tour, without hesitation, to do Batu Caves as well as the original Fireflies tour. Pak made impromptu stops throughout our to at Temples/Shrines etc. The information he provided on the history of these places was second to none and we were not rushed once during the 6 hour tour. When we went to see the Fireflies, Pak used his influence to get only the 2 of us on a boat rather than the usual 4 people per boat. As we say, it is who you know and not what you know! Such a true gentleman, would recommend Pak to our friends, if they ever come to Kuala Lumpa. We would certainly look him up when we visit again.Tour of Batu Caves & Fireflies

My family and I had a fun time experiencing the Magical fireflies evening tour with Adnan! The itinerary of this tour allowed us to take a break from the city and experience the more natural surroundings around Kuala Lumpur. Adnan drove us around in a comfortable air-conditioned car. His thoughtful planning allowed us to visit each site without feeling rushed. It was interesting to learning about the local history and culture through his perspective at each location. Some of the highlights of this tour include the visit to the hot springs where we got to dip our feet in the natural springs water, exploring inside the Hindu temple, enjoying a relaxing dinner by the river and of course the fireflies boat ride. The sight of all the fireflies blinking close to you on a rowboat with my family was definitely the most unique aspect of this tour. Overall, Adnan’s chill personality created a relaxing atmosphere for my family to enjoy the trip. He taught us a lot about the Malay culture and life in Malaysia. Thank you Adnan for sharing your time and knowledge with us. A special way to explore beyond the city!

For our second tour with Pak Champ we went to see the Fireflies which did not disappoint. We started the tour with a drive through the country side, unfortunately the traffic did reduce our schedule and visiting time to go into a Hindu temple and the visit to the fishing village (Friday 4.30 pm is therefore not a good time!!) The temple was just catching the sun as it was going down which highlighted its pink stone and features of elephants. The next stop was the fort and sun set over the Straits of Malacca, then the silver leaf monkeys which were settling for the night. Time for a roti, eaten with fingers and enjoyed with a local coffee. The timing of our arrival for our trip down the river for the fireflies was perfect and “lucky” as we had no queues and a boat to ourselves. That these tiny beetles could preform almost like an LED light show is amazing, with the paddled boat quietly taking us around and then the call to prays from the mosque, we had a little bit of extra magic to this tour. Thanks to Pak Champ we had experienced another amazing tour booked through Withlocals.A little bit of magic

My husband and I took the tour named "Magical evening with fireflies in Kuala Selangor" with Adnan. Before booking the tour, Adnan was able to help us customize a part of it. On the day of the tour, Adnan arrived at our hotel on time. He was not only professional but also knowledgeable about Malaysia and some global news. We enjoyed our conversation with him throughout the entire time. Adnan made the tour such a wonderful experience. My husband and I had a tasty dinner at one of the best tables in a restaurant while watching an amazing sunset. The highlight of the tour was the experience with the fireflies. The glittering creatures made every tree by the water look like a Christmas tree. My husband and I had a private boat ride and were able to get close to the trees and the fireflies. It’s one of the most romantic boat rides that I have ever had! The whole tour was about 6 hours long but time went by so quickly because we enjoyed every moment of it. Thanks to Adnan for taking good care of us!An unforgettable & awesome experience!

Adnan is the perfect host. He collected us from hotel on time, his car was clean and very comfortable, and he himself was very informative, friendly and funny. He took us to all the places we expected to go plus more, including some hot springs which are certainly not on the tourist trail, where we chatted to some locals for a while. And to top it all off, at the end of the evening, after we had seen the fireflies which were amazing, we met a couple of young ladies who were unable to find a Grab or an Uber to take them back to KL join us on our trip back to KL, and Adnan kindly allowed them to join us and gave them a lift back to the city. I would thoroughly recommend Adnan to anyone wanting to see different side to KL which you wouldn’t otherwise have seen! Thank you Adnan!Great evening experience with fantastic guide

We were shown down narrow alleyways in China Town which we would never have found and treated to some amazing food Malaysian, Indian and Chinese. Some in restaurants others at small stands serving maybe just four dishes. In the words of Siidoz, non of his guests ever finish a tour not feeling well fed, which was certainly the case. Many thanks to Siidoz for a fun afternoon of food and culture. Ian and Pat

We really enjoyed the tour! He was forgiving when we were unintentionally running about 15 minutes late in meeting him due to an unexpected problem earlier. He introduced us not just to the food we were eating that day, but also local specialties that one could buy in supermarkets and smaller shops as well. He also adjusted the tour itinerary and route to take into one of our party who was older - e.g. more frequent stops at public toilets if required, a slower walking pace, and a stop at a Chinese temple. Oh and the food was delicious - including the fact that we wanted to be challenged at least a little. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending others to book TK on a food tour. Thanks, TK!Friendly, informative, well paced.

He picked us up by car punctually at our hotel. It was useful to have Paul as our knowledgeable local person when visiting the sights. He could answer our innumerable questions, suggest lunch and dinner venues offering local cuisine and show us around in corners not highlighted in guidebooks. In summary, we can highly recommend Paul as a guide in KL.A memorable day in KL

His deep knowledge of Malaysian cuisine and culture enriched the tour, providing fascinating insights into each dish’s history and significance. Beyond his expertise, Povan’s friendly personality made the tour super enjoyable. He was fun to hang out with, always ready to share stories and answer our questions, making the experience feel more like exploring the city with a friend than a formal tour. We learned so much about the local food scene and culture, all while savoring some of the most delicious meals ever.Such a fun tour! A trip highlight!
