We are a couple of Australian seniors who experienced four, very enjoyable and interesting hours in Kuala Lumpur with Brendon. He took us to varied locations that we would never have found alone, while showing great consideration for our level of fitness. We stopped frequently to sample local food,accompanied by great conversation. Brendon is a very adaptable, friendly and professional guide and we have no hestitation in recommending both Brendon and With Locals for both young and old.Four Wonderful hours in Kuala Lumpur

Highly recommended to all travellers but especially those spending a short(er) time in the KL. Manjeet was guiding me to places I probably would have missed due my short stay and thanks to her, I learned a lot about the history, culture and religious backgrounds of this amazing city. She has a great knowledge and could answer all my questions. I had an extremely good time walking around with her, very grateful for the experience 🙏 💙Excellent tour with a great host!!

I was searching for a tour focusing more on history and culture in Malaysia and I couldn't have asked for a better guide than Manjeet. She tailored the tour based on my interests, she is passionate and super knowledgeable (I learned a lot about pf Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur) and walked me through the places I wouldn’t visit on my own (Taoist temple visit was fascinating). We had interesting discussions on a range of topics from literature to weather. It was really an enriching experience. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and engaging guide for exploring Malaysia's culture and history.Great day with Manjeet

We did the tour with Paul. He was very friendly and also flexible. Before we started the tour we already did the KLCC area on our own, so he adjusted his programme and took us to some other amazing places. Perfect time in KL!!

Brendon ist der ideale guide für Kuala Lumpur! Wir haben ihn für den ersten Tag gebucht, was unglaublich hilfreich war. Wir sind absolute Asien Anfänger und es war toll, was er uns an einem Tag gezeigt hat. Er hat sich komplett auf uns eingestellt und so waren auch unsere Teenager Kinder die ganze Zeit voll dabei. Er ist-wie alle Bewerter vor mir schrieben- wirklich lustig und gibt sehr sehr viele hilfreiche Tipps. Total empfehlenswert!Unglaublich hilfreich und informativ

Manjeet is a highly knowledgeable and cultured guide. Before the tour, she took the time to ask about my preferences, and on the day itself—knowing I had just arrived in Kuala Lumpur that morning—she was attentive to my comfort throughout the day. Her thoughtfulness and consideration made the experience very enjoyable. I enjoyed the break we took at a café, where I had Nyonya sweets along with a cup of kopi. It was a delightful and relaxing moment that added a special touch to the day. I highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning about history and culture. She shared a wealth of knowledge, not only about the sites we visited but also about other places and cities in Malaysia. Thanks to her guidance, my trip became a truly enriching and memorable journey.An Enriching Cultural Journey with Manjeet

We only had one day in Kuala Lumpur so we booked a tour with Brendon. We had a bit delay from the airport so we didn't have lunch but Brendon showed us a restaurant for a short en good lunch nearby the hotel. In 4 hours we discovered the highlights of the old and the new part of the city, tasted local snacks and heard about the history of the city. Brendon also advised a restaurant for dinner, where we enjoyed the roasted fish. We had a fantastic experience with Brendon : he is friendly, humoristic, flexible, an ideal guide to explore the city.

Spent a very enjoyable time with Brendon today - he knows plenty of hidden gems of KL and takes you to places that you would pass by as tourists. The old cinema, roof top bars, traditional KL food and stories about the old days of Malaysia and KL made the tour very memorable. If you want a great guide to show you the sites other folks miss out on then Brendon is your guy.You need Brendon to guide you round KL

23 febrero 2025

Our walking tour of Kuala Lumpur with Joel was a delightful experience. His warm personality and genuine enthusiasm for the city made us feel instantly welcome and comfortable. Throughout the tour, Joel created a wonderfully personal atmosphere, sharing interesting sights and locations while maintaining an engaging conversation. What really stood out was Joel's natural ability to connect with his guests. He has a gift for making everyone feel included and his friendly demeanor adds a special touch to the experience. The route he chose gave us a great overview of KL's diverse neighborhoods and cultural highlights. For those interested in diving deeper into KL's rich history and cultural context, I'd recommend doing a bit of preliminary reading before the tour. This will help you get the most out of the experience and allow you to engage more deeply with the fascinating locations Joel shows you. While the tour provides an excellent introduction to the city, having some background knowledge will enrich your understanding of the sites you'll visit. Joel's tour is perfect for travelers who appreciate a personable guide and want to explore KL's highlights with someone who clearly loves their city. His approach makes you feel less like a tourist and more like a friend being shown around town. Tip for future visitors: Don't hesitate to ask Joel questions throughout the tour - he's very approachable and happy to engage with guests!Friendly Guide Shows the Heart of KL

Manjeet is a great person, so nice, so knowledgeable. She already contacted us before our trip with tips and recommendation. For the tour, she picked us up at our hotel in KL downtown and took us to a Chinese temple. Then we drove back to Chinatown and she showed us many corners we would have never seen. We visited a Hindu temple, too and also were helped to taste some food on our tour without a doubt of what we eat could not be safe. She found a boba tea place to the wish of our daughter (11). Manjeet is so enjoyable, she answered all of our questions, she resonated with our children and we had good conversations and a really great time together. Would definitely recommend Manjeet and would for sure meet with her again if in KL next time.This is faboulus 🤩

He also waited for us for almost 30 mins because were late, but still spent full 4 hours with us, and even modified the tour on the go due to some rain. In only 4 hours we Brendon we have been - showed historical sites, with interesting intro into British rule and Malaysian independence, including the stories on how present malaysian scyscrapers are still driven by history - walked through streets of China Town and Little India, and explained how prayers in the Chinese temple work - given the taste of pandan (malaysian plant) - offerred to taste real hand made food (incl. paus), new hipster malaysian matcha and local ice cream - showed multiple fantastic photo places, incl. multiple street art sites AND different rooftop view platforms on Petronas - guided by Brendon through mqny interesting streets, and told fascinating stories about Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia - showed where can we buy gifts for our friends - and many more. Brendon also took care of our transportation within KL and even showed us a badminton store (badminton being my hobby). A great tour, a great guide. Marvellous tour with Brendon
