(About local Manjeet)

22 junio 2025

I interviewed many guides before finding Manjeet who I chose because 1) she seemed the most knowledgeable about food, history and culture (she’s a KL local!) and 2) she was open and supportive of me customizing my Malaysian tour experience so that my family and I got to see everything on our “must see” list in a short period of time. Manjeet is so kind and accommodating and was able to drive us around in her own very nice air conditioned car which was very comfortable and made our trip so convenient. She also taught my kids how to use the public transportation which was another fun experience. The best part is she was so kind to my children and even (out of her own expense) bought them gifts of Malaysian educational books which my daughters loved! Everywhere she took us we ate the most delicious food and learned so much. Manjeet is the kindest person and truly cares about giving her customers the best experience ever! Book her without hesitation she’s wonderful!Best of the best! Manjeet is wonderful!

Adnan took us round the main hotspots of KL and adjust to fit other spots from planned tour. He took us from point to point in a good vehicle and even took us to change dollars to Ringet. Overall we had a good experience and got a good grasp of the city on day one. He dropped us off at a different location as well.Orientation tour of KL

Siidoz was great! There was a person with a nut allergy in the group and he was able to adapt the tour to cater for this. There were also two children (11 years and 13 years). The tour was centred primarily around Chinatown with a good variety of food, both savoury and sweet. He was knowledgeable and engaging, particularly making sure the children were included. There was so much food so make sure you're hungry! Thanks!Great tour

Manjeet gave us the most fantastic food and cultural tour. From start to finish she was amazing! As part of the group we had one person who is coeliac (gluten free) as well as a 4 year old child. From pre-booking discussions we knew we were in great hands as she was really knowledgeable about being gluten free and even supplied a multi-language allergy alert card to use in Malaysia. The tour was adapted to cater for our dietary requirements (even going to a place where the chef is gluten free!) and the food was incredible - a good mixture of sweet and savoury! Our tour included a ride on the train to Little India, which the 4 year old loved, as well as a trip to a bakery. She included cultural landmarks and adapted the tour so we could see the padang and colonial area. She followed up with a list of all the food tried, as well as more details about places to eat gluten free within Malaysia! We cannot speak highly enough of Manjeet. She was engaging, knowledgeable, thoughtful and knew just where to find amazing food! Make sure you go on this tour hungry as there was so much food!! Thank you so much!Amazing!

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!!

We took the local street food tour of Kuala Lumpur and Manjeet was an amazing guide. She took us to many excellent food places and displayed a great knowledge about both the food and the city. Manjeet was also quite friendly. She was extremely diligent in ensuring our dietary restrictions (vegetarian) were adhered to. She also provided many other suggestions for things to do around the city during the rest of our stay, including a map of hand picked places to go in nearby Melaka, which we heavily relied on when our tour guide there was awful. As an final example of how great she is: Before the tour started, we had issues with getting a taxi, and she helped us to make a last minute switch to go by the Monorail instead by sending us very helpful screenshots and instructions of what sort of ticket to buy (it was our first day in the city and this certainly saved time given we were already late), and she even adjusted he order of places we visited to make this work. Finally, she gave us a goody bag of desserts since we'd enjoy them more while not so full! Wonderful guide!

Es war großartig mit Manjeet die lokale Küche zu erkunden. Wir waren zu 4 mit einem Vegetarier und sie hatte immer eine Alternative parat. Weil einer von uns die Schärfe nicht so gut vertragen hat, hat Manjeet ihre Tour dementsprechend immer wieder angepasst. Dazu hat sie uns auch sehr interessante Informationen über KL und Restaurants gegeben.Einfach nur toll!!

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 decided to book this food tour at the start of our trip and it was the best decision we made. Siidoz and his colleague gave us a great introduction to the local food and culture as well as answering all our questions along the way. We struggled with the amount of food but every single dish that we tried was delicious. A heartfelt thank you!Great start to our trip!

My family and I travel internationally often and almost always we hire locals to show us around. We were excited to do the same in Kuala Lumpur as this was our first time in the city. But we were disappointed with our experience. We were still hungry after the tour. Our guide took us to four different sites and made sure he chose the most inexpensive food items on the menu. Mind you we each paid over $39. We were surprised to know that the whole tasting experience will be done within the Jalan Street or the food street which to us is not really a local eating experience. It is not worth the hype or the money. Didn’t expect

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 did the ten tasting out with Manjeet and what a way to start our holiday! Manjeet is incredibly knowledgeable not just about the food but the history and stories behind each dish too. As we made our way through the streets of KL Manjeet explained the history around us. From the very start, she ascertained what we liked and then tailored tastings to suit us, with a few surprises on the way. She even very kindly bought us a few treats to take away and have later. Her English is perfect too, probably better than some of my English friends! We would highly recommend Manjeet, for her knowledge, humour, wit and she is just lovely!Fabulous!

Manjeet also shares loads of recommendations on your tastes, which we’ve followed up on with No disappointment. Our favourite to revisit was Kampung Baru and China Town Highly recommend KL Essentials

Manjeet was so passionate about the local food and being a local she knew so much about the history. She took us to places we would never have gone into because we wouldn't have known what to order. She took us on the local transport and explained how it worked so we were confident using it during the rest of our trip. If there is one tour you do in KL, make it this one. Excellent and the curry puffs were delicious. Thanks Manjeet Definitely do this tour with manjeet
