(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!

This a must in KL! We had an amazing time trying all the best street food in places we would never have found without Siidoz. Siidoz was super knowledgeable and we learned about the history of KL as well as the street food culture. He was a great host. Our only negative was there was too much food!!! Must do experience in KL!

Siidoz was an excellent host and chauffeur for my party of 3. Since my disabled mother was joining us, Siidoz made sure that we could visit the sites that were most accessible with a wheelchair. His insight on the culture, news and food of the city was impressive -never leaving a dull moment.fun tour of KL sites

27 mayo 2025

We were thrilled with the decision to book a tour with Adnan, who both took us to the well-known places in Old KL we had requested and also showed us some fun spots we would never have found on our own. He was right on time, easy going but informed, and kept a great attitude throughout the day as we got hotter and one of us kept on shopping. He introduced us to some local food treats and answered a slew of questions about Malaysia. We highly recommend him as a tour guide!Awesome half-day intro to KL with Adnan!

Manjeet is an absolute professional in every way. Her passion for food, zest for life, attention to detail and the ability to connect with us and deliver a really personalised experience was nothing short of fantastic. Manjeet can draw on her own life experiences to enrich the tour experience. We loved our time with Manjeet and appreciated the extra suggestions too.

We asked Tony to take us on an unusual tour of KL to help us understand the city neighbourhoods. He has an excellent understanding of KL and was able to meet every request we made. The whole day was totally customised to what we asked to do and Tony worked hard to always be a step ahead of our requests. He was very friendly and supportive to our whole family and they all enjoyed his company.Wonderful guide for families

It was a pleasure to mee Manjeet, and she is such a knowlegable guide! Gave great insight into the histories of the cultures that comprise today's KL. I must admit I mostly signed up because of the food element of the tour, and that did not disappoint, but I was surprised and delighted to get such a clear explanation of the temples we visited. It was most interesting to end the tour at Independance Square which is a such a great contrast to the previous parts of the tour. Great introduction to KL

Had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon food tour. Siidoz is very easy to get along with and very knowledgeable on the food and local Culture and the area surrounding Central Market. 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.

Our three-person family visited KL for the first time and wanted to also learn about the area and Malaysia in general. We hired Paul to guide us for a full day and are so glad that we did. 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

Manjeet exhibited a high level of professionalism, and we gained valuable insights into the food and culture of Kuala Lumpur. The tastings were thoughtfully organised, and we appreciated the multicultural nature of both the city and its cuisine. Ten tastings left us satisfied, so no dinner was necessary after the tour. Thank you, Manjeet, for a wonderful day out. Great day in KL

Manjeet is knowledgeable, helpful, and fun to be around. She explained the different foods and different restaurant types. She summarized local history to explain why there is such culinary diversity. She patiently answered all our questions about KL, many of which had nothing to do with food. Knowing we were going on to Melaka, Manjeet even sent us a Google Maps guide to restaurants and sites to see there. We will definitely follow her recommendations! Excellent tour!
