Wow! Paul made my afternoon of exploring perfect! I enjoyed our time together and learned a lot. He even shared information on the night market that the locals go to which put a bow on my experience. Would definitely book him again.Paul is great!

I enjoyed the tour of the religious sites in KL. As we made our way to each location, we also gained insights about other interesting aspects we encountered along the walk, as well as the history of KL. Paul is a wonderful guide who provides in-depth explanations to all our questions, making the experience even more enriching. wonderful tour

My family enjoyed this tour. We were supposed to leave KL in the morning, but our flight was bumped to later in the day. Not wanting to waste the extra time we had in KL, I booked a Temples & Mosques tour with Paul. The sites we visited were beautiful and we learned so much about the religions and cultures of Malaysia.Enlightening

Paul was such an accommodating and patient guide! He was meticulous to find out what our needs were and to customise a tour just for us. I struggle with a pre-existing medical condition and was needing a lot more breaks during the hike to the top of the waterfall which slowed the whole group down and never did he once get impatient with me. The best part was that he kept reassuring me that it’s ok to take my time. He’s such a chill guide but he was always, ALWAYS looking out for all of us. This is truly an unforgettable experience for my friends and I and I have Paul to thank for this! I recommend him most enthusiastically to anyone who wants to have a caring and patient guide. What an AMAZING experience!

Paul knows a lot of stuff, I start from here because I think it's interesting a guide gives you more information than regular, another good points: he is gentle, sweet, has a great conversation and of course, he knows how to get your attention, so if you need to get to know Kuala Lumour, Paul is the one Cool and fun experiencie

I wanted to do a tour of temples and caves at short notice but couldn't fit the advertised times into my schedule. Paul was able to adapt the itinerary to fit round me and was so helpful. Once on the tour me and my teenage son had a fantastic time...we learnt so much that simply would not have been possible wandering on our own. I would definitely recommend a tour with Paul whilst you're staying in KLRecommended!

We went on a tour to look at different mosques and temples around Kuala Lumpur. Paul was awesome!!! He was extremely knowledgeable about the places we visited as well as any topics we brought up about Malaysia. He was punctual and very flexible. I would highly suggest going on a tour with Paul. It was one of our favorite things we did on the trip. We also suggested him to a group of our friends who went the next day and had a very similar experience. He is highly recommended. I wish we could have done another tour with him. Amazing Experience!

We had a great time with Paul, and learned so much about the multi-cultural and multi-faceted history of Kuala Lumpur - and Malaysia more broadly. As the national mosque was not open for visitors at the planned time (as it was a Friday), Paul planned and incorporated an alternative that was a great option and much appreciated. He readily answered my many questions, and was easy to converse with. I would definitely recommend Paul to others. Very comprehensive and informative tour

paul is super friendly, outgoing and very knowledgeable. we are not the typical tourists as we live in KL and at the same time we were eager to see new places and a very local touch. paul showed us fabulous places from various cultural backgrounds that we didn’t know. and a few times, we have discovered something new in areas that we have been to regularly. absolutely recommended to do a tour with paul! fantastic day with paul in KL

What a fantastic introduction to KL. A simple yet incredibly great way to be introduced to and understand the city. Paul was a fantastic guide, stories of his childhood and life in KL during changing times made for a thoroughly informative journey through the city. We would absolutely love to see Paul and explore more of the city and the rest of Malaysia as soon as possible! KL walking tour with Paul

Paul war sehr zuverlässig, freundlich und sehr in den Themen bewandert. Wir hatten einen sehr interessanten und abwechslungsreichen Tag mit unvergesslichen Eindrücken, die wir ohne ihn nie gehabt hätten. Durch seine ruhige, authentische und sympathische Art, konnten wir die Zeit genießen und er ließ uns immer genügend Freiraum eigenes zu entdecken, um ihn anschließend mit Fragen zu löchern. Für uns drei ein unvergesslicher Tag! Vielen lieben Dank Paul! Vielseitige Tour durch Kuala Lumpur

Die Kommunikation im Vorfeld war super und unser Guide nahm uns bereits beim Aussteigen des Shuttlebus in Empfang. Er berichtete uns viel über seine Heimat und fuhr uns zu den vereinbarten Plätzen und begleitete uns hierbei. Wir fühlten uns sehr gut aufgehoben und würden die Tour immer wieder buchen. Super Ausflug

The tour started out badly. The celebrity cruise ship coordinated the visa’s and passports, and our shuttle bus took us outside the port to a central meeting area. Paul and another “with locals” guide were waiting at the terminal, while all other tour companies were waiting in the meeting area—why did they know about the meeting place and our tour company didn’t? After contacting Paul about our location, it took him 40 minutes to meet us. After this poor start, the tour with Paul was very good. Paul was very knowledgeable, and friendly. We would suggest taking the trip to the top of Petronas Towers versus standing in front of the building for a picture. Tickets must be purchased on line. You stop at the 41st walkway for pictures and then go to the 86th floor. You need to read about Batu Caves before the tour. We elected to skip this stop—lots of steps and time consuming to see several temples built into a mountain. Also enjoyed Chinatown, Independence Square, Central Market, and tour of the city and then returned to the ship. As a last note for the company, it would have been nice for a private tour to have a bit larger car (doesn’t help that I’m tall), and some water in the car (we did bring our own as a backup). Private tour and plannd our own events

If you have some days in the Kuala Lumpur area, you should go to Malakka. A wonderful city with a colonial city center, a lot of temples and - of course - an amazing china town. Try the riceballs! You should not go by bus. Take it easy and go by car. Paul is a secure driver and he will bring you safe to your destination. Without a guide like Paul you will not understand the history of Malakka and the story behind the buildings. Paul is a fantastic storyteller, from whom I learned not only a lot about the history of the city, I also get deeper into the malaysian way of life.

Paul made my 24 hours in Malaysia so special. I would not have had such a good trip without him. He made such a perfect schedule for me and helped worked around my schedule to ensure I could maximize my trip as much as possible. When we went to the night market for the first night he helped show me so many delicious foods that I would not have known about on my own. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to have a true local experience! PAUL IS THE BEST GUIDE EVER

We enjoyed discovering Melaka with Paul, specially the babanyonya history as that was totally new to us. We visited the town at a leisurely pace and Paul took us to a lovely nyonya restaurant where we treated him to lunch before going to the Heritage centre which was fascinating. He timed the visit well and we got back to KL without being stuck in the infamous trafic jams. Interesting and well-organised day

My Husband and I have just experienced the most wonderful walking tour of Kualar Lumpur with Paul Wong. Wow! What a fantastic guy. He is so knowledgeable, having been born and raised in this magnificent city. He gave us a great insight into the best tourist attractions, with lots of hidden gems thrown into the mix. We would never have discovered these places on our own. Paul is a very friendly, patient, interesting man, and his knowledge is truly amazing. We thoroughly recommend him as a tour guide. Thank you Paul, looking forward to seeing you again very soon!Nothing beats 'insider knowledge'!
