We loved our personal tour of Little India/Brickworks with Manjeet. Her knowledge about the area and the culture and heritage of the people living there was outstanding and she communicated it all so well. Manjeet has such an engaging style and we felt very comfortable asking questions and chatting with her. I thoroughly recommend this tour if you want an informed snapshot of the beliefs and culture of this area.Engaging and informed

We had a excellent walking tour with Manjeet in the brickworks (Little India) area. She pointed out unique buildings that would have been overlooked by a tourist and provided in-depth information about the people, culture and history. She had a wonderful personality and made you feel welcomed throughout the walk. Highly recommend.Brickworks Walking Tour.

We booked a tailor-made tour with Manjeet and our expectations were far exceeded. We even think that Kuala Lumpur without a tour with Manjeet means not having seen any of the city's hidden treasures. In addition to countless temples with extensive explanations, there were wonderful samples of a wide variety of cuisines. None of our questions remained unanswered and our wishes were more than fulfilled. We will book Manjeet again on our next visit.A amazing tour with Manjeet

I had a great evening on my tour of Little India with Manjeet. I was running late due to traffic and Manjeet kindly waited for me. Manjeet is very knowledgeable of the area, it's history and the cultures. It was a very informative evening at a relaxed pace. I would highly recommend.Little India Tour

We had a great morning exploring Litte India with Manjeet. If she would not have been with us, we would just have been strolling around without realising we were missing all points of interest. Lunch was an absolutely unique experience. Enthusiastic with a lot of knowledge

Started the New Year exploring Little Indian with Manjeet. We spent 2.5 hours wandering Brickfields, visiting a Hindu Temple - where I learnt about the Gods, and traditions. The streets were awash with colour as the walk to a Chinese temple and then onto bustling shops. We visited the flower market, where there were garlands being made for the temple. We finished the tour at the Indian Cultural centre with a vegetarian lunch. Manjeet is a delight and very knowledgeable. A great way to see Little Indian.Little Indian

We were lucky enough to experience the 10 tastings of Kuala Lumpur and Highlights and hidden gems of Kuala Lumpur with Manjeet as our host. My brother described Manjeet as ‘double awesome!’ We experienced the benefit of Manjeets extensive knowledge of her home town and country alongside her respect and passion for the lives and skills of the people of KL. We had such a great time and lots of laughs along the way. Highly recommended - just brilliant!Kuala Lumpur with Manjeet

My wife and I opted for a local food tour guide having done something similar some yrs ago in a couple of European cities. Manjeet was so much more than a food guide. Her love of her brief was obvious from the start. Easily the most genuine guide we have ever had. She took great pride in explaining the foods available in KL and delight in our positive responses, which was easy as they were fantastic. She also was very knowledgeable in the history and politics of the area which is a huge bonus as we are history buffs ." With Locals" company ,are extremely lucky to have someone like Manjeet representing them. Brendan and Joan Healy. Thoroughly satisfying.

Manjeet was an amazing host. She shared her favourite dishes paired with history, which was perfect for 3 Australians and a Malaysian (who is less familiar with history). She was flexible and open to some customisation. I would recommend her to anyone who enjoys meals with a foodie. We left absolutely bursting. Knowledgeable and tasty tour

From start to finish our tour was like being with a knowledgeable friend. Being taken around by a native KL-er who was as passionate about food as we all are was such a treat. Being taken to local food spots that probably we might not have had the confidence to try and eating/drinking Malaysian food with a lovely friendly local lady was such a treat. Be warned - you will be full if not before the end, at the end. Manjeet has a blog and also loads of tips about other places in Malaysia that she herself has visited many times. A brilliant experience that we won’t forget. Highly recommend Manjeet - such a pleasure. Best food/culture tour ever

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 🤩

Just what we wanted

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the Foodie Tour in KL. The local information and conversation you provided was interesting and enjoyable. The three-hour afternoon tour went very quickly. We would not have found the different food stops you that you took us too. Thanks for helping us with the taxi and our airport driver issue. Let us know if you want some Bushells tea.Thanks Manjeet for a wonderful afternoon

I would highly recommend Manjeet's Tour. She is friendly, personable, helpful and organised. She tells a great story of the diverse city that is Kuala Lumpur, and gives you the opportunity to visit eateries you won't find on your own. She is warm and engaging, and is generous in sharing her experience and knowledge with guests. Highly recommended. Fascinating and tasty experience

The afternoon with Manjeet was absolutely lovely. She took me to so many great places to show me the stunning variety of local food in KL. Along the way she explained so much about the culture, history and every day life in Kuala Lumpur. She even provided me with a lot of extra information and recommendations for my following week in town. Like a walk around kampung baru in the city center that she had curated herself on google maps. I would absolutley recommend exploring the food and culture of KL with Manjeet if you have the opportunity! Thank you again for a great afternoon :)Best guide for food, culture and history

Manjeet was great...I peppered her with questions on Malaysian life for 2 days and, as a native, she answered them all...and with stories you don't find in travel books. Plus, she really cared about us, even paid for our GRAB ride back to our hotel when my GRAB app wouldn't work. Also, unlike many tour guides, she speaks great English so she is very understandable. You will NOT be disappointed with Manjeet.The Great Culture Education

We hebben een zeer leuke stadswandeling gedaan, waarbij Manjeet vooraf input had gevraagd wat ons interesseerde en wat er in de wandeling moest zitten. Ze vertelde volop over allerlei aspecten en plaatsen van Kuala Lumpur, maar ook over Maleisië, de cultuur, het eten, de samenleving. Er is werkelijk echt geen onderwerp waarover Manjeet niks weet. We hadden een zeer leuke tijd.Gevarieerde wandeling met bekwame gids.

We had a great food tour with Manjeet that exceeded our expectations. We tried and experienced lots of new things. Manjeet is a great guide, it felt like spending time with a friend. She is very reliable, flexible, answered all our questions about the local culture and gave us many interesting recommendations for the rest of the trip. Great experience!

Manjeet was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, with an extensive historical and cultural understanding of every ingredient in the food we ate, explaining their preparation and how different people across Malaysian culture utilised them in their own unique cooking styles. She was able to answer every question we had about the city as we walked and happily persevered through a chronic back injury she was suffering at the time. The dishes were all unique and delicious and we enjoyed the scenic areas she took us walking through. We learned much about the history of Kuala Lumpur from our experience. Thanks Manjeet!Extremely knowledgeable guide

We were a family of four (Kids 9y and 11y) in Kuala Lumpur for a one day transit stop. We had a great time with Manjeet, the tour ran for 2 hours which was heaps for the kids, (Started at 6pm and back in the hotel by 8:30pm) We met at the Central Market and went to 5 places, lots to eat. You can see she really is passionate about her food. We would never have tried those places without her.Great Family Food Adventure in KL

Manjeet took us to places we would never have stopped at to eat something, exactly what we’d hoped for. She explained every dish, its ingredients and how it was made. We also got different drinks and fruits. After three ours we were very full and had experienced a world of new flavors, “but only the good ones.” She showed us what a great variety of dishes Kuala Lumpur has to offer thanks to the different cultures in this city.A great journey through different cuisines

Markus🇩🇪 Germany

30 June 2024

Manjeet is such a wonderful guide! She really took her time, explained everything in detail and gave us a very good impression of the city, its cultures and history. We walked around at a slow pace because of the heat, visited exciting temples, all the different communities and other places. She explained everything in detail and probably knows everything there is to know. Even after the tour she continued offering help and advice. It was a truly memorable experience!A great experience with a wonderful guide

We really loved her passion about the food, her empathy and patience!!! The tour was an amazing mixture of fantastic food, sightseeing and stories about the city, Malaysia, life etc. Interesting for both young and old 😀.

Had a wonderful 4 hours wandering around KL with Manjeet. She was very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and I felt I was exploring KL with a friend rather than a guide. Her love of the Malay culture was very obvious. It was extremely hot and we set a gentle pace and even so I saw an amazing amount and at the end of the walk she very kindly dropped me back at my hotel. I would definitely recommend Manjeet for anyone who wants to learn as well as see Kl. Conversations with Manjeet

We booked the tour "The 10 Tastings of Kuala Lumpur - Street Food" . Our Local Guide was Ms. Manjeet. It was really an unforgettable experience, full of great surprises! I definitely recommend the tour with her for all visitors who want to combine information about Kuala Lumpur culture, history and architecture with tasting of the great Local food. . Manjeet showed us many beautiful, hidden corners of the city, ... she accompanied us with a lot of enthusiasm along the most important heritage spots, ... The weather in the afternoon was really hot and humid and sunny,... but Manjeet always found a shady spot or a cool snack-bar to make a Stop, to recover a bit and taste some new dish along the way... All 10 Tastings were very very good ! ... and Manjeet explained a lot about the way of cooking, the ingredients, the origin of the dish and the way of eating it to fully enjoy the flavors! ... Thank you Manjeet ! .. We enjoyed the tour 100% and more ! .... If we travel again to Kuala Lumpur, we will definitely come back to you,.. to know more hidden places and to taste more local food in your city ! GREAT! The 10 Tastings of KL with Manjeet

We started our walk on time, with Manjeet taking us to beautiful old buildings and telling us the history of the city. We made our way across the River of Life, into Temples and saw Mosques and down Harmony Street. She took us into Central Market where we stopped for a cooling drink.
