Really great tour for my first day in KL. Communication till then was handled well, pick up was punctual. The tour covered all the highlights and more. The pace was good and Siidoz is really amiable and very knowledgeable. I was taken very good care of. Id highly recommend this tour for anyone new to KL and wanting to get a good overview. Its well worth it. I'd do it again. Fantastic intro to a fabulous city

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

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!

È stata una bellissima esperienza. Siamo andati a vedere le scimmie e siamo stati insieme a vedere le aquile a Kuala Selangor, le lucciole e Blue tears. Adnan è stato puntuale, gentilissimo anche con i bambini ed ha fatto vivere una bella mezza giornata di gita a tutta la nostra famiglia. Grazie ancora ad Adnan.Bellissima esperienza

Siidoz took my husband on a custom trip to see the caves and taste the foods of KL. He was a fantastic guide, full of local knowledge and knew all the best places to go. My husband really enjoyed the day and spending time with Siidoz. It was the perfect way to experience KL! Highly recommend Siidoz -- who was very willing to customize the itinerary to spend the day as we wished. Fantastic Day with Siidoz!

Il vous explique la naissance de Kuala Lumpur et son évolution dans le temps. De plus Johan s’exprime très bien en français et il a beaucoup d’humour, un vrai français. Je ne peux que vous conseiller ce tour, nous n’avons pas vu passé les 4 heures, c’était très enrichissant. Un grand merci à Johan.Tout simplement génial

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!

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.

It was a great tour and we recommend him highly.Awesome food and excellent knowledge

Our group of 4 enjoyed a great private tour in the heart of KL’s Chinatown with Siddoz and his trainee (Steve?). Siddoz was firstly very patient and understanding as we were delayed in KL traffic for ~15 mins. He catered to my fussy parents, explained the dishes we were trying and introduced us to foods we wouldn’t have ordinarily tried. He also took us to a couple of really cool spots for photo ops, some of the best photos on our holiday (thanks Steve, our personal photographer too!). They were both very personable, felt like chatting to old friends. Culinary and cultural adventure through KL

We had requested a food tour focused on authentic local cuisine and street food that the locals eat here. I am a foodie and amateur cook myself, having lived and worked on three continents – most recently for three years in China. My interest always lies in the true local cuisines of ordinary people. I had not yet experienced Malaysian cuisine firsthand. Through Siddoz, we learned more about this cuisine in one evening than we could have on our own in a week. It was entertaining, delicious, and interesting. Highly recommended!Great Introduction into Local Cuisine

Adnan is a class act! Picked us up at the hotel and took us to Batu Caves. Pleasant conversation during the ride and walk. Lots of great insights into the history of the area afterwards, he recommended the hot springs and water falls. This was a much more local experience and the family really enjoyed it. At the end, he dropped us off at our destination of choice (which was good because a huge thunderstorm hit shortly after). Vehicle was clean, comfortable, and made the experience better! A must hire for your trip to KL!Awesome time with a great host!

Siddoz guided us to some good food which was a useful introduction to Malaysian cuisine.

Would definitely recommend the tour.Good food tour

Het was heel leuk om met TK op stap te gaan. Naast de heerlijke Food tour, nam hij ons ook mee naar een feest van het Chinese nieuwjaar, dit was voor ons een extra inkijkje in de cultuur, wat wij erg leuk vonden. Verder gaf TK ons nog allerlei andere interessante tips. TK weet veel over het eten en welke plaatselijke dingen je echt moet hebben geproefd. Dank je wel, TK!Het was geweldig!
