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!

Johan's tour was informative and thorough. Unfortunately for me, he is of the test before teaching school of thought and frequently asked questions to discover if I knew the tour content before he informed me. Despite this, I enjoyed the tour and learned a lot.Informative and thorough

Adnan is a very personable guide with decent knowledge and a happy disposition. His car is super comfortable with great aircon & he speaks great English. We ( 2 of us) booked a 4 hr Batu Cave Temple tour that we completed in about 1.5hrs, so he then took us to the hot springs and local waterfall. We had a superb day and I would certainly recommend him.Great day with Adnan

Une superbe visite culturelle avec Johan, il prend le temps de vous expliquer les différents lieux religieux et culturels.
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

We had a great time learning about Malaysian food and culture with Siidoz! He accommodated meat eaters and vegetarians in our party and even added in some special treats for our kids. He also let us visit the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple during the tour. We highly recommend booking a food tour with Siidoz!Fantastic food tour

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.

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.

We had a brilliant night out with Siddoz walking around the various food stalls in KL.
Siddoz took time to explain a lot of details as we went along - not just the recopies of the dishes, but also the history and culture of the neighbourhoods.
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. He spent quite a lot of time on his phone so there wasn't a lot of interaction between us but he knew his way around the best food stalls which was really what we were interested in! 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!

Siddoz was an excellent guide who tailored the tour to our eating preferences but made sure we tried some foods that were new to our palate. He also ensured that we learned about cultural aspects of Malaysian food and life. He knew the local food scene well and at the end of the tour we knew something too. Don’t eat beforehand.

Johan connaît très bien Kuala Lumpur, il nous a appris beaucoup de choses sur la vie quotidienne, la religion,... Seul regret, c'est qu'on est fait cette visite à la fin de notre séjour, il est préférable de le commencer par ça.. pour voir Kuala Lumpur autrement.. nous avons cheminé à pied et en métro, nous avons terminé par une dégustation de fruits au cours de laquelle il nous a apporté beaucoup d'explications. Merci Johan !! Et je recommande sans hésitation !!! Un super guide

Thank you TK for taking my family and I on a personalised food tour around Central Market and Petaling Street! TK was extremely responsive from the get-go and really easy to communicate with. On the day, my grandma decided to join and TK was super accommodating. Due to this however, the tour was made challenging as my grandma (being elderly) wanted to wander on her own and didn't really understand the concept of a "tour". TK was once again super understanding, and paced the tour so that my grandma could keep up.Fantastic host
