We had a fabulous time with May! We’re a family of 6 with 2 vegetarians and 2 pescatarians. May was able to expertly navigate our dietary restrictions and find many delicious and unique options for all of us during our fun, information filled walking tour and food tour of Kuala Lumpur. We enjoyed our second day at Batu Caves and Ipoh with drop off in Penang. May was able to quickly understand what we were interested in doing and tailored our time together to our needs. May is patient, kind, accommodating and lots of fun! May is the absolute best person for showing you around Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh!Must tour with May!

27 May 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

I booked a private tour to Malacca with May. She is very knowledgeable of the area. She was very flexible in her tour. We did not have to follow a set tour plan. She rerouted the tour to fit what I was interested in. It was an enjoyable and informative tour. I would recommend her for a tour. Malacca tour with May

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!

Manjeet gave us an amazing experience in and around the Central market area. We loved her geniune enthusiasm and passion for the food traditions of KL. We enjoyed the following, all in moderate quantities (but it helps if you come on an empty stomach) and explained in detail: Nasi lemak with northern chicken rendang, Dried beef batotok with green pepper, Dry sambal with tempeh and anchovies, Pani puri, Chicken curry puffs, Dosa served on banana leaf with chutneys, Roti canai served with curries, Fruits, Local coffee, ....and then a Curry laksa! Thank you also for so many interesting insights and explanations of the multi-layered Malayian culture.....it was totally fascinating for us.

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
