Amazing!
Manjeet gave us the most fantastic food and cultural tour. From start to finish she was amazing! As part of the group we had one person who is coeliac (gluten free) as well as a 4 year old child. From pre-booking discussions we knew we were in great hands as she was really knowledgeable about being gluten free and even supplied a multi-language allergy alert card to use in Malaysia. The tour was adapted to cater for our dietary requirements (even going to a place where the chef is gluten free!) and the food was incredible - a good mixture of sweet and savoury! Our tour included a ride on the train to Little India, which the 4 year old loved, as well as a trip to a bakery. She included cultural landmarks and adapted the tour so we could see the padang and colonial area. She followed up with a list of all the food tried, as well as more details about places to eat gluten free within Malaysia! We cannot speak highly enough of Manjeet. She was engaging, knowledgeable, thoughtful and knew just where to find amazing food! Make sure you go on this tour hungry as there was so much food!! Thank you so much!

Excellent tour with a great host!!
Highly recommended to all travellers but especially those spending a short(er) time in the KL. Manjeet was guiding me to places I probably would have missed due my short stay and thanks to her, I learned a lot about the history, culture and religious backgrounds of this amazing city. She has a great knowledge and could answer all my questions. I had an extremely good time walking around with her, very grateful for the experience 🙏 💙

An Enriching Cultural Journey with Manjeet
Manjeet is a highly knowledgeable and cultured guide. Before the tour, she took the time to ask about my preferences, and on the day itself—knowing I had just arrived in Kuala Lumpur that morning—she was attentive to my comfort throughout the day. Her thoughtfulness and consideration made the experience very enjoyable.
I enjoyed the break we took at a café, where I had Nyonya sweets along with a cup of kopi. It was a delightful and relaxing moment that added a special touch to the day.
I highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning about history and culture. She shared a wealth of knowledge, not only about the sites we visited but also about other places and cities in Malaysia. Thanks to her guidance, my trip became a truly enriching and memorable journey.
