We had a great time
Manjeet was lovely, she picked us up and guided through sone very interesting sites of KL, explaining about history and culture. She spoke slowly so my mother who doesn’t speak English very well could follow. We were very satisfied and learned many things, we totally recommend.

Great 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.

Excellent tour!
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!

You need Brendon to guide you round KL
Spent a very enjoyable time with Brendon today - he knows plenty of hidden gems of KL and takes you to places that you would pass by as tourists. The old cinema, roof top bars, traditional KL food and stories about the old days of Malaysia and KL made the tour very memorable. If you want a great guide to show you the sites other folks miss out on then Brendon is your guy.
