      Above and Beyond

      "This was a truly memorable experience. Manjeet was able to customize this food tour to our specific dietary requirements (vegan, vegetarian and non-vegetarian who all cannot tolerate spicy food) to give us a taste of Malaysia - which is very hard to do as so much of the cuisine features meat or at the base egg and spice is a central ingredient. She went above and beyond, showing us local areas and laneways we wouldn't find on our own, sending us food recommendations before and after our tour including recommendations for our next destination. She also shared with us the cultural and history of KL and Malaysia. We learned so much from her and are still talking amongst ourselves about how fantastic of a tour guide she was for our group. If you are on the fence please do book her. If I could I would give her a 100/10. "

      A great experience with the sweetest guide

      "I did a food tour with TK and I really loved it! Our group was not the easiest because my partner and I were travelling with our picky and shy 8-year old and my elderly mom who’s not very adventurous with food. TK was very patient and sweet. Not only he made us try some amazing food we would not have discovered otherwise. He also showed us around and told us a lot of interesting facts about KL and Malaysian culture in general. He also took me to a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to help me solve my back pain issue. He’s a gem! "

      KL with Hoopy

      "We booked the Kuala Selangor Day Trip with Hoopy, because we wanted to support a woman. Hoopy is a charming, funny and caring guide. She shared lots of interesting background information with us and was very flexible to adapt our tour. It was a really refreshing and entertaining tour with her. Thank you!"

      Such a great guy!

      "Had such a wonderful time with Yasin - it just felt like hanging out with an enthusiastic friend, taking you to all his favourite spots around the city - and we reeeeally appreciated his ability to cater to one of our friends being vegetarian. It felt less like a tour, and more like hanging out with an old friend, and i was 100% here for it."

      The best care

      "Lisa met us looking very presentable and with a positive outlook. Due to dietary restrictions, she had to personally do a lot of preparations for this tour, and we appreciated that greatly. Her knowledge of the area and history was terrific for a “foreigner”. She pulled together a great foodie tour for us. Even though it was a scorching hot day, she was most accomodating with us oldies’ slow walking pace, and her care factor was tremendous. All the food she generously arranged was nothing short of excellent. Just start on an empty belly, as her choices will definitely fill you up. She answered all our various questions with calm confidence, suited to her personality. I am not the easiest person to please, but Lisa achieved that in spades. To say we were smitten with her tour is an understatement. It was great! By all means, pick Lisa for your foodie tour in Georgetown. You won’t be let down, as we all very highly recommend her. Amazing, she is! Thanks so, so very much Lisa."
