    Great!

    "Siidoz made my stop in KL a fun experience. His pace suited me, and his knowledge of the area we explored really brought it alive for me. Not to mention the food! I can't wait to experience other parts of Malaysia with him."

    With Heart, Passion & Great Foo

    "We had an absolutely wonderful food tour with Manjeet! She clearly loves food – but even more, she loves the stories, culture and influences behind it, and that made the tour really special. She was incredibly attentive both before and during the tour, always taking our preferences into account and making sure everyone was enjoying themselves. At every stop, she shared fascinating stories about the dishes, the ingredients and the different influences that have shaped Kuala Lumpur’s food culture. And of course, everything we tried was absolutely delicious! We also got lots of great tips and recommendations along the way, which made the experience even more valuable. We had a fantastic time and would absolutely recommend a food tour with Manjeet to anyone who wants to discover Kuala Lumpur through its food!"

    Fascinating tour, highly recommend Adnan!

    "Adnan showed us some of the key sights in KL and some hidden gems that we would never have explored by ourselves. Lots of interesting facts and if we'd been staying longer we'd have gone back to one or two! Adnan was friendly, engaging and the perfect host."

    Paul knows KL!

    "Pal Wong was absolutely fantastic when he showed me KL. He walked me through the big Petronas Towers and downtown, Chnna town and showed me temples from all three major Malaysian religions, Muslim, Hindu, and Taoist. At the end I really felt like I knew Malaysia, a country I had previously not known at all."

    Yum yum, a yummy night!

    "The best food we had in Malaysia was the food we eat when on tour with Lisa. Lisa is a very kind, calm and lovely lady who knows a lot about the different tastings in Malaysia. We tried new stuff even after having already done a food tour in KL, and she really knows how to find the gems. The variety was great and she also knew how to please the kids with the choices of tastings. Definitely recommend doing a tour with Lisa ❤️"

    Great experience!

    "Joo Bee is so warmhearted and energetic! First of all, when we met she already knew the name of every person on our group, just wow! Joo Bee knew a lot of history and told us interesting stories. That is so great about going on a tour with a local ❤️. She was very patient with us (child with some heat coping issues on a hot summer day) and showed us around town to places we would have never been without her. Thank you for the lovely tour dear Joo Bee!"
