    Perfect lesson

    "She gave me perfect directions for everything. After booked, I could connect with her on WhatsApp, and she sent me how to go to her house and asked me about what I like and dislike. So I was able to go without getting lost, and cook what I like. AND everything I made was really delicious! We talked a lot about many things during cooking,It was really fun time.(I’m not a good English speaker, but she was so kind for me to understand what she said.) Anyway! It was a great experience. I highly recommend it to everyone !"

    Amazing hiking trip in the forest!

    "Such a blessing to havzɓ¹ound Casey thanks to this app for a hiking trip. I made a lot of hiking in the south of France in the past as well as Scotland and even Oman (middle east), but this was my first time in Asia. Casey is a fantastic guide, and it was a complete change of scenery in unknown territory for me, plus the path to reach the top of the hill/mountain is a true labyrinth. It was also very enriching to discuss with Casey who is Malaysianan. I truly recommend!"

    Best experience

    "We had such a great time during this cooking class. Ruth and her husband are first at all very welcoming, so we just felt like home. The guidance in the cooking class was great and the food delicious! I can really recommend!"

    Delicious food and a warm welcome

    "Our cooking class with Ruth was truly enriching. We were warmly welcomed into her home by Ruth and her husband, which immediately made us feel at ease. To help us settle in, we were offered some special snacks to try, which was a lovely touch. We then cooked five absolutely delicious dishes together. Ruth guided us confidently through each step, explaining everything clearly and patiently. Throughout the entire experience, we felt genuinely welcome in their home. Sharing the meal afterwards felt like dining with family rather than taking part in a class. After the experience, Ruth kindly sent us photos and the recipes, which gives us a wonderful memory of the afternoon and allows us to recreate the dishes at home. We can highly recommend this experience."

    A Taste of Local with Heart!

    "My wife and I booked an Indian cooking class with Ruth, and it was fantastic! We didn’t just learn how to make our favorite Paneer Makhani, we also got to try our hand at other delicious Indian veggie dishes. What made the experience so special was the conversation with Ruth, so we could have a glimpse into local life and Indian culture. This is the insight you’d never get from a guidebook. We’re so glad we took this class and had the chance to meet Ruth. And the 3 hours flew by in a flash! If you do join the class, I'd also recommend taking a stroll to the nearby Torana Gate and Little India which just a 15-minute walk away. You’ll love it :)"

    Outstanding tour of the peaks above KL

    "Casey impressed me from the moment I booked the tour with consistent and clear communication. He picked me up from my hotel and took me on a memorable hike through a lush forest. I learned so much from him about KL and Malaysia. He has routes for all fitness levels, abilities and interests. I will definitely book him for a future tour when I return with family. He is also great value for money based on another tour I went on in KL. Book Casey for an exceptional experience! "

    Authentic cooking experience

    "We really enjoyed the cooking class with Ruth! She showed us some great recipes and we are really looking forward to cooking these dishes at home. Ruth is a very good teacher and an authentic personality. We learnt a lot from her and also got insights into Indian and Malaysian culture. We liked that very much! Dear Ruth, thank you so much for everything. We are very happy to have got to know you! Best wishes, Dastin & Jessica"
