    The best of the best guide

    "What an incredible day we spent with Siidoz exploring KL through the food of three different neighborhoods. We started with Chow Kit market, exploring and sampling items and even had the opportunity to try and make our own roti for breakfast. Next was the Malay neighborhood where we ate at the best Nasi Melak restaurant. We explored Chinatown market, the central market, Little India - so many incredible stops along the way and in each place, Siidoz knew where to go, what to try, and who to get the best food from. It was a perfect balance of walking and eating so we didn’t get too full and he was very knowledgeable of the heritage, history and food of KL. You could also tell how passionate he was about his city. We’ve been with many other guides, and he is one of the best of them all. Highly recommend!"

    Simply Brilliant!

    "Hoopy is a true professional tour guide - full of amazing information, stories and happy to move at our pace. Her communication before the tour was excellent and the tour she organised was really good. She took us to a waterfall at the end of our tour to the Batu caves, which was simply stunning. Something we would never have done on our own. She also did an amazing job keeping the monkeys away from our possessions! A true professional - I would have no hesitation in booking again! "

    Private tour in KL

    "Hoopy is an incredibly knowledgeable and warm person. Her deep understanding of Chinese culture, combined with her fluency in Cantonese, made a huge difference in helping us truly appreciate and understand everything we experienced. We also enjoyed an amazing durian tasting—the durian was exceptionally fresh! We highly recommend Hoopy"

    Amazing Day

    "Taking this city tour in Malaysia with Mohd Akmal was an absolutely fantastic experience! He is an exceptional guide: super friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local history and culture. Akmal made the tour dynamic, interesting, and fun, ensuring our day was truly unforgettable. If you want to explore the city with someone who loves what they do and guarantees the best possible experience for travelers, he is the right person. I highly recommend him. His service is worth every penny!"

    Beautiful day with amazing Johan

    "I had a pleasure of meeting Johan on my recent trip to KL. I selected him as a guide to Batu caves and it was nothing short of perfect. He is kind, knowledgeable and doing his job with love. We went early in the morning to avoid crowds and heat. He explained not just the history of the place but also showed me how the pilgrimage looks like and what are the rituals during that time. Seeing that I am not properly dressed for walk in nature, he so mindfully suggested that we do a city tour instead and I was so grateful for this idea. Johan was a perfect guide and I highly recommend him to be your guide when in KL. Thank you, Johan for the unforgettable day!"

    Wonderful guide

    "We used Hoopy for our Batu Cave tour. She was punctual, kind, friendly and very knowledgeable. She offered an extra 1 hour optional visit to the Chinese Temple which I recommend if you have the time. You should book Hoopy for your tour. "
