"Joel was a fantastic guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible. He tailored the tour to our interests and made the Batu Caves and Thean Hou Temple truly memorable. Highly recommended!"

Such a nice person
"When you commit to spending a day with a local it is always a worry if you will get along. If you book a day with Akmal you are on to a winner
Funny and friendly with great stories of his family and heritage you really do get the whole package
Great day out and most importantly a fun and happy day out
Take the plunge and put your worries to one side this gentleman will look after you and make your day really special"

So beautiful!
"Joel was very friendly and a great guide! The Cameron Highlands were absolutely stunning! If you have time, I would recommend staying out there a day or two. We went during the week which was perfect because we avoided a lot of traffic that we heard could be terrible. "
"We really enjoyed our tour of Malacca with Hoopy. She was knowledgeable and flexible. We told her we were interested in history, and she took us to see some great historical sights. In addition, we had a delicious lunch of Peranakan food. I mention her flexibility because my wife lost her glasses (they fell off her chain), and we spent a bit of time looking for them (luckily, we found them). But it didn't feel like we missed any of the tour. We also went shopping for batiks. We had a great time and would highly recommend Hoopy!"

"Hoopy thought she might be late to pick us up (due to unexpected weekend diversions) and kept us informed. She weaved her magic and was only 5 mins late.
A pleasant drive from KL to Melaka with discussion on various matters.
Hoopy took us on a marvellous walking tour of Melaka, with so much to see and absorb. Hoopy was very helpful in providing commentary, suggesting good photo spots, and ensuring the tour was at your pace. We stopped for a great lunch, and then more walking and a river cruise.
The drive back to KL took 3.5 hours. We weren't the only ones enjoying Melaka.
Thank you Hoopy, we hope to meet again."
"We enjoyed discovering Melaka with Paul, specially the babanyonya history as that was totally new to us. We visited the town at a leisurely pace and Paul took us to a lovely nyonya restaurant where we treated him to lunch before going to the Heritage centre which was fascinating. He timed the visit well and we got back to KL without being stuck in the infamous trafic jams. "

Wonderful day tour in KL
"My husband and I only had two days in KL and wanted to make the most of it. Joel came up with the perfect itinerary for us that included Batu Caves, a beautiful waterfall, a temple, and a short walking tour. He was very friendly and informative. We realized we definitely needed more time to see all that the city has to offer but this tour was perfect for us to get an overview in the short amount of time that we had. "

Fantastic experience
"Paul was a fantastic guide. Thanks to him, we got to see so many things all in one day. It was the best day of our trip to KL. He never made us feel rushed at all but kept us on track so we could make it to see everything we wanted to see. His knowledge about the area and the history was awesome. Could not have had a better guide. He took extra care with us being elderly to make sure the pace was good for us. We would definitely use Paul again as our guide. "
