      Learning and seeing

      "My trip to Malacca with Siidoz was a marvelous experience. As a history buff, I always knew I wanted to see Malacca, but Siidoz’s engaging conversation and considerable knowledge of the society, the politics, and the landscape of the place made the whole visit a superbly rich experience. The route was very pleasant and comfortable - for a long road trip, such comforts go a long way. Siidoz is an avid conversationalist with a thirst for knowledge. Our conversation easily transitioned from current topics in Malaccan life to current events in Malaysia to cultural experiences in the country and around the world. A superb visit with a magnificent host."

      Perfect day in Malacca with Paul

      "I spent a beautiful day on Malacca tour with Paul. He was very knowledgeable, respectful and knows the place inside out. It was so fantastic to learn about the heritage of the city and to try some of the local delicacies in one of the authentic restaurants. I truly enjoyed the views from fortress and specially the Dutch square. Paul showed me the most important areas of the city and gave amazing overview of the history of Malaysia. Thank you, Paul for this extraordinary experience. "

      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!"
