Kuala Lumpur Private Walking Tour - My husband and I had fantastic time with our guide Paul. He showed us around the city, provided us a lot of information and took us to places that we would have never visited on our own. We enjoyed it very much.
We highly recommend this tour, you will not be dissappointed.

Highlights of KL - Manjeet was a fantastic guide. She shared tons of information and made certain I tasted some Malay food. She gave me plenty of facts and historical background for every place we visited. Manjeet really tailored the tour to my preferences. She went out of her way to show me Kampong Bharu. Her English is excellent. I would definitely take another tour with such a pleasant and knowledgeable guide. A really enjoyable time.

This local guide is the true hidden gem - Manjeet is the true hidden gem. Our family booked Manjeet for a walking tour of KL that we hoped was something beyond the average tourist traps. We’re a family of four full time travelers who have been to Europe, Southeast Asia, Central America, North America, and other points around the globe. We’re not typically the type of family who immediately head to the nearest tourist super hotspot. We look instead for those off the beaten path destinations. The spots where the hidden meaning and the connection to the culture is hard to find but worth the effort.
Manjeet surpassed our expectations. We walked away from our day with this lovely lady having been given a window into a few worlds we very likely would never have seen without her help. She has a wonderful and comfortable wisdom that she readily shared with her guests. I often say it’s a shame to have the experience but to miss the meaning. Manjeet gave the entire day meaning. We could not recommend her more strongly.

Brendon: Unique guide! - We had the pleasure of having Brendon as our guide in Malaysia. His witty nature made the tour an unforgettable experience. Brendon not only knows the best food spots, but also caters to all requests. His extensive knowledge and friendly personality make him an outstanding companion. If you are visiting Malaysia, Brendon is definitely the best choice!

A great way to experience this lovely city - Brendan met us promptly at our agreed time and we set off on our first visit to KL hoping to hear all about the local history and culture. We were not disappointed and over the 4 hours of our tour Brendan showed us all the must see places interspersing with stories about life in Malaysia and the ways of life including how to navigate the roads
(just cross where you can ! ) and what to eat - for Brendan it’s quantity over quality ;). He adapted the tour to meet our requirements and helped me to navigate the Grab app which is similar to Uber. He showed us some secret locations and where to get the best photos of Petronas Towers. Thanks Brendan we had a great day and hope to come back to KL soon.

Great Tour, Excellent Guide - We spent an excellent 4 hours walking KL with Manjeet as our guide. She helped explain the history of the city, how its various communities interact and the importance of religion to all its citizens. It was very informative and interactive and Manjeet was excellent in her role. Really recommended if you want to get a good understanding of the city and its history and how to navigate it. We also had some Masala Chai tea at a local cafe and some cakes later at another venue.

Best sightseeing ever - The sightseeing tour in Kuala Lumpur with Manjeet was an exceptionally beautiful experience. We learned a lot, truly a great deal, about the country and its religion, the history of Kuala Lumpur, and also about contemporary life. Time flew by, filled with an invitation for tea at an authentic restaurant and indulging in fruits at a market.
I highly recommend Manjeet - a woman with a lot of charisma and knowledge, who clearly does her job with passion.

Great experience, would do it again - I had such a great day with Paul. I was worried about it being awkward since I went alone but he made me feel very comfortable.
There was lots of interesting info about the history and sights of the city and then as we went to each stop he called out how those things had shaped parts of the city now.
Being able to travel with and ask questions from a local really helped me get used to getting around, and understand how the local cultures interact, and the remainder of my stay will be much improved because of it! We also had the chance to get some local food, and he gave tips for places I might like to visit. I already plan to revisit the market so I can spend a few hours browsing for souvenirs.
Definitely do this early in your stay, it really sets you up for the rest.
