Great - a winner. - This is a winner. Well done TK on providing an excellent and informative 90 minutes tour of the key sites at and around KL’s heart. TK knows his history, was able to answer all the questions from the small group and visited some interesting sites. I enjoyed learning more about KL along with his insights. Superb

Excellent tour to many historical locations - This tour is great for anyone who enjoys walking while learning about the local history of Kuala Lumpur. TK the guide, knows his city well and he is an excellent storyteller. He showed me the peculiar and interesting things about KL that is sometimes overlooked. On top of that, he has a great personality and is fun to hang around with. I really recomend booking this tour whether it is for a short or long stay in KL.

Take tour immediately! Excellent! - Upon arriving in KL, I felt intimated - the size of the city, the busyness, and not speaking the native language. And I am from New York City. It wasn’t long that I realized that English was widely spoken. Now I just had to venture out. I thought that a small tour with an introduction of the city would help. So here I am. TK, the tour guide, was extremely personable and spoke excellent English. The highlights of the city were amazing. TK was very knowledgeable and couldn’t have been more considerate. So much so I plan to use him for some other tours. Thanks so much Trip Advisor, you are a god sent

Wonderful! - Nadia was so lovely that I didn't want the tour to end. She has a lovely and warm personality which made me feel so welcomed to KL. She enjoyed sharing her knowledge of the culture and country that is her home. What I really appreciated was her flexibility to my personal desires regarding my interests in KL. It made the tour just wonderful.

Amazing local guide Siddoz - Siddoz was just the kind of local guide we've been waiting for. He was
chill and informative at the same time. We did the 1.5hr tour with him
early in the morning at 8:30am.This tour was the very helpful for us
on our first full day in KL. He was able to give us insights into the
Malaysian culture. Coming from Hawaii to Malaysia, we were excited to
learn the cultural differences and able to appreciate them. Siddoz
gave us all the scoops and explained why things are the way they are
in Malaysia. Thank you Siddoz! Aloha

Varied and enjoyable - My family of parents and two older teenage boys were only in KL for 2
days so this short tour was perfect. We stopped for a couple of drinks
breaks which was very welcome. Siddoz was friendly and approachable,
and definitely knew his stuff.
