Exactly the tour we wanted!
Aug 2022 • Couples
My partner and I were staying in Kuala Lumpur for a couple of days and booked a tour with Brendon to explore the city, learn about Malaysian culture, get food tips and to meet a local. Brendon delivered all of that! We met in the city centre, told him what we had been up to the previous days, our dietary restrictions and based on that Brendon guided us through the city. We learned a lot, got recommendations and had a lot of fun throughout the tour. We will recommend Brendon as a guide to anyone coming to KL. Ideally, you book him on the first day so you know what to do the following days too. Thanks Brendon! Marina & Philipp

Amazing tour of Kuala Lumpur by Brendan!!
Brendan created a unique customized tour of Kuala Lumpur for 7 hours during our layover. We enjoyed the sights both day and night and experienced 7to 10 different foods & drinks that were delicious. We walked 15,000 steps but agreed that we were walkers and wanted to see everything. We even drove out to the Baku caves at the beginning of our tour, Brendan s told us humorous stories about the history of Malaysia and the different provinces and how each of the 9 sultans rotates being king for five years. Loved seeing the city at night and went to the sky bar to enjoy mocktails and take photos of the night skyline. He took us to secret gardens with street art and knew all of the shortcuts. We saw the river of life and the symphony of lights water fountain show at 8:30. Such a fun day and learned a lot. I highly recommend him as your tour guide. He has a great sense of humor and his English is excellent.

Interesting and fun

Brendon was super organized and showed us all the highlights of Kuala Lumpur within one day and had a broad knowledge of the history of the city. He knows the best photo and food spots. We had a lot of fun as he is a very funny guy.

Highlights before exploring further
Oct 2022
It was a rainy day and the start of the tour wasn't great given the taxi dropped us off in the wrong place and we were a bit lost. Overall okay tour for our first day in KL - gave an overview of where things are in KL. I would have liked a bit more history on KL as well as pointing out neighborhoods and other places to explore after the tour. We did not see all the places we were suppose to see on the itinerary specifically the KL Forest Eco Park as it ended at 1430 and it was suppose to be a 4 hour tour. Given that, we've done many tours in the past and the guide would usually provide another place to "make up" for what we did not see however in this case it wasn't even mentioned.

Fun and cultural walking tour
Dec 2019 • Friends
We booked a tour with Paul and he is a knowledgable local guide. The tour was completely free to your customisation and Paul will give you insights no matter where you go. We booked 4 hours for the tour but Paul was not calculative of extending the time to 4:30 hours so that we could see more. We went to the central station, national mosque, city park, hawker stall and ended at the Petronas Towers. Would definitely recommend starting early in the morning to avoid the heat, and drink lots of water during the tour.

Perfect
Apr 2023
Brendon’s tour was absolutely perfect for my 18yr old daughter and myself. He picked us up right on time and made us feel comfortable as soon as we met. The tour was surprise after surprise and Brendon always had some story or fact to share which was so entertaining. He worked out our interests and changed things to make sure we got to see the best of KL for us. Highly recommend Brendon as a guide for KL.

I cannot highly recommend this tour with Brenda enough, most especially for anyone who is strapped for time.

I am not sure I could have seen as much of KL as I did if it wasn’t for for Brendan and his local knowledge of everything. From where to eat, what to see, how to get there quickest, how to beat the crowds, Brendan was amazing.

Brendan was quick to get to know the type of things I wanted to do and see so that my tour was tailored to my liking. Brendan had a great sense of humour and didn’t tire of all of my questions throughout the day.

Highly recommend this tour with Brendan if you want to see the best of KL.

Batu caves and KL half day tour
Dec 2019 • Family
Siddoz was on time to pick us up in airport and then straight to Batu caves. He has immense knowledge about the Malaysia and not hesitant at all to share it with his passengers. He was super accomodative to my places of interest and planned the trip for my family for half day. Definitely will recommend tour with Siddoz for his knowledge and caring attitude.

Great tour!

Really enjoyed this walking tour. Povan, my tour guide, had a great knowledge of Malaysia and I learnt so much about Kuala Lumpar. I gained historical knowledge and interesting facts that I would have never known unless I’d taken this tour. It was also a lot of fun! I would highly recommend!
