About the operator
- biggimue00Better than expectedPak Camp was a great guide for this amazing trip! All the stops along the way were fantastic! Ranging from Harmony town (where 4 worship houses stand right next to each other), the fortress (not really that nice, but in an area crouded by monkeys - ideal for the monkey selfie), the traditional Malay village (and special treat, the herb garden), the local restaurant (really not touristy and a flavor of local cuisine), leading up to the fireflies. I never expected to see that many! And all the while getting insights to the country by the proud Pak. Thanks again!
- 486jaxe00Amazing insightful tour with Tony from withlocalsTony was a charming and conscientious guide with great knowledge of KL past and present. We did the 7 hour walking tour with him and it was amazing from beginning to end. It wasn’t arduous and Tony met us at the hotel and was with us every step of the way sharing his knowledge. It is a tour well worth doing.
- shreyasgopal00Fantastic experience.Fantastic experience. This was exactly what I was looking for. Povan took me to 10 restaurants to try different types of food. It was just not food. It was history, science behind the food and the history of Malaysia. Absolutely worth the money! Thanks Povan!
- keashiad00Great way to try some authentic food - Malyasia has a melting pot of cuisinesNice experincce with a walking tour with Zack. We live in Australia where Asian food is part of our regular diet. It was nice to experience the real food rathet then the westernised flavours we receive at home. Would reccomend
- coreyl19700Great tourDefinitely do it at dinner time. Great experiences around town and a lot of great food. We would have never tried some of these places without our guide, who was super friendly and knowledgeable.
- Lisa J00Great guide and amazing local foodMy friend and I did this food tour yesterday evening with Ferris. It was just the 2 of us on the tour so we got some really great tips and info. The food was amazing and we did some shopping in Chinatown which was fun. I would highly recommend this tour to any visitors to KL.
- apanie00Fabulous experience!May is a friendly and approachable woman who gave us a fabulous experience. We had wandered through the same areas the day before but didn’t have the knowledge or confidence to sample the local food. However, with May, the experience was totally different. May’s expertise and enthusiasm were infectious. I would recommend a very light breakfast and then arrange to meet May around 11 am. She will guide you through the back lanes of Chinatown offering a variety of food which was all delicious. A tour not be missed.
- deb p00A must do!Great tour lots of unusual and yummy food to try. Ramesh was very friendly and informative making our experience an enjoyable one
- mrboojangles00A great way to sample local foods.This tour is a must do experience, not only were the food and drink tastings superb there was also a good variety of different tastings to try. Povan also had a wealth of local knowledge that cannot be learnt from a guide book. A highly enjoyable tour.
- dianemark201700Night food tourFun informative night walking around KL and trying different foods. Our tour guide was very helpful as two of us cannot eat gluten and he was an ex chef and he organised different options for us. We trued great local dishes, especially deserts we wouldn’t have known about.
- B4081YQchriss00Local street food tourRamesh was very friendly and knowledgeable about the local food and traditions, and went out of his way to point out the local stuff from the mass market "tourist" food I recommend this tour without reservation I really enjoyed it .... thanks Ramesh for a great evening
- Londonatlarge100Great food tourGreat introduction to food markets of kl Great guide in faris Really enjoyed it Right amount of time Lots of interesting information
- sangeethat201700Not what we expectedThe food tour was fairly underwhelming. We had a great tour guide, able to tell us about the food culture and people etc. She was very knowledgable. However, the food was average. The first two tastings we had were quite nice, but thereafter nothing to go to town about. My favourite was apam balik, a yum snack. Most of the store/booths at the market were either closed, not ready at the time that we were doing the tour (5:30pm), so perhaps the company should consider that with setting the times of the tour.
- Claire J00Fantastic trip with excellent guide RameshWe had a brilliant tour around Bukit Bintang and tried a lot of different foods. Our guide Ramesh was really friendly and knowledgable, introducing us to many foods and streets we would not otherwise have tried. He went out of his way to ensure we had all a great evening, including my 12 year old daughter who is usually a very picky eater but who happily ate more new foods that night than the rest of the year put together. Ramesh ensured we knew how to get back to our hotel and sent us a list afterwards of all the things we’d tried, which was really appreciated as there was a lot! I highly recommend this tour for anyone who’d like to learn more about the wonderful foods in this city and to eat like a local.
- Kate K00Great insider trip to the Cameron HighlandsWe had a great trip to the Cameron Highlands with Joel, and especially appreciated how knowledgeable, considerate and friendly he was. He provided just the kind of off-the-beaten path experience we hoped for, where we could learn about the context and enjoy the natural beauty of the place. We would definitely recommend this trip to others seeking a similar experience!

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.

We really enjoyed our walk with Ranita - Ranita introduced us to the
history of KL and some wonderful buildings, including two Chinese
temples, the central market, China Town, the Supreme Court and told us
a little about the daily life of the residents of KL. The walk was
around a compact area, but every turn was different - and she was able
to keep the interest of a 15 year old and 17 year old- not an easy
task! Highly recommended - Jason, Debbie, Gabrielle & Jacob, from

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

I really didn't know what to expect from the tour but Manjeet was amazing! She customized the tour for me. Her knowledge of the history
of Malaysia was impressive! She took the time to explain things to you. The best thing is she would start a story and take you to the
next place and tell you the punchline of the story that fit so well as if she is a story teller. I felt comfortable, and extremely entertained. I would recommend Manjeet as the tour guide to anyone.

Because of my own miscalculation, I booked the Private Kickstart Tour: Intro to KL at 9am, the same morning that we arrived at 3am. Sleep deprived and hungry, we thought we would just quickly go through the motion but that was not what Brendon had in mind!
Brendon is deeply interested in what we'd like to see in KL. As we walked along the old temples and markets, once we explained we love to know about the people, the culture, the history of the city, and most importantly, what is the better way to learn about all that other than eating the food locals eat for centuries, the walking tour took a 180 and turned into a food tour! We walked by Brendon's favorites and visited a few, ranging from Chinese, Malay and Indians. We went nuts ordering everything Brendon recommended on the menu, and not only they were the most delicious and authentic Malay food we'd ever had, it came at such a good price. And that was not over yet. Brendon took us in his car as we approached the mid-day heat to get banana fritters and yam fritters. Some might not expect much of those fritters, but trust Brendon on this, you absolutely have to try them.
Throughout the tour, Brendon pointed out interesting facts about this big cultural melting pot city of Malaysia, and suggested things to do and more food to eat for the time we are in KL. The day could not have been any better, thanks to Brendon this turns out to be absolutely the perfect first introduction to KL.

TK was a knowledgeable and kind guide who pointed us to places we would have overlooked. He knows his city and what places are important and why. We learned a lot and had a great time.

We had a fun and informative afternoon with Siddoz. He was
forthcoming with his knowledge of the city and was a great
conversationalist in general. He took us to 4 main major points
during our walk. We tried a local dessert. He took us to a beautiful
Indian temple and had time to witness a blessing. We enjoyed our time
out with Siddoz. Would defintely recommend. Thanks, Siddoz!

As we had only 2 days in the city we booked Brendon for a 2 hour
walking tour so we could get our bearings. Absolutely invaluable -
it's not an easy place to get around and we'd not have seen half the
things without him. We walked miles and in fact we're with him for 3
hours. He recommended a great restaurant for Malay food and even
messaged me with menu suggestions. I have no hesitation in
recommending this great tour.

My tour with Siddoz was great. He explained a lot but not to much. He
also had great insider tips. If you wanna make a tour which is not too
touristic and your guide should give you tips( also always in a funny
way) then is siddoz the perfect guide for you! Don't think to much,
book the tour and have fun!
