Fantastic time.

RogerAliSophia, Apr 2025

Excellent walk with Kristina yesterday. Had a lot of laughs some great food and walked a lot of KL. Enjoyed the repeat of this walk from a decade ago.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

We’re thrilled to hear you had a fun and memorable time with Kristin with full of laughs, great food, and KL adventures! It’s extra special to know you revisited the walk after a decade. What an amazing way to relive memories while making new ones. Hope to see you again on another tour soon!

Fantastic Food With Kristine!

Carol T, Sept 2024

We had a wonderful guide, Kristine, who took us to lots of interesting food stalls and restaurants. Showing us tehtarik, roti and and various curries and even fantastic tissue roti! We took a train to the Kampong and saw the old heritage houses, lots of interesting vegetable stalls and had yet more different and fascinating food. It was pouring with rain but that added to the experience and Kristine managed very well. She found us taxis home at the end of a very enjoyable tour. Thanks you Kristine!

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Kristin. Exploring the flavors of teh tarik, roti, and all the delicious curries – plus the unique tissue roti – must have been an adventure! Rain or shine, we’re glad the experience felt even more memorable, and we’re so happy Kristin could make the day comfortable and enjoyable for you. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to her. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back for more discoveries!

Interactive tour with wonderful food tastings

Susan_S, Apr 2024

Kristin was our wonderful guide on this tour. We learnt and tried out a few interactive and interesting activities such as making roti, making a prayer in a Chinese temple and the what is involved in the outcome. We tried a variety of foods that we would never have done if we were on our own. Thoroughly recommend Kristin as your guide.

Experience you'll not get if you are on your own

raymondlim2018, Feb 2024

This is a tour which brings you to places where you don't normally go if you are on your own. Lewis, our tour guide, brought us to experience hands-on on flipping Roti Canai, pull Teh Tarik, went through the procedure in a Chinese Temple to get rid of the bad luck, watch how they bath the god in an Indian temple, etc. Lewis also bought us local foods to try, roti canai with kaya (this is something new to me), and the original taste cendol. The Walk is well structured, at a good pace, and enhanced by a knowledgeable guide, who has the customers' interest at heart.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us and that our guide Lewis was able to provide you with unique and immersive experiences. From learning to flip Roti Canai to experiencing the cultural practices in Chinese and Indian temples, we strive to offer our guests a one-of-a-kind journey through Malaysia's rich heritage. It's great to know that you appreciated the local foods, including the roti canai with kaya and the original taste cendol. We will be sure to pass on your kind words to Lewis, and we hope to welcome you back for more memorable adventures in the future!
