Kash was an excellent guide - took us to a bunch of great spots and provided so much awesome information and history. SO. MUCH. FOOD. Thank goodness I got to take some of it home towards the end as there was no way I could eat it all. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Siddoz is a great guide for foodie tours. We enjoyed a variety of local foods very much that travelers cannot reach out, like clam soup, pork ban, fresh spring roll, sweet tofu, egg cake, mochi, local drink, chicken rice, curry laksa, and more. We also dropped by Chinese temple aand Indian temple. They are both the oldest temples in Kuala Lumpur. Thanks Siddoz for this wonderful experience! We really appreciate it.

So, when I met Sam, I was told this tour wasn't necessarily the most popular one offered by the company in KL, and his summation was that perhaps people don't do it after a hearty breakfast at a hotel. My advice? Skip the hotel breakfast, and do this instead. When the description said "come hungry", the word 'understatement' might not be enough! There is a huge variety of different food on offer during this tour, with a breadth of flavours, and each stop had something to offer. You are probably not going to need dinner afterwards!!! Sam was a fantastic guide, willing to delve into the culture and heritage of the older parts of KL and the Petaling Street market. He was well informed, and engaged in conversation, willing to have a friendly discussion about life in the city, culture, and history. I think I benefitted somewhat from being the only person on this tour at the time, but I have no doubt that he would show the same level of engagement with a larger group. The company was also very understanding of intolerances and allergies and made adjustments, taking the time to also inform patrons of the stops that may cause problems, and to substitute where applicable. If you want to delve into the melting pot of cultures and flavours of Kuala Lumpurs culinary offerings, I don't think you could do much better than this tour.

The immersion into KL food & culture with Kiran on Thursday 31st was a step by step story of passion. Kiran had such an engaging way of connecting that every corner and stop held anticipation. Kiran is a natural & it shines brightly that she loves what she does ,but more importantly is happy to share. The amazing food and cultural stops were just a bonus. Fabulous .

Kiran was fantastic with a wealth of knowledge not just one where to get some of the best food but also the history of the area. Will definitely be booking one of the other tour options when I next visit!!!
