Walking around KL at night on your own you miss so many spots and insightful background. Zaq also took us to a small but very good food mall near the Pavilion. Would not have found this on our own. Highly recommended.”

“Unser guide Lewis war ein Traum. Nach anfänglichen Schwierigkeiten den Treffpunkt zu finden (dieser sollte unbedingt einfacher gelegen sein da man nicht wirklich Internet hat) hat er uns super freundlich empfangen. Wir waren nur zu zweit mit ihm und hatten das Gefühl mit einem Freund seine Heimatstadt zu erkunden. Wir empfehlen euch, im Hotel nicht zu frühstücken da es unterwegs 3x was zu essen gibt.
