KL - the hidden secrets bike tour with Elena - Over our 3 days in KL, we explored quite a bit, though with only one organised tour, being a 5hr cycling adventure with Bike with Elena, where Elena took us on an amazing and unique ride through the streets of KL, including many back streets and off the beaten track places that we wouldn't have found on our own. We learnt a lot about the history of KL and even drank coffee with the locals. It was a terrific experience. Thanks Elena ! 🙂. On this tour, we visited temples, saw local food being prepared, and of course, tried some. We visited a local medical clinic that practices Eastern medicine. Check out the pic of the practitioners consulting room, where the patient sits with them, and all of the people waiting for their turn, are in the same room ! We also had a magical coffee called "Sunrise" @ PS103 coffee, which was delicious - see pics. It was so good that we went back the day after for another ! We'd thoroughly recommend doing this tour if you're in KL.

Exploring the City with Helena! - Helena's city bycicle tour early morning was really more than a tour, was exploring hidden and secret gems of the city with a friend. Helena, fantastic, passionate about the city shared stories about the KL history and culture. The pace was perfect - relaxed enough to enjoy the sights and scenery, but enough to cover a good amount of places and also little break for breakfast, refreshments and lunch. This tour was a fantastic way to experience and view the city in a different way. Highly recommend this tour with Helena - she's the best guide. (She gave me also a lot of recommendations of other activities to do)

the people, food, sights and sounds of KL - we love to cycle when visiting as it's a great way to get the feel of a place. Elena was a great host, very knowledgeable on history of both places and people. Malaysia has such a complex history so it was great to have someone explain all this and put into today's context. We met many interesting people and very lucky to be present for a taoism initiation ceremony. We were taken for a local breakfast and also a light noodle lunch which was wonderful - i have the recipe and will attempt to make the same when home. thanks Elena for an anazing morning in KL

amazing tour by Elena and team - We had an amazing tour with Elena, Jason and Aiman. We were a big group of 12pax but they kept every one entertained and most importantly safe and sound. We saw many nooks and crannies of KL that felt really special. Definitely rate this tour as a must do in KL!!

Loved seeing KL from a bike! - Kudos to Elena and her crew for navigating KL's streets with our group of three families (11 teens & adults plus one child in a bike seat)! We had a fantastic tour of the city and appreciated the inside knowledge she shared with us.

Great way to see and explore KL - I was met with a big wave as I was waiting to cross the traffic lights and then a very friendly welcome. The tour left on time at 7:30 am and it was a wonderful four hours exploring Kuala Lumpur. I learnt so much history and interesting facts which really made my overall knowledge and experience of Kuala Lumpur much more robust. There were some excellent stops along the way for some local snacks from local merchants in the authentic markets. Something you wouldn’t get to experience on your own. It was really safe on the streets with clear directions and I didn’t feel unsafe at all. Highly recommend doing the morning tour to avoid the hot sun later in the day. A fantastic four hours.
