Our guides speak English and Chinese. We have possibility a Dutch or French speaking guide available, but we cannot guarantee it.

It is not our goal to tell long stories during the tours. Our guides speak good English, but language does not play a major role in how to experience the tour. The local guides know the story behind Malaysian life and can answer all your questions. We want to emphasize the individual, intense experience of the hidden Kuala Lumpur and the interaction with the environment and people we encounter. Of course the guides know a lot about Kuala Lumpur’s history.

Yes it is safe. Motor cyclists and cars are numerous and things are fairly orderly for an Asian city. They take cyclists into account. The number of cyclists is limited but increasing. There are many positive developments to encourage cycling in Kuala Lumpur. For instance, in October 2017, blue bike lanes were constructed in the city centre, which are going to be expanded. Moreover, we mainly use bicycle-friendly roads and alleys. On our tours, a 2nd guide will join the group when there are more than 6 guests. In addition, we are highly visible because of the orange vests and orange bikes. However, it is important to follow the guide's rules and signals. By the way, in Kuala Lumpur they cycle on the left :)

We cycle with a quiet speed and make regularly stops on intersting places. Both children from the age of 7 and healthy senior citizens aged 80 can do our tour without problems. Cycling experience is obviously a must. We do cycle through narrow alleys and elevated pedestrian paths. This requires a certain balance, control and self-confidence on the bicycle. We advise you if you have a bad condition or disease, discuss with your doctor in advance whether the tour is suitable for you.

Our bike tours are unfortunately not suitable for those who are not on the bike with any confidence and skill. In addition, there is no possibility for non-cyclists to join their friends on the tour. We can offer you some alternatives, such as the Hop On Hop Off bus.
