Our Story

Not just a tour — a buddy by your side

We’re a small team of locals who love sharing our home with travellers from around the world.

Exploring Malaysia
How it started

Travel should feel like exploring with a friend

MY Buddy Tours began with a small group of passionate locals who believed travel should feel personal — like exploring with a friend, not following a flag.

What started as a simple idea turned into something bigger: a community of Buddies who share stories, laughter and real local life with every guest.

Whether it’s your first time here or you’re back for more, we’re here to make sure you leave with memories, not just photos.

Our Mission

To offer travellers authentic, personal and joyful experiences — the kind you only get with a local buddy.

Travel isn’t about ticking boxes. It’s about connection, laughter and stories that stay with you long after you’ve gone home.

Our Values

What we believe in

Friendship First

Quality Experiences
