Raja was an excellent guide, giving us lots of information about the history of Malacca on our drive. We saw all the places we wanted to see and more as Raja wanted us to see as much as we could. We had a Baba Nyonya meal that was lovely. Thoroughly enjoyed the day and would highly recommend Raja as your guide.

Worth booking
shilpa_r, Apr 2024
Really worth booking this trip as you learn a lot about Malacca through the guide. Thank you Maran - who was basically a history teacher through this tour. Their team have been professional through entire tour. If youre young women or elderly, please book this trip as the coach and being amongst a group felt safe and youre given 1 hour of your own time at the end of trip to explore everything in Malacca and that was a great moment for us. Unfortunately we had a horrible experience with a private tour but Thank you Maran and his team for more than making up for it with this tour - we appreciate you guys 🙏

Smokers car
Christian_L, Mar 2024
Overall I don’t believe the tour was worth the money. Our guide, Steve, was knowledgeable and friendly and did tell us about the area, which was nice. However, he smoked and the car was not very comfortable and smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. We could have gone for far less in a more comfortable car using grab and just use a walking tour online that would have given us the same or similar information.

Private tour to Malacca.

I booked a private driver version of thos trip. Our driver Lawrence was amazing. He shared details on what we were going to see and made sure we had plenty of time to see what we wanted to see. It was the perfect trip .
I love Melaka
Sanjeev_V, Mar 2024

Not a guided tour, just a ride there and back
Salla_S, Feb 2024
Driver was prompt and friendly but quite inexperienced and strictly a driver not a guide. Perhaps I misunderstood the description, but I expected a tour with a guide who would share the history and some details about Malacca sites, and not just drop the group off to wander around.

Good experience in Malaka
PeggySue_F, Feb 2024
Overall we had a good day. Malaka is an interesting city to visit. This was not a ‘guided tour.’ We were given some information about Malaka by the driver on the ride from Kamala Lumpur, then he pointed out several places we could go, and we went around on our own in the town. Malaka is very hot, so be prepared with water, hat/umbrella, etc. The included lunch was a miss. We arrived at the appointed time & place, but there were no available tables. After waiting about 10 minutes in the heat, we ended up leaving to have lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe to access good air conditioning, but higher price & not the local food we were looking for.
Response from Host, Feb 2024

Good way to see Malacca
Deborah_B, Dec 2023
Communication prior to this trip was very good. Eugene was our driver and did a great job. He told us he was not a guide - only a driver - but went out of his was to make sure we saw the sites. So this is not really a guided tour but the narration was sufficient. The lunch was tasty and restaurant clean and authentic. Eugene arranged a tricshaw ride - the boat tour closed for afternoon prayers so we missed that. Perhaps rearranging the tour to do the boat first would have been better planned. We hit a lot of rain on the way back to Kuala Lampur and Eugene was a very cautious driver. He took many photos during the tour which he promptly sent to us. A good tour but you will need to do a bit of research on the sights on your own
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Dear Deborah, Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent trip with us. We appreciate your kind words and are pleased to hear that you found our communication prior to the trip to be very good. We're glad Eugene, our driver, did a great job in ensuring you had a positive experience despite being a designated driver and not a guide. We appreciate his efforts to make sure you saw the sites and provided sufficient narration. Your input helps us understand the value our team brings to our guests. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the boat tour being closed for afternoon prayers. Your suggestion about rearranging the tour sequence is valuable, and we will certainly consider it for future planning to enhance the overall experience. It's great to hear that you enjoyed the tasty lunch in a clean and authentic restaurant. We also appreciate your understanding as Eugene navigated through unexpected rain on the way back to Kuala Lumpur. Safety is our top priority, and we're glad Eugene's cautious driving was noted. We're pleased that Eugene's initiative in taking photos during the tour and promptly sending them to you added a personal touch to your experience. We appreciate your recommendation and understand the importance of guest research. We'll work on providing additional resources to help guests prepare for their tours. Thank you for choosing our tour, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future. Cheers!!

This is a complete tour of Malacca. Lawrence, our guide was very thorough in giving us the history about this place.

Tim_S, Nov 2023
Vijey was a great informative guide and I got to see a lot of Malacca. The mix of cultures was very clear. Pickup was early and we avoided traffic. Fully recommend
Good
Sangeetha_S, Nov 2023
Good experience. Cycle rickshaw was my favorite thing to do. Explore the unesco heritage area in cycle, it’s the best option.
A day worth spending
Yolly_C, Nov 2023
It was a great trip to Malacca, and very worth the long travel. Lawrence was very patient, a great guide and very helpful as he shared with us plenty of things about the place and he went beyond and took us to see some places along the way not mentioned in itinerary.
Not as advertised
Alka_F, Oct 2023
Town is beautiful. Though,, driver barely spoke English. He couldn’t communicate at all. We couldn’t even ask much and his responses were not related to questions.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
We're sorry to hear that you had an unpleasant experience with our tour. This level of English proficiency is unacceptable, and we apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused. We have spoken with our driver and are taking steps to ensure that this doesn't happen again. Your feedback is important to us and helps us grow.
