Colourful Malacca - Wow, what a day. We had the most informative tour to Malacca, while in Malacca and on our return trip to KL. Thank you Chandra, your extensive knowledge ensured we learned the history of Malacca and saw absolutely everything we were meant to.

A great experience - Very easy and smooth experience being picked up from our hotel and driven to malacca from KL, stopping off at st Peter's church along the way. Our driver was very friendly and accommodating teaching us little bits about Malaysia as we drove. The city of malacca itself is stunning and our tour guide took us through harmony street and jonker street once we had a chance to explore the red square. He also took us to an Indian restaurant for lunch that had the best biryani I've ever had!

Malacca day trip - Had a great day out. The guide was very informative, we had time to wander at our leisure and a proper lunch was included. Pickup and return was from our hotel, on time and the 2 of us had a minibus to relax in for the 2 hour trip.

Fantastic trip to Melaka! - We had an amazing time traveling from KL to Melaka. The stops were very interesting and quick. The town of Melaka was very interesting based on all of the Countries that have controlled the city. Our tour guide really made the trip incredible. He was very knowledgeable about the city and the history, and all of the stories were fantastic. I would highly recommend this trip if you enjoy history! Buckle up as traffic can be pretty brutal to and from KL and Melaka. But don’t let that scare you from booking a trip!

History and Culture - Enjoyed walk around Malacca with guide. A lot to see and my guide, Chandran, was very knowledgeable. A few tips if visiting on a Friday. Ask the tour provider to leave at 7am if possible to beat traffic. Also museums close on Fridays 12.15 to 14.45. Ask the guide to have free time before the guided tour rather than vice versa.

Disappointed - Disappointed. Information said trip to Melaka would take about 1 1/2 hours. Took 4 hours. Left late. Driver only. No guide. Driver did his best to show me around but kept looking things up on google and Wikipedia to tell me about things. I was happy to walk but driver seemed tired by the walking and thought the 4K we walked was a lot of walking! I didn’t think it was much at all. The included lunch very disappointing in a very cheap place. Then very long drive back to hotel in KL.

Historical Visit - This was a nice day tour from Kuala Lumpur, however on a Monday everything is shut so difficult to access many of the churches, museums, shops etc. I think it would be better to spend a night at Malacca to get a full appreciation of the historical city but we saw a snapshot. It is a 2 hour drive to get there from the city so keep that in mind.

Very Disappointing!!! - The single most awful tour I have ever done, having travelled to over 50 different countries. The guide was very nice, but wasn't informed of the itinerary, so I blame the company. Imagine after paying for an expensive tour that I had to be the guide, using Google Maps, showing him where to go. He basically wanted me to jump out at the square and wander around myself and he knew nothing whatsoever about Malacca, which was disgraceful if you ask me. This was not his fault as he was not aware of the brief and I again would lay the blame on the company. I rang the company and they said that they would contact me later that evening to discuss the tour .. no phone call was received! Honestly a 1/10 tour all 'round. Very disappointing ..
