Nice experience. Will be better if coming in other season, too hot in summer.
Awesome historical tour exploring Malacca. Chandran was a great guide with a wealth of knowledge and was with the group the entire day explaining each site significance, stopping for fotos, and making sure safety was key. Lunch was enjoyable with Malaysian cuisine . Bus was clean and our driver David drove safely and kept to times
I've been to 19 different counties and this tour operator was truly one of the worse tour guides i have ever come across. Vera was obviously forced to be there based on his body language, the way he talked, walked and acted throughout the trip. Usually small things like saying hello when first meeting a person and bye when leaving are common courtesy but not with this man. oviding water is as well now days but Firstly our 10 hour tour lasted 7 hours. He rushed us from place to place, never gave us an opportunity to take photos anywhere and most of the time was rushing ahead of us and seemed annoyed when we actually wanted to take a photo. Other tour operators ask us if we want our photos taken but this guide not even once thought about taking our photos let alone telling us places to take good photos. He barely talked throughout the trip and didn't know much about the history of Malacca which was our destination and when he did talk, i could barely understand him due to thus thick accent. To top this disappointing tour, besides the water not provided which was a first for me when going on tour but our promised local meal was turned into a Thai restaurant which isnt halal although my my name is a Muslim name and my mum who was in the tour wears a scarf. No back up options, no research and planning before hand and then when i asked for a local Turkish restaurant, he says it will be over our budget and takes us to Maccas. This is the worst tour of my 4 country Asian tour and i wouldn't recommend particular tour to anyone.

Regarding the tour duration, our itinerary is subject to traffic conditions, guests' pace, and operational considerations, but we understand your disappointment if the experience felt shorter than expected. For the meal arrangement, we sincerely apologise that the original local dining plan could not be fulfilled as intended.

We hope you will accept our sincere apologies and wish you and your family all the best in your future travels.
Guide Ahmed has guided us really super nice this day. Everything was on time at the hotel and good communication. During the car ride Ahmed told about the history is of Malacca, once he arrived he told us even more and guided the tour around the fortress. There was room for taking pictures he really took the time for us. Thank you Ahmed for this nice day
Rich experience.in past times of a city. Good driver and nice traditional meal.
My mother and I visted Malacca. From our pick up time, the tour guide - Nelson, was very helpful and polite. Throughout our journey, the bus driver was also very good. Nelson was such an insightful tour guide, sharing his knowledge of Malacca and rich historical facts about the places we visited. We had a blast!
Wonderful tour. Everything was detailed as it was written and tour guide Johnson was super good tour throughout.
I went with Vera and it was very good. He was very helpful and explained all the places we visited in a very good way. He was very respectful and friendly.
Our driver, Mr Vera was punctual. He drove with great care. He took us to see what the itinerary said and gave us clear explanation. His car is clean.
We had a wonderful tour with a very knowledgeable guide. The places we visited were rich in history, and the lunch was excellent. Just a tip: if you want to visit churches and museums, avoid going on a Monday because many are closed
