Ideal for a 2-4 day stay

Great value tour, both time wise and money wise. If you don’t have a week to explore KL and its surrounding areas including Malacca, this is what you should be booking. Guide Sasi signature lighthearted yet informed style deserves a mention.

DO NOT BOOK ANY MALACCA TRIP ON A MONDAY

my trip was on a monday and i wasn’t informed that all the museums and the church will be closed on that day as it is an off day. the guide only told us when we got there. my question is if it’s a known fact that the museums and the church will be closed, why wasn’t this information posted as a disclaimer when someone is trying to book on a monday? really ruined my experience in malacca

Enjoy Malacca.

It was very good. I don’t know if it was because of the large number of people attending or every time, but the big bus ride allowed us to get to Malacca in a relaxed way! Our guide told us about all the places we wanted to go and the good places! Thank you very much.
