Excellent introduction to Peranakan history and plenty of beautiful artefacts to enjoy. Yon was a fantastic guide and made the experience more enjoyable!
Excellent tour by Yon! Would recommend this place for the perfectly bite-sized intro to Peranakan culture and history. Located just by the two famous terraces of heritage houses, so makes for a really nice way to spend 30-60 minutes in the area!
A very good and informative tour - the afternoon tea was delicious, and only $10 servings per person. Beautiful museum - I recommend!
beautiful peranakan house with complimentary guided tour! recommend to have the tea and kueh - tasty, great value for money and makes for a fantastic photo prop. friendly & helpful staff if you have any questions :)
Great introduction of Peranakan culture. Good culture introduction. My daughter's photo shoot is great too!
nice experience with detailed explaination.
Very informative and interesting. Delightful guide and she is very knowledgeable. A must do. We are from NZ and we're delighted with this experience
I had an amazing solo Nyonya experience here in the Perananka Mansion! Even it was a last minute booking a night before, the team perfectly assisted me and booked me in for a wonderful experience. Upon arrival, the team greeted me delightfully and helped me dress up (allowing me to choose from so many different colours), did my hair and taught me the traditional Nyonya pose. During the photography session, the team take so many! photos for me in different spot with traditional set ups, helping me to pose naturally and beautifully (even though it was my first photo shooting experience!). I highly recommend anyone who is interested to experience traditional culture in a different way here at the Peranakan Mansion. Bless this business with lots of popularity and customers ;)))
Interesting presentation by Janice.i visited peranakan museum before but discovered New facts abt life of peranakans from her explanation.
The interpreter's explanation is wonderful and helpful! Understand the rich life of indigenous Chinese people, feel very new and learn a lot~
