Hassle-free daytrip to historical sights - It was a great trip to Melakka. 1.5h on the way to M. and 2.5h back to KL due to traffic. The city center is easily walkable and my great driver Aris helped me find all the historical locations. I also dipped into the museum at the Stadthaus, which was worth it. Everything went smoothly and hassle-free. The tour is greatly recommended.

I loved the trip! I got a... - I loved the trip! I got a complimentary lunch from the company as well! I got foot massage in Malaka. There are many shop to see and religious sites as well but everything is next to each other.

TOP - Our guide Jonson was really excellent: he gave us that little special to make our experience interesting, pleasant and fun. The tour was well organized, with enough time to visit all the places. After lunch (which was good and tasteful) we also had more than 2 hours for freely walk around in the city center! Super

Malay history tour - Nice cultural trip of Malay history, particularly from the times of Dutch and British colonial era. Typical buildings with Dutch architecture.

A really good day trip from KL - My driver, Aris, was very informative and friendly. He knew all the best spots to visit and where to take the best photos from. The local Malaysian lunch was really tasty. I would definitely recommend this trip to others and if you get Aris as your driver you can't go wrong.

Wonderful driver for this tour - can’t say the same about the provider - Firstly, the driver Indiran was awesome - patient, kind, helpful & professional. It was the Diwali weekend so the traffic was an absolute nightmare. Indiran remained cheerful throughout. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same complimentary things about Asni Global, the tour operator. When they sent me the tickets, there was a phone number & the explanation “ If you have your specific questions, call the operator “. It would have been easier for me to win the jackpot in the Lottery. This is a provider who doesn’t answer calls & has recorded messages saying “The number you called is busy. Please try your call later.” Twice would have been fine but when it is constant, you get the expression that the provider wants nothing to do with you or any questions you may have. I cannot in all honesty recommend this provider. The driver was great & Melaka was okay - just don’t have any tour specific questions or ask for information as nobody in the provider’s office actually answers phone calls.

Really good trip - Overall the tour experience was really good! Rajan was really engaging and helpful and we had a pleasant drive and learned about the historical place of Malacca. Personally I didn’t find Malacca itself very impressive - but this is my personal experience!

Malacca - a must visit destination, but be aware of tour surcharges! - The day trip to Malacca was very enjoyable. We were picked up early due to anticipated traffic problems (Chinese New Year) but the journey was very smooth, taking 2 hours to get to Malacca and 3 hours back to KL. That gave us 8 hours in Malacca which was a decent amount of time to see the main sights. The "tour" part around the Malacca historical sites actually only took 2 hours, after which time we were free to do as we wished, which I appreciated. The only issue - and it is a rather big one - was that we were asked to pay the guide an additional USD$20 pp cash at the conclusion of the trip - he said it was for "the extras" but we weren't clear on what the extras were ... Adding another 25% (AU$30) on to a trip which cost AU$117 seemed a bit strange. But we all paid up, as what were we to do? Not saying the guide ripped us off (he was a very lovely man, knowledgeable and informative) but none of us were really clear as to what this "surcharge" was for, and we should have been informed about any surcharges upfront. One of our tour group didn't have any MYR cash on him at all and had to locate a money changer whilst we all waited in the vehicle. Perhaps Viator can respond?

DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR THROUGH VIATOR - Do not book this tour through Viator! The exact same tour is available for 1/3 of the price on Klook. This itinerary is slightly outdated (not the first time this has been an issue with things I’ve booked on Viator), there is no hotel drop off, they just take you back to two spots in KL and the additional lunch that they charge almost £20 more for is definitely not worth it!! Whilst the restaurant we went to was nice, you would assume that a local lunch would mean Malaysian food but it doesn’t and £20 for a meal anywhere in Malaysia is very expensive!! When contacting Viator about this I was told they’d send my feedback to the operator and I would hear back… that was over a week ago and I have heard nothing. I spent almost £70 on this trip when it is not what I expected and others purchased it for £24 on Klook - The Viator mark-up is crazy!!
