Fantastic day in Malacca - We had a very enjoyable day with the Mohammed our tour director. We had plenty of time to see everything that we needed to see and as it was a hot day we even had the root change a little bit to accommodate some of the older people that didn’t need to be walking in the heat.

Amazing town with lots of history - Had a really great time. Loved the boat cruise, saw iguanas in the mangroves and the colorful town. Everything was great as planned. Be aware that there are many steps including a steep climb to the old church on the hill. If it’s very hot, make sure you have water. My guide was outstanding and he was able to get me Gatorade, which has electrolytes to help with the heat. The lunch was very good too and we tried all kinds of new dishes. The entire trip was outstanding

Must've day trip from Kuala Lumpar - A must do experience. The only way to see Malacca is to walk. The river cruise was great. Lunch was nice. But the highlights are just walking around the town of Malacca and seeing how local lives and the colourful buildings.

Malacca - Enjoyable day, we had booked a shared group activity. In the end there were only 3 people & felt like a private tour. Our driver/guide (Suren) picked up us on time and was very informative about the history of Malacca

Not recommended - It's not worth Malacca. Almost nothing interesting. The good guide but the horrible, bearded food. Fried chicken, boiled rice, tasteless vegetables and French tortilla! Luxury, come on.

Missed the tour as they start ahead is schedule - I have booked Malacca tour, which supposed to start at 8.15 am. The tour operator contacted me to be ready at pick up location by 7.25. Which we couldn’t. Then I informed them I will reach the starting point by 8.00 am. But due to taxi availability and traffic, we reach at location by 8.10, but they left at 8.05 without listening my request to wait 5 more minutes.
