Everything it said it would include ….. - A very easy day trip to see the highlights listed. Our guide was articulate and funny too. Lots to see and do but was at a steady pace. The lunch was delicious and the restaurant was clean, serving piping hot local cuisine. A simple river cruise but took in the sites available. Great day and special thanks to our guide.

Well-organized, fun tour of a beautiful city—Richard is a great guide! - We had a fantastic time with our tour guide Richard as he took us through Melaka. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and well-organized. We had a good amount of time to spend at various sites, and he brought us to an excellent restaurant for authentic local food. The vehicle was comfortable, and we liked that our group was small (5 people). Would totally recommend if you are staying in KL and want to experience a different, really pretty Malaysian city!

Tour of malacca - Richard was our tour guide, from collection from hotel he provided an excellent commentary on local sites and history of the amazing country. The tour of malacca was superb, Richard’s local knowledge and the ease we traversed the city made it a wonderful experience, with all the best photo opportunities. Lunch was at a fourth generation restaurant away from usual tourist fare and was totally delicious. Cannot recommend highly enough, this tour especially if you are lucky enough to have Richard as your guide.

A good day had by all - We were picked up at our accommodation on time then the journey was pleasant with good AC in the bus. Kugan our guide was very knowledgeable about the trip and other Malaysian affairs with he shared with us with a rock of humour. It was all well timed and organised with a nice lunch included in the price.

Malacca's historical experience and good tour guide - The tour proceeded according to schedule. When I got to the wrong meeting point, he was kind enough to help me. The tour was also good. I was able to visit places where I could understand the history of Malacca in a short time and efficiently. Danny, the tour guide, explained it well and it was a good memory to be on the tour.

Relaxing activity - short cruise up and down the river, but enjoyable. Very colourful along the river, not busy or over crowded. Pricey for what it was. but enjoyable.

An unforgettable trip to Malacca! - An unforgettable trip to Malacca! Our tour guide, Jasmin, was absolutely exceptional – a walking encyclopedia! Her knowledge of not just Malacca, but all of Malaysia (and even global history), was truly next level. She made the entire group feel comfortable and welcomed throughout the day. The places she took us to were beyond what I expected to see – real hidden gems. Lunch at a local Malaysian restaurant was fantastic, and the overall experience was great value for the price. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. That said, a few improvements would really elevate the experience: The bus could use an upgrade for better comfort. It would be nice if the pace allowed for a little more consideration for passengers, rather than rushing to the next stop. Jasmin deserves better equipment – she was using her own mic and camera, and even carrying paperwork. A digital pad and proper gear would help her do her job even better. A bit more time on the boat ride would’ve been perfect. Jasmin is a huge asset to this company, and I sincerely hope they support her with the tools she needs. Thanks for a memorable day!

Melaka river cruise trip was a bit disappointing - Our guide for the day was very informative and had a good sense of humor. The river cruise was ok. It would have been good to walk a portion of the riverside. The area around Christ Church and the fountain could have been shorter. Jonkers street walk was an interesting place to wander. Lunch was hugely disappointing. The food was very plain and had very little flavor.
