Highly Recommend! - This trip was absolutely fun! It also took out the hassle of having to make my way all the way there and all the way back, and the tour guide was very informative. I truly learnt a lot while I was there. I would personally highly recommend doing this tour.

Worth Booking - Really worth booking this trip as you learn a lot about Malacca through the guide. Thank you Maran - who was basically a history teacher throughout this tour. Their team were professional through the entire tour.
If youre young women or elderly please book this shared tour as being in the coach and amongst a group felt safe and youre given 1 hour of your own time at the end of trip to go explore Malacca, which was a great moment for us.
Unfortunately we had a horrible experience with a private tour guide, but Thank you Maran and his team for more than making up for it with this tour. We appreciate you guys 🙏

Malacca with Raja - Raja was an excellent guide, giving us lots of information about the history of Malacca on our drive. We saw all the places we wanted to see and more as Raja wanted us to see as much as we could. We had a Baba Nyonya meal that was lovely. Thoroughly enjoyed the day and would highly recommend Raja as your guide.

Maran was just amazing - Excellent experornce. We took a tour the day before where the guide did not point out anything or talk unless he was asked a question. Maran was like a history teacher and did continuously feed us with interesting facts about the country, people, culture, Melacca... Highly recommended

Malacca is rich in history - Malacca is rich in history and culture. This trip is a big full day with interesting stops. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour.
If your staying in Kuala Lumpa and have a spare day you will not regret taking this Malacca trip.

Malacca Tour Review Disappointment - Poor guide. More a driver than a guide. No history given of locations. Also lest waiting on two occasions during tour without communication. Could be interesting tour with right guide

Transfer to/from Melaka, not a tour - Pick up was 30 min late. Maybe we misunderstood the trip, however, this was purely transport only to Melaka and not a guided tour of the city. We got dropped off with a half hearted explanation of where to get the lunch and had to be back 4 hours later. We had to seek information and what to do all by ourselves.

Disappointing waste of a day and opportunity - Very disappointing. Due to our original driver having car issues, a replacement driver was found quickly but a complete communication breakdown between tour company and drivers, we ended up departing 2 hours late in a small cramped car. Christopher was our guide and he was very new, so he barely spoke and did not have much knowledge of area. We spent barely an hour sight seeing, then he dropped us at an average restaurant in an industrial area for lunch. After 2 hours waiting there with no communication from him, he finally messaged us (following messages from us) saying his car was having problems but he had now fixed it. So he came to pick us up then took us past a river cruise which was not included, so we waited another hour for one person to do the cruise, again in an area where there was nothing to see or do. Then we drove home, again in silence.
The 'tour' was very disappointing and mostly a waste of a day and not what we booked or paid for. I will be requesting a refund, which should have been given automatically.
Melaka itself is very nice and would recommend going, but not with this particular driver/guide.
