Malacca Day Trip - It was a great day touring Malacca. Ruben is an excellent driver and guide, I learned a ton about the history of Malacca. Malacca is very beautiful and a place I had wanted to see for years.

Pretty location steeped in history - It's a very scenic place, we went out of season so it was quite quiet but our guide had lots of things planned including visits to a mosque and Buddhist temple, a historic Portuguese church and recommendations on where to eat and drink. We also had time for a small boat tour (for a small fee) which was an added optional extra. Rajan was our guide, he was very informative and helpful, especially as the heat was so demanding.

Historical walk through Malaka's history. - Is it a bit out of the way but very exciting. The monuments and historic value was outstanding. The tour guide was well informed and friendly.

Excellent Malacca Crash Course - I had an amazing time on this tour. Ruben was my tour guide, and I can’t rave enough about how much entertainment he brought to the tour through his balance of humor and genuine knowledge of the history of the area. After walking me around town and giving me an in-depth description of various points of interest, we went for an included lunch at a Peranakan restaurant (food was great), I was given ample time to retrace my steps or explore different parts of the town by myself. Transfer from and back to the hotel was also provided by Ruben, and he was super efficient and timely in that regard.

Stay away from this tour - I've had quite positive experiences with Viator tours in the past, but this was my worst experience for the following reasons: 1. Our guide's unsafe driving on the return trip to Kuala Lumpur included swerving across highway lanes, speeding well above posted limits, and constantly using multiple phones while driving--all of which made me fear for our safety. 2. Our guide seemed un-interested and kept going ahead at his own pace, even as we stopped to take pictures and read info plaques. 3. He kept taking regular smoke breaks (even while walking with us on the tour) and left us in the car with the engine on for a smoke break on the way back at a highway rest stop. 4. When we asked for lunch recommendations in Melaka, he seemed surprised as to why we needed a lunch break after 3 hours in the hot sun. I cannot recommend this tour to others. To top it all off, it was certainly extremely overpriced, and we didn't end up getting a good understanding of Melaka, which has immense historical significance.

Do not recommend - We were very disappointed with the service today. No tour guide, no support. For the price that was charged this is a totally unacceptable service. Complete ripoff. All we received was the transport to Malacca.

Terrible experience and tour-guide. - A tourist-trap. Tour is not well planned. No proper explanation of sites was given. The guide was biased to a few vendor shops that she wanted us to visit (for obvious reasons). The visits were rushed and mal-coordinated. She kept insisting on getting tips several times. She was also biased against Muslims and Muslim culture (she didn't know that we were Muslims ourselves). A terrible experience in my humble view. Find another company.
