A very happy trip. Information will be sent via email the night before departure, and we will leave on time at 8 o'clock. The tour guide Ah Xing can speak fluent Chinese and Cantonese, and is very knowledgeable about the stories of various buildings in Malacca. Although the lunch is in a small restaurant , but the food quality is also very good, I would recommend this trip.

Booking confirmation received right after payment, as well as the email. Redemption was easy. You’ll just show the voucher code in pdf/klook app/apple wallet to exchange for a physical ticket plus free bottled water. This experience took about a minute to go up, stay up for 5mins and a minute to go down. This is a great exoerience especially on a sunset.

I bought the tickets from Klook when I arrived. It took seconds to confirm booking after payment. The counter lady scanned my vouchers and off we went to the deck. We even received a water bottle each upon scanning Klook vouchers.

We had a great time at menara taming sari. The queue was not so long that day. Also they provided chairs at the queue area. Tickets were cheaper to buy here than to buy at the attraction.
