Things to do in Malacca River

Malaca is a very beautiful city with loads of historical sites. Our guide, Ms. Nadia Yeow, gave detailed directions/guidelines about the tour, what to expect, and how to prepare for the day. She was amazingly knowledgeable and friendly. We were introduced to historical sites with references briefly explained, and we were given some time to click pictures. Nadia herself helped us to take couple photos at locations. We were given water breaks in between to cool down in the scorching heat and shown shops, vendors, or stores if we wanted to purchase souvenirs, eat local food, etc. Overall the trip is worth every penny (if you can walk under scroching heat) and are interested in historical references. Also to Ms. Nadia for making this walking tour even better.

Since there were no other participants on the day of my visit, I had a one-on-one lesson learning how to make four types of Nyonya kuih. The classroom was new and clean. The instructor was easy to talk to and patiently answered all my questions. Since I was alone, I also enjoyed chatting about topics other than Nyonya kuih, such as local food and travel. I highly recommend this as a great way to add a cooking experience to your sightseeing itinerary.

Michelle is the absolute best! Thanks to her reassuring guidance, we had the most wonderful time in Malaysia! ​My husband and I barely speak any English, but she tried her best to explain everything in very simple, easy-to-understand English. On top of that, she was available on LINE, and used LINE's translation feature to explain the sights in great detail, so even Japanese travelers who can't speak English can enjoy sightseeing without any worries at all! ​She was super punctual with timing, taught us a lot about Malaysian culture, and even recommended a great, top-rated restaurant for the Nyonya cuisine we really wanted to try in Malacca. To top it all off, we are so deeply grateful that she took tons of wonderful photos and videos for us! ​We highly recommend Michelle from the bottom of our hearts!

At the beginning, our tour guide was in a great hurry, which fortunately subsided as the tour progressed. We were able to visit the most important sights during daylight, after which we had time to eat and stroll around before being taken by rickshaw to the boat tour in the dark. Everything was well organized and a worthwhile tour.

I wanted to visit Malacca during my business trip to Kuala Lumpur, so I signed up for this tour that allows solo travelers. The listed departure time was in the morning, but perhaps because Friday is a day of prayer for Muslims, we departed at noon and returned to Kuala Lumpur late at night. I was grouped with other Japanese participants via LINE. Our guide, Felix, was very kind and efficiently took us to photo spots, where he took great pictures for us. Once we arrived in Malacca, he also took us to a Nyonya restaurant for dinner, which was quite beautiful and had a lovely atmosphere. When I mentioned I wanted to go to Tan Kim Hock, he took us there as well. I believe this tour is the only way to visit so many places in such a short amount of time.

What a great day we had! Sathia was the perfect guide and made the whole trip lots of fun. She is very knowledgeable and made sure that we got to see and experience everything that we wanted.. We would definitely do this again - thank you for a 5 star day, Sathia!

I did not tell them, but it was my birthday on the day of tour. I was solo travelling. I loved how the tour guide, Mohammad, made us all feel special. He called us all by name and remembered us each. I learned alot from his history, he gave us ample time for our needs, and he was sooo kind, i just wnjoyed everything. … About Melaka, it was beautiful. I am a Christian. It was a big difference from the islam/hindu vibes of the rest of Malaysia. I think I want to stay a night here next time i am in Malaysia

It is a great experience even though it started at night because of the light showcase, but it is safe with proper guidance from the team from the Dream Forest Langkawi and advisable to go by all ages to know the history, to know the story about the Langkawi old folk story. And thank you to Imanina, she's the team from the Dream Forest, have giving us the chance to have fun at the scream interactive area to showcase fireflies and also, you know, to be together with the family.

The weather was beautiful on the day of the trip, with clear skies. The journey officially began as soon as we arrived at the pier. The captain provided commentary and guided us to Crocodile Island and Pregnant Maiden Island. Afterwards, we docked at an island for some free time, then fed bread to fish, and watched the eagle feeding, which was very exciting. Finally, on the return trip, the captain demonstrated his amazing water-skimming skills, leaving everyone in awe. It was an unforgettable journey.
