Great experience..! Booked for private tour since I bring my parents (elderly). The car is comfortable for 4 person. We can adjust the itinerary, as we want to visit Masjid Selat. Lunch also included. Uncle Steve (driver also guide) brought us to enjoy asam pedas for lunch, the authentic food of Malaka.

The tour guide Xiao Ma was very friendly and prepared at the waiting point very early. He was very accommodating to our preferences when visiting the attractions. We could see what we wanted to see and skip what we didn't want to see. He gave us enough space throughout the whole journey. Overall, this trip was very pleasant.
