I learned so much from this tour, starting with the history of when the state was founded all the way to the present day. Johnson explained everything clearly and engagingly, which made the experience truly memorable. I’ll definitely recommend this tour to my fellow travelers. The ride itself was very comfortable, and the lunch we enjoyed was satisfyingly delicious. Thank you again to Johnson and our captain for making this such a wonderful experience.

the guide, MC, was amazing. full of humor and information to share about Melacca and Malaysia! the itinerary was simple but full of heritage and culture! downside was that the weather was so hot in the afternoon, you need to find a place where it has aircon like coffee shops and restaurants. but food was amazing!!

Great tour experience! Medyo far ang Malacca from KL pero it was never an issue because very comfortable ang buong trip namin. Our tour guide was very patient and very knowledgeable about Malacca history, kaya mas naging interesting yung tour. One day tour lang siya but it was full of history and fun💛Big thanks to Patrick, our guide, for the wonderful experience!

Yesterday, we joined a Chinese tour group with our guide, Xiao Xingxing. The pace of the tour was just right for us, especially since we were with my mother (in her 60s). We started with a two-hour drive to Malacca, making a restroom stop along the way, followed by a visit to a church. Once we arrived in Malacca, the guide first explained the city's history. Afterward, we had a delicious Nyonya-style set meal. Then, we had two hours of free time to explore Jonker Street and the Red Church, where we could also buy souvenirs. Before we started exploring, our guide even gave us tips on how to buy durian and recommended souvenir shops. For those who didn't want to shop, like the elderly, she also suggested places for massages to pass the time. We returned to Kuala Lumpur around 6 PM, and our guide enthusiastically shared recommendations for fun places and good food in Kuala Lumpur! The entire trip was perfectly planned! I highly recommend this day trip to Malacca for anyone visiting!

Our tour guide, Little Star, is a great storyteller. The itinerary was well-planned, and they introduced a lot of Malaysian culture and Malacca's history. A recommended tour guide and one-day tour.

The tour was hassle-free. The whole family enjoyed the rich history and beautiful tourist spots. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and he even took our photo as a group. The tour is well-planned hence we are able to see a lot of tourist spots despite the limited time and traffic. We will recommend this in the future.
