Brilliant Tour - No was an exceptional guide. His passion for the history of Malacca was clear as he guided us around. The trip itself was fantastic due to Mo’s knowledge. At all times of the day he ensured we were looked after. A very informative interesting day.

Wonderful Day - We had a fantastic day that started with the river tour. It was short but sweet, the location was beautiful and we saw a few monitor lizards so that was cool. Douglas, our guide, was very knowledgeable throughout the historical tour and our lunch was absolutely plentiful & delicious! It was a 11.5 hr day by the time we got back to KL but so worth it!

Wonderful Malacca River Cruise & Historical Tour – Great Guide Mr. Yoga! - We had a wonderful experience on the Kuala Lumpur Malacca River Cruise and Historical Tour with Lunch, and Mr. Yoga was an excellent guide. He was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable throughout the entire trip. He made the journey comfortable and shared many interesting facts about Malacca’s history, culture, and landmarks, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Mr. Yoga was also very attentive and made sure everyone was having a good time. The tour was well organized, and we never felt rushed. The Malacca River cruise was beautiful and definitely a highlight of the day. Thank you, Mr. Yoga, for making our visit to Malacca such a memorable experience. We highly recommend this tour and especially Mr. Yoga as a guide!

Anniversary in Malacca - Our guide Kugan made the visit more meaningful with some historical, political and social background. Tour was well organised with a good mix of structured activities and free time.

River and city trip - Very enjoyable day trip, our guide Kugan was knowledgeable and fun and he made it interesting and worthwhile. Driver Sana was polite and got us around safely. It's a good city to visit as it's not too big and you're not walking around too much in the heat. There are lots of little quirky shops and crafts and cafes to enjoy. The river trip was a nice experience and we saw huge iguanas. Would recommend.

Interesting day in Malacca - It is a very long, very hot day, though we did do everything on the itinerary. Douglas gave a very thorough commentary and did his best to lift flagging spirits in the heat. The included lunch was very good. The traffic in KL when we returned was ridiculous and that part of the journey actually took the longest.

A bad decision - I paid for a premier excursion but that was scam because people who paid for standard were on this same excursion.The transport was pathetic,a mini van with no suspension.The driver was going over the speed ramps at a speed where we on back seat were 2 feet in the air at times.The guide Kugan was knowledgeable and the only good thing about this excursion.No way would I recommend it.No way

Ridiculous scam pickup tour that doesn't pick up customers at assigned time. - Travelers SHOULD NOT sign up for this tour. This is totally RIDICULOUS. I will file a complain report to the Consumer Affairs. I waited in my assigned pickup location (right in front of my hotel as assigned so I could not have missed the bus at the assigned time) HALF an hour prior to my assigned pickup time (8am) and did not see the pickup bus. I messaged the tour operator at around 8:20am. The tour operator replied AFTER half an hour and said they had proceeded the tour without me. This ruined the whole experience for my trip. So, here is what I will do: (1) File a complain to the Consumer Affair about this ridiculous service, (2) Request a full refund of this tour, and (3) I will likely not consider using this service any more going forward (for any trips) and will tell all my friends not to consider using this service also.
