Enjoyable day trip to Malacca from Kuala Lumpur - We enjoyed our day trip to Malacca. The car was comfortable and our driver Nami was professional. On the day of our trip I received a WhatsApp call but my settings don't allow calls from strangers, so when I saw the missed call, I added Nami as a contact and I was able to reply. Make sure you change your settings prior to your trip. Nami was punctual and arrived early. Nami said that usually there is a lot of traffic going to Melacca at weekends and roads are closed. If you can go on a weekday, I expect the drive may be shorter. Nami said it could take three hours to drive back sometimes. We were very lucky that the Sunday we chose was the one after the school holidays so traffic was not bad. We enjoyed this private car charter and enjoyed exploring on our own. We had a few photo stops; time to shop in a market and also 2.5 hour free time in central Malacca. Nami took photos of us at each stop and said they were for the office and not for social media. I expect this is proof we went to each stop. I didn't really like to have my photo taken but I guess his boss asked him, so I agreed. We would recommend this tour as it's straightforward and great to hop into a car with air conditioning.

Great driver - Our driver was great. He was very friendly and answered all our questions. He made sure we knew where we were going and had plenty of time to explore! If you want a guided tour with a guide walking you around I’d recommend a different tour. If you are happy exploring on your own (like we were) this is great!
