Had a great tour with our guide named Lionel. It was very factual which we liked. It is very hot so bring an umbrella and fan if you can
Manoj_K, May 2026
Great experience with guide Chandran. We got a very good perspective of Malaysia’s history so everything we saw made that much more sense. Malacca is a very charming place with great history and great shopping, a must visit for anyone coming to Malaysia
Gladys_C, May 2026
Johnson was very informative and shared interesting historical facts about Malacca, making the tour more meaningful and enjoyable. It was nice learning about the heritage, culture, and stories behind the places we visited. One small reminder for future travelers — eating mango or anything inside the bus was not allowed, so it’s good to keep that in mind. Overall, it was a pleasant and educational trip. Thank you
Anna_S, May 2026
Great thanks to our guide Melvin! He made our Malacca experience unforgettable. Good itinerary, delicious lunch, comfortable bus.
KeelaraVinayaka_C, May 2026
Mr Wilson and Mr Maran, - ensured it was a perfect outing. Managed well, buses were clean, you can choose the trip with food and without, I believe without is a better option.
Richard_W, May 2026
Great value and very informative tour leader. Learnt a lot, saw a lot and highly recommend this trip
Grzegorz_O, May 2026
The trip was very enjoyable and full of interesting information. The program was well organized, and the guide, Johnson, did an excellent job—he was engaging, knowledgeable, and took good care of all the guests. During the day, we had a break for a tasty lunch at a local restaurant, which was a nice addition to the overall experience. Overall, I rate the trip very positively and would gladly join a similar tour again.Great and Informative Tour Experience
Carole_S, May 2026
Bus very confortable.
Visit interesting, with a good timing.
Nice lunch.
Lionel, the guide, was very pleasant.
We had a lot of traffic to go back to KL but not an issue with the tour of course.
I recommand the guide and the tour to discover Malacca if you don't have a lot of time as me.
Rebecca_G, Apr 2026
We visited the places stated, but guide Mag did not seem knowledgeable about them. Lunch ok but not the fusion food promised. Bus did not take us back to our hotel despite tour being advertised as pick up drop off to hotel. Would not recommend.
Jacose_B, Apr 2026
Be prepared for a very hot day and rain. The sites were interesting but the information and narration provided was rather sparse. I would suggest doing some research ahead in your own to improve your understanding on the tour. I was a bit unclear a lot of the time of the history and story of places we visited.
Helene_M, Apr 2026
It was a long bus ride and not very interesting. Our guide was very knowledgeable, but I didn’t think it was worth a day trip.
Claire_G, Apr 2026
Vino was a very knowledgeable and efficient guide. Malacca was very interesting and I definitely recommend this day trip to experience the world heritage site.
Jean_r, Apr 2026
This tour begins at the oldest church in Malacca, followed by a photo stop at the mosque, then a climb up to some ruins with a panoramic view, and walk back down to the red Square. While the lunch was tasty, the portion was not enough for six people at the table. I would suggest large larger portions the free time allows you to see Melaka at your own pace for at least two hours. Vino provided an excellent commentary and endured that everyone had the information needed to meet the bus after the free time. I recommend this Tour.
Mario_S, Apr 2026
The tour was a bad experience, even in normal traffic it takes 3 hours to get to Malacca and usually more to get back, and when you get there there's little to see.
The churches were bare and uninteresting, the mosque looked nice but you see it only from a distance, there's little left of the old fort and in the main street you'll find just gift shop that are the same of any market in Kuala Lumpur.
The guide Nelson stayed with us only for the visit at the fort, for the rest of the time he just gave some basic info on the bus and we were left alone.
Timothy_B, Apr 2026
After a bit of a slow start getting out of KL, we ended up having a great day trip. Johnson, our tour guide was great. As we got closer to Malacca, he filled us with interesting stories and the history of the area.
The included lunch was surprisingly nice and the comfort of AC was very welcomed. Great Day out, highly recommend!
Hazel_C, Apr 2026
Fantastic value for money. Johnson was a brilliant guide. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Food at local restaurant for lunch was excellent. All in all a fabulous in a beautiful place
Dawn_T, Apr 2026
Great itinerary…and our great guide, Ning, was really informative and shared lots of information with us. Enjoyed seeing Malacca, the mosque, temples, and churches, and Jonker Street as well. It’s 2 hours out there and it took over 3 hours to return to the city. Enjoyed the day!
Himanshu_V, Apr 2026
Good tour of the city of Malacca with tour guide Lionel, who was very knowledgable about Malaysia and history of the places we visited.
Emerald_A, Apr 2026
It was a great time. Bus was comfy, tour guide was knowledgeable. And the lunch was better than expected.
Enency_J, Apr 2026
Great experience Lots to see and lot of walking. Guide is very knowledgeable on the history of the visited locations. Spacious and comfortable bus
Adele_R, Mar 2026
This is a good deal if you don't want to spend the night in Melaka. But as other reviews say the time you spent on bus is particularly long. The guide was informative and funny and the lunch was good, but there were not so much vegetarian choices. Organisers might work on that.
Also I took this trip on Monday and only when I arrived there, I was informed that all government-run museums were closed, which was a real pity.
Kym_B, Mar 2026
Great tour! Yes a long drive but totally worth it, what an interesting town. Great lunch and free time at the end of the tour was good. Johnson was an excellent guide and our driver did well (double the time to get home due to end of long weekend traffic!).
Christobel_I, Mar 2026
My tour guide was Vino, she was great. Very knowledgeable and just really friendly in general.
Drive up with Siva at the helm made for a comfortable experience too.
Rose_W, Feb 2026
Great tour covering all the highlights of Malacca in one day. Vino was an excellent guide. From the minute we got on the bus, she explained how the day was planned and at each stop gave us lots of background information. She really seemed to care that we enjoyed our day and our driver Mr Magan was excellent.
Highly recommend this tour as it manages to cover all the main tourist attractions in one day, has a lovely lunch included and you even get a couple of hours before leaving to explore on your own. This gives you time to visit the museum, the shops or have a short river cruise.
Rana_H, Feb 2026
Malacca is worth a visit. Great tour organizers with Vino. Enjoyed the city. I recommend this tour if you are traveling in group or solo.
Laarnicamba, Feb 2026
Travel time was so long. Being said that, the seat belts don't work. Vino was great providing all the information and clear on the meeting place. The lunch was good.
Liam_C, Feb 2026
Amazing trip with Nelson - guided us in a friendly, humorous, knowledgable and professional manner. We seen a wide range of sights, the stops were perfectly timed and the lunch suited a broad palette.
PatrickL, Feb 2026
A good balance between guided and on your own tour. Definitely, a day trip worthy of your time while visiting or staying in Kuala Lumpur.
Laura_D, Feb 2026
This was a good experience and we saw a lot. The reason I'm giving it a four star is because it was such a large group of people and it was hard keeping everyone together. I give the guide an excellent rating - he was informative.
Habeeb81, Feb 2026
Convenient day trip to Malacca the historic city of Malaysia, which was one of the most important cities for trade, around the fifteenth century. the oldest of the four famous trading ports in southwest Asia. The tour includes old city, church, mosque, temple, Portuguese fortress, Dutch neighbourhood, main square, and ends with lunch and some free time to visit other places or for shopping.
