Highlights
  • Red Square (Dutch Square) - Customers are welcomed by an English-speaking driver-cum-guide (supplements apply for a private guide) who warmly greets you at your downtown Kuala Lumpur hotel. We may encounter some traffic in the morning, but within no time, your driver will head southbound towards Malacca as he/she will explain of what may come while you enjoy the view of the local side of the country. Depending on traffic conditions, the drive will take approximately 1.5 hours before we reach Malaysia’s former port and trading post along the shores of the Malacca Strait. One of the most recognized sites in Malacca is the Dutch Square with its characteristic, pink-coloured Stadthuys, a reminder of the Dutch colonial influences, and one of the main reasons Malacca received UNESCO protection in 2008.

This tour is not worth it at all. if i... - <p>This tour is not worth it at all. if i can give - minus for the rating i will. First of all, it was not organized. the driver didn't knew that everything is included. And it says in their itirenary that entrance fees with the S, it means plural, not 1 entrance fee. we didn't got a tour guide that was included. The lunch.. OMG... last minute arrangement and it was not good at all. A fiasco lunch.... I think this tour should be deleted from Viator... NOT WORTH THE PRICE AT ALL. The total experience was not good at all.. it was BAD.... really BAD and i will not... nor never will i recommend this tour.... they just tricked us. THe driver and the company didn't have any good communications at all. Don't write on your itirenary if it's not included and don't over price because it's not worth every penny. DON'T BUY THIS TOUR IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GET TRICKED.</p>
