Must Visit Malacca - Great little place to visit. It was overdone touristy with the Hello Kitty type transportation, but a nice place to look around. Also did a little river excursion which provided a different aspect. Very colourful. Again we did this with a driver, so the day was well planned out.

Trip to Malaysia 2024 - One of the most memorable trips of 2024 was my two-week journey to Malaysia, and I’m still reminiscing about the experience! While the entire trip was amazing, the standout moment was my visit to Malacca. Malacca is a true gem, brimming with historical significance. Exploring its streets felt like a captivating journey through time. The rich blend of Portuguese, Dutch, and British influences is vividly reflected in its architecture and museums. I was particularly enchanted by historic landmarks like A Famosa Fort and the Stadthuys. Every corner of Malacca seemed to narrate a piece of its fascinating past. For anyone interested in history or eager to explore Malaysia's heritage, Malacca is a must-visit destination. The depth of historical value combined with its charming atmosphere made it an unforgettable highlight of my trip. Highly recommended!

historical flavour - Colonial flavor city full of colors and hidden corners to visit. Welcoming and particular. From the top of the fort you have a very nice view of the city

Tour Malacca, just be careful with whom… - A tour of Malacca to learn about its fascinating history is a must-do while in Malaysia. Unfortunately, we were assigned a guide, Zul, who was less invested in introducing us to Malacca and seemingly more concerned about taking us up on our offer that he join us for lunch. As a result, he pretty much cut our tour short. We were not taken to Jonker Street, not introduced to major historical buildings, and we were told to go into the museum on our own time despite that we had plenty of time to visit these places, among others. I regret that we didn’t take a firmer stance and insist we tour Malacca to the extent for which we paid $400. U.S. dollars. And yes, we learned that we were overcharged and ripped off, but that’s a whole other issue. Tour Malacca, but not with Zul.

Stay away from this tour - I've had quite positive experiences with Viator tours in the past, but this was my worst experience for the following reasons: 1. Our guide's unsafe driving on the return trip to Kuala Lumpur included swerving across highway lanes, speeding well above posted limits, and constantly using multiple phones while driving--all of which made me fear for our safety. 2. Our guide seemed un-interested and kept going ahead at his own pace, even as we stopped to take pictures and read info plaques. 3. He kept taking regular smoke breaks (even while walking with us on the tour) and left us in the car with the engine on for a smoke break on the way back at a highway rest stop. 4. When we asked for lunch recommendations in Melaka, he seemed surprised as to why we needed a lunch break after 3 hours in the hot sun. I cannot recommend this tour to others. To top it all off, it was certainly extremely overpriced, and we didn't end up getting a good understanding of Melaka, which has immense historical significance.

Not a tour of Malacca but a silent driver who drops you off in Malacca with no info - I would not call this trip a tour in any sense - it’s purely a driver who takes you to Malacca in a small car, hands you a map once you’re there and then leaves you to explore for a few hours. I was hoping to at least learn some about Malacca. Our driver barely spoke English or explained anything, just drove us there and back. He filled up on gas with us halfway on the way there and then on the way back had to pull over for 10 minutes by a toll stop since he didn’t have enough money loaded. He made us do a river cruise at the end and took us to the ticket counter but we had to buy our own tickets (lol). He also asked us rudely what took us so long once we got off the boat, but we had to wait 30 minutes to board. Also, this tour company wanted me to take this review down but I’m attempting to resubmit.

Terrible experience and tour-guide. - A tourist-trap. Tour is not well planned. No proper explanation of sites was given. The guide was biased to a few vendor shops that she wanted us to visit (for obvious reasons). The visits were rushed and mal-coordinated. She kept insisting on getting tips several times. She was also biased against Muslims and Muslim culture (she didn't know that we were Muslims ourselves). A terrible experience in my humble view. Find another company.

Do NOT book with this company - I had initial concerns because the company/driver blatantly ignored my attempts to discuss the tour with them beforehand. But, I gave them the benefit of the doubt and thought maybe they were just busy. My driver, Rayhan, was late and treated me just like a taxi driver; he made me sit in the back and he didn't talk to me for the entire 2 hour ride to Melaka. He then gave me a very fast and unenthusiastic history when we arrived and he showed me around. I felt like maybe it may get better as we spent more time interacting, but he was aloof and acted like he didn't want to be there. The drive back was the worst part: he drove like a maniac. He was holding down the horn, cutting people off, weaving in and out of traffic, gesturing at other drivers, and cursing under his breath. I honestly thought a few times that he was going to hit someone. It was TERRIBLE. Then when we got back to my building he argued with me that I didn't know how to use my own access card. He ruined for me what could have been a fun day in an interesting city. I reported my issues to Viator and they issued me a full refund after the company never responded to them after three attempts to discuss my concerns. I suggested to Viator that they remove this company from their site; I had a terrible experience and I would recommend that no one book with them.

A long pricy uber - The driver probably said 15 words the whole trip and dropped us off in Malacca with a map. Just a very pricy Uber from Kuala Lumpur to Malacca.
