Great tour, would highly recommend. Pace was fantastic gave a good taste of what Melaka has to offer. There was also free time allocated which was great for shopping and just exploring on your own. Ian was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable, fun and approachable. He also gave great local tips not just limited to the Melaka tour.

If one is looking for an in-depth appreciation of Melaca, then the tour offered would be a perfect fit. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, patient and willing to guide us through an understanding of the Portuguese and Dutch history of the region. Her colorful anecdotes added spice and excitement to our visit.

Pickup from hotel was spot on time - transferred to a rendezvous point where the tour bus was waiting. Pickup driver and tour bus drivers were very professional. Guide, Ian Yeow, is very professional and knowledgeable about Malacca. Day tour of Malacca was excellent, thanks to Messers Ian and Sara. In between, we had a good nyona lunch.
