Joana – Switzerland

This tour was really good and worth the money. Our guide (Johnson) planned everything and the day was well organized. He guided us through Melaka and did some explaining himself and after lunch we had time to explore Melaka by ourselves. Truly recommend this tour.

Akvilė – Lithuania

Great tour, maybe could have been a bit shorter as they give plenty of time for self exploration of Melaka. We liked the pick and drop off to our hotel. Really convenient.
