Paul – Canada

Was a great laid back get away from the hustle and bustle of KL. Mk and Siva did an excellent job of keeping the group on time and on track.

Our tour to Malacca was absolutely wonderful. The organization was flawless, and the itinerary was both interesting and enriching, offering a perfect blend of history, culture, and sightseeing. Every aspect of the program was thoughtfully planned, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. What truly set this tour apart, however, was our guide, Ning. Her deep knowledge and enthusiasm for her country were truly inspiring. She brought the stories of Malacca to life through her detailed explanations and engaging anecdotes, creating a memorable and educational experience. Ning’s warm and approachable nature made it easy to connect with her, and her insights gave us a deeper appreciation of Malacca’s rich heritage. Thanks to Ning’s exceptional guidance, this tour became an unforgettable journey. We would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a well-organized and meaningful exploration of Malacca, especially with a guide as outstanding as Ning.
