Very nice trip to see Melaka. The city is not very big and a day trip is enough to see the important spots. Mcpall was a very competent guide and could tell a lot about the history of Malaysia and Melaka. Though it was very hot and we were a group of 20+ he always kept his cool. Totally recommend.

The Melaka day trip was very well planned and allowed us to copy the more important sites in this city with lots of history. Mr. Johnston, our guide, was very knowledgeable and walked us through in great details the different times and stories of the people with also a great sense of humour. Transportation was comfortable and smooth. Free time for walking around and tasting local tastes and snacks was also a great idea for us to explore ourselves. Overall, it was a great trip and well organized.

An enjoyable day. Our guide Johnson was very knowledgeable and great fun. Malacca is a lovely place to visit on a daytrip. There was just enough time to do what we wanted. The traffic on the return journey to KL was heavy but that was expected. would recommend.
