I always enjoy day trips organised by Getyyourguide. They are all well planned with safety measures. Trip to Melacca wasa pleasant experience with mix of wonderful history, culture of douche and Portugese and colourful place. There is a lot to see, study and experience. Special thanks to the guide , Jonhson, who made this trip exciting with his sense of humour and assistance. The lunch served was beyond expectations. It was delicious and enough to full the tummy. Everything was good. Must visit place.

McPall is an amazing tour guide. He was punctual, soft spoken and very knowledgeable. Malacca is a beautiful town to visit but a bit touristy and little overrated in my opinion.
