Experience the best of
Malacca with Withlocals

"What an interesting town with so much history Joesph helped us find all of it in a mixture of culture & experiences and individual wishes "

"Although it was Chinese New Year holiday, Joseph had planned ahead and found an authentic Chinese restaurant to take us too - which was in fact his own local but we had to go by car - the food was amazing. He was careful to understand what we liked and level of spice we could eat - which is everything and so we enjoyed a full meal of Sambal Red Snapper, Bok Choi, Chinese Pork Rib and rice. We then drove to Jonker Street where we got to try various local snacks and drinks at the Night Market. Throughout Joseph explained what the food was but also some of the history of the buildings. By the end we had to pass on the last food option as we were so full!!!"

"Vivian was an absolutely delightful guide. About Melaka's history and culture, she was smart, informative, and accessible. Most impressive was her ability to match our energy. She talked just the right amount, let us wander just the right amount, give us food and drink choices at just the right times, and left us feeling like we had made a friend. Highly recommended! "

"Great tour around the main sites of Melaka. Joseph is a very interesting guide. We did a cycle tour along the river and went to the Villa Sentosa. It was very enjoyable. We really enjoyed Joseph’s tour "

"Vanessa took us on a lovely tour of many of the sights around Melaka. We started with the major sights and taught us all about the history of the city. We then went on to see more of the hidden gems of the back streets. Showing us street art, explaining its meanings and then taking use to a lovely cafe. It was also lovely to chat to Vanessa about her life and ours back home. She spoke great English and obviously a very clever young lady. Thank you for a great tour and the highlight of our time in Melaka. "

"I had a wonderful personalized tour with Joseph. He was easily contactable, flexible when I had to reschedule the date, and adapted the tour for my ankle injury. The itinerary included the historical sites, must try snacks, showing me some of the last traditional handmade shops, a lovely tea and toast break, cycling down alleyways and the riverfront, and ended at the Baba Nyonya heritage museum which I highly recommend. I feel I got a real sense of Melacca and learnt a lot along the way. I'd definitely recommend to do this tour to anyone coming to this lovely city. "

"Joseph made the food tour interesting with all his cultural insights. we were stuffed by the end of the tour, and had a great time. Thanks Joseph!"

"We learned about food, culture, more food, local politics, more food. It was great! "

"The food tour with Joseph was excellent . He really brought Melaka to life his historical knowledge of the area is incredible and every food experience amazing ! All the people we met along the way in each restaurant were so friendly and the food delicious . We would recommend this tour very highly "

"We spontaneously requested the food tasting tour with Vanessa the evening before and received a confirmation from Vanessa within a few minutes. We were delighted that Vanessa had time for us so spontaneously and responded quickly to our request and general questions. Vanessa responded to our individual wishes and gave us a unique tour through Malaka. She is a kind-hearted person who loves what she does and you could tell. She talked enthusiastically about the food, but also about the historical sights. It was fun to spend time with her. The tour flew by. She gave us great recommendations for the rest of our stay in Malaka. It felt like we were walking through the city with a good friend."
