Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"From the very beginning, the experience felt incredibly warm and personal, like walking through the streets of Malacca with a good friend. Jason guided us through the city with so much love and passion, helping us truly understand and feel Malacca rather than just learn facts about it. Everywhere he took us, we were welcomed just as warmly. A particular highlight was the shared lunch together, which felt very special and authentic. Later on, we even visited him at his Love Music Vinyl Cafe and spent New Year’s Eve there. For anyone who values a mindful, respectful approach and wants more than just historical information, but rather a genuine sense of the soul of Malacca, Jason is the perfect guide. We will always look back on this day with fond memories and truly hope to return one day."
"Joseph really knows his history of Malacca and explains it in a very good humoured way. Expect a good workout on your walk, although of course he would adapt to your needs. Overall, an excellent few hours, especially good if you only have a short time in Malacca."
"Joseph met us promptly at the pre organized location He was very knowledgeable and could provide us with great local knowledge My dad is not able to walk much or fast and Joseph was so accomodating, I felt so grateful for his care and attention towards my parents whilst making sure everyone was engaged Additionally I asked for local recommendations for after the tour and I actually went to some and they were all great recommendations! Thank you Joseph "
"Joseph was the most incredible guide!! He looked after us from the moment we arrived finding a restaurant (as we were late and hungry!). He then shared each location with incredible insight and passion. He flexed the tour to deal with my elderly parents ensuring it was enjoyable. The piece de resistance was that he found us after the tour looking lost and found us yet another amazing place to eat. Nothing was too much trouble not least that our walking pace meant he spent over 4 hours with us. A truly kind man. Thanks so much! "
"My wife and I had a wonderful time with our guide Joseph, who was exceptionally knowledgeable and very kind. We covered more with him in ~3 hours than we would have by ourselves in 6! Joseph was extremely engaging, patient and also is great at taking photos! He was incredibly understanding when we had to delay the start of our tour by 2 hours due to transport issues, and still provided an amazing info-packed tour with stops along the way for snacks and time for us to pray. Would recommend to anyone who really wants to understand the history of Melaka. Thank you Joseph!"
"No rush, no tourist traps, just a very very nice guy passionate about the city of Melaka with just enough historical details and lots of good food tips! "
"Joseph is a well prepared and informed guide. He always was listening and responding to our requests. My wife and I enjoyed very much the three hours with Joseph. Time really flew by. We learned much about yesterday’s and today‘s life in Malacca and came in contact with several inhabitants and craftsmen of the historical city. My advise: go to Malacca and spend some valuable time with Joseph. You‘ll never regret!"
"We had a very nice walk through the wonders of Malacca thanks to our guide Vanessa. She adapted fully to our needs and those of our children, making the experience a nice moment to remember. Thank you !!"
"What an interesting town with so much history Joesph helped us find all of it in a mixture of culture & experiences and individual wishes "
"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! "
