Malacca with Withlocals

"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."

"We had an absolutely awesome time with Jason. From the very start of our tour, all the way to the very end. He has so much knowledge to share about the rich and vibrant history and culture of this fabulous area that is Malacca, The people you meet along the way, and the places you visit really leave you with a sense of what Malacca is all about. I highly recommend this tour with Jason for an amazing Malacca experience."

"Joseph is fantastic, he showed us around in Melacca and it felt more like a friend was showing us around. Joseph is proud of Melacca and the people living and working there. We went to places we wouldn't have been able to find ourselves and learned a lot about the background. Thank you Joseph for this unforgettable experience!"

"We absolutely loved out walk! Thanks to Jason we paid attention to subtle features of local architecture, enjoyed the town's cultural diversity and visited off the beaten path spots. Jason is a very creative, warm hearted, and cheerful person who has his own story to tell along the walk. What tasty treats he got us to try! All day I had a smile on my face and would do another tour with him, had we more days in Malakka. Thank you! We highly recommend!"

"Before the start of the evening Vanessa dropped me a message to welcome me and my family to confirm our evening and where to find her in the city. Vanessa had allowed me to add 2 more people last minute to the booking without complaint. When we finally met her that evening, she was welcoming and so gracious, in particularly my mother in law who was worried about the evening as she was experiencing some walking difficulties. Vanessa, immediately built into the evening several stops to ensure that everyone was comfortable with the pace of the evening. Vanessa shared her own experience of growing up and intertwined this with the history of the city. Her personal experiences of all really brought the evening alive. She checked with us what type of food we ate and found us a restaurant with lots of options to eat which was not easy mid week as quite a few restaurants were closed. Vanessa shared her insights to so many different aspects of the city as we wondered across town like the locals. At the end we all took a group selfie and Vanessa gave us loads of advice on where to eat whilst we were in town plus even where to buy shoes when we got to KL! We took her advice and my sister purchased a couple of really really nice shoes for only £30 in total! Thank you Vanessa for a wonderful experience."

"We were a large group (10) from overseas to join Joseph on two tours! The team enjoyed Josephs impressive knowledge of Melaka's history and how he took us to places we would never have discovered on our own. The tours added a lot of value to our outing, we really wouldn't have wanted to miss them!"

"Joseph was a phenomenal tour guide. He clearly has a passion for Malaka and Malaysia, and that translates to the restaurants/ stalls/ shops he showcases, the history he shares, and the general energy he brings to the tour. He catered the experience to the two of us, and set a pace that let us roam some of the side streets of Malaka/ get a sample of off-the-beaten-path cuisine while also ensuring we didn't overheat. "

"Vanessa organised such a lovely walking food tour for me around Melaka. She tailored our menu (there’s a few things I don’t eat), and everything was delicious! Vanessa explained a bit of the history of the city, pointing out some sites and helped me find some amazing street art. In addition to all this, Vanessa is just a really kind, friendly person and great company! Thankyou Vanessa!"
