5.00John is friendly and helpful during the entire session. Both my kids learn the real history of Melaka from the real world experience outside of what written in the text book.

5.00Olivia is an excellent guide. She presented historical facts in a very engaging way without being overwhelming. Her knowledge of Malacca’s history and culture made the experience much more enjoyable. She was friendly and happy to answer questions, while also sharing many interesting details that we would not have discovered on our own (e.g. floral decoration on homes). I highly recommend Olivia to anyone visiting Malacca.

5.00Mimi was absolutely amazing. Mimi explained the entire historical and cultural significance of Melaka in such a wonderful way (which included her beautifully singing Melaka’s state anthem and teaching us the traditional dance steps). A truly local experience! Mimi took us to some really cool hidden gems during the tour and also shared lovely recommendations for museums to visit and local food to try. And the highlight is Mimi’s sense of humour and her lovely personality which makes the tour so much more fun and engaging!
