We only had a driver who dropped us off in town and said we would meet in 3 hours. If we had taken a taxi, it would have been the same and 3 times cheaper.”

Review of a private Kuala Lumpur to Malacca day tour covering Dutch Square, A Famosa, Jonker Street, Nyonya food, and the river.

“Très très déçu de la prestation vu le prix payé. Pas de guide, seulement un chauffeur qui n'a rien expliqué. Pas aimable du tout, conduisant très vite. On avait peur. Il a beaucoup parlé avec sa copine au téléphone tout en conduisant. On est revenu 90 minutes avant l'horaire prévu. Je vais demander un dédommagement cat le compte n'u est vraiment pas. Limite arnaque du descriptif.”

The animal shows were entertaining, and the safari ride was a highlight — seeing the animals up close was amazing! Great place for families and kids. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Malacca!”
