Amazing day with Sathia, visited everything we wanted to in Malaka and got some fantastic local insights. Perfect length day trip from KL, no-stress day, appreciated the pickup and drop off at the hotel. Thanks Sathia!
We had a great trip to Malaka. Janad briefed us very well about the history of Malaysia and Malacca. His knowledge and recommendations on sites and restaurants were appreciated and very useful. Thank you!
Janar was wonderful. He was so knowledgeable and accommodating. We loved our day in historic Malacca. We felt very safe and loved the day.
It was a VERY ENJOYABLE AND EDUCATIONAL TOUR. PRABAZ our tour guide is the most professional tour guide and very knowledgeable of the area. A true asset to your company He has a great personality and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. We were 3 , myself my husband and my sister. Thank him for us.
I hate leaving a bad review, but I felt like this private tour was a lot of money (AUD $125 per person) and didn't deliver what we paid for. The guide seemed nice but he really just wandered around the sites with us but didn't do much else & we could've just visited these ourselves. Plus he didn't organize the trishaw ride which was part of what we paid for. The booking was for 4 adults but rather than a nice van transporting us, an SUV with small children seats in the luggage area was provided which meant that 2 of us were stuck back there with no air or doors. It was squishy and uncomfortable for the long ride to/from KL and to be honest, disappointing. Given that we paid AUD $500 for this, we felt it didn't deliver the private tour we were expecting & catching a Grab there and back would've delivered the same.

We booked the full day Malacca tour with pick up at the hotel and were very lucky to have Sathia as our guide. I’ve traveled many places and worked with numerous guides – but Sathia is truly incomparable. She is by far the best tour guide I have ever experienced! She picked us up on time directly at the hotel, after we had agreed in advance quite uncomplicatedly via WhatsApp the pickup time. From the beginning she was incredibly warm, attentive and accommodating. Due to unexpected changes on our part, she adapted the tour completely flexibly and at no extra cost to our wishes – which is far from a given. A highlight was the private rickshaw ride through the historically charming streets of Malacca and the city tour. For lunch, she took time to respond to our preferences, and led us to an excellent restaurant. Throughout the tour she always paid attention to our well-being and needs. At the end of the day we were back at the hotel on time – and so enthusiastic about Sathia that we immediately booked her back for an individual trip the next day in Kuala Lumpur! I can fully recommend Sathia and the tour and would book her again for a tour at any time. Thank you for this wonderful experience!
