マラッカの名所： プライベート日帰りツアー

I'm here to praise my recent tour of Putrajaya Mosque (the pink mosque) and Malacca from Kuala Lumpur. First off, KL Buddy Tours is a small, entrepreneurial tourism company, basically a wonderful family business run by Goofy Chen and his wife Hzael. I was immediately drawn to the responsiveness and care with which they both handled my tour. You don't get some big uncaring factory of a tourist day trip from KL to Melacca with them, as every message was quickly answered and they showed tremendous flexibility and personalization of my tour. I looked at other options first, but these felt like uncaring, large tourist company offerings. I was able to add the addtion stop for a small surcharge of the Putrajaya pink mosque, as well as seeing all the highlights of Melacca. I was able to start slightly earlier than stated in the standard tour, and get dropped off at the airport for my hotel, as was leaving the next day. In addition, it was easy to travel in a nice sedan with Chen drining, and having the chance to discuss Malaysia. The tour of Melacca was comprehensive, and Chen ensured I not only saw the sights, but also got pointers from Chen along the way. Both he and his wife Hazel are very kind and I so enjoyed a very full day trip from KL. I highly recommend KL Buddy Tours, and, honestly wish I had an extra day in KL to do their KL City Tour which I'm sure would be just as good. I say go with Chen & Hazel as the tour is small, personalized and perfectly executed. Communication is soooooo much better with a small, family firm that actually cares.

Our private guide picked us up in Kuala Lumpur at our apartment and on our way to Malacca we already got a lot of background information about the country, the culture, the history, the various population groups etc. Goofy Chen was a very nice and knowledgeable tour guide/driver this day. Nothing was too much for him and he took the time to clearly explain all the sights. Although it was not planned, there was also time to walk past some shops. The restaurant he had chosen was excellent and his suggestions what was tasty we followed and did not regret. It was delicious. All in all, the tour took more than 1.5 hours longer than planned due to our extra requests but that was no problem at all. We also got good tips about the upcoming places we are going to visit on this trip. Thank you Goofy Chen

Melaka (Malacca) is a must visit destination in Malaysia because it’s the old capital and it’s full of historical buildings from the Dutch, the Portuguese and the British, with many beautiful old mosques and Chinese and Tamil temples. Chen was my tour guide, who is very knowledgeable in the history of this unique city, and he took me to all the places that I wanted to visit. We went to the Kampung Hulu Mosque, the Kampung Kling Mosque, and the gorgeous Cheng Hoon Teng Temple. We also walked in an alley decorated with beautiful Street Art, and the Dutch Square, where I took a ride on a trishaw, and then weny on a scenic river cruise in the Melaka River. Then we walked along the famous Jonker Street (which I wish it was a pedestrian only street), and at the end we stopped by the Melaka Straits Mosque.

We had a fantastic day on this tour. Our guide, Chen, was absolutely fantastic and very knowledgeable about the area. Nothing was ever too much trouble throughout the day and he made the day so fun. The communication before the trip was also great. Thank you so much for making our tour so memorable!!

We could not imagine a better guide than Chen. He was knowledgeable, calm, patient, and completely attentive to our needs. My wife and I had our best day in Malaysia on this tour!

Chen’s private Instagram tour of Maleka was an absolute delight! His passion for the town shone through as he shared hidden gems and captivating local stories, blending insider knowledge with genuine warmth. As a new entrepreneur, his dedication to creating a personalized experience was evident—his friendly demeanor made us feel like old friends road tripping together for the day from KL! If you want a tour that’s both insightful and heartwarming, Chen’s your guide!

This was a fantastic day tour yo Melacca. My guide was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He filled me in on all of the cultural, historical, and religious background of the area.
