What Our Travelers Say

I participated in the After Dark Food Tour and had a great evening. The tour includes a big variety of different cuisines that represent the mix if cultures in Malacca. Our guide was super friendly and the food delicious so I would totally recommend it! Definitely come with an empty stomach!

Melaka After-Dark Food Tour

Smooth day with a flexible route. We saw the essentials and added a chicken rice ball stop by request. The guide mixed facts with simple local stories and kept us ahead of crowds. Air-conditioned comfort made a big difference. We paused for river views and photos, then ended near Jonker with ideas for dessert. Covered plenty without feeling tired. Ideal for families or hot days.

Private Melaka Car Tour

A thoughtful food walk that connected taste to place. We sampled charcoal toast, kuih, and chicken rice balls while learning Peranakan stories along Harmony Street. The guide kept us engaged, checked dietary needs, and found shady routes. Finished with cendol and a short list of stalls to revisit. 


Come hungry. Portions are fair, timing is calm, and the storytelling makes each bite meaningful.

Melaka UNESCO City Free Walking Tour

Loved the mix of sit-down tastings and street eats. We started cozy at Wild Coriander, walked the river, then tried classic stalls without long waits. The guide explained what we ate and why it matters here, plus hygiene tips and how to order. Night photos turned out lovely. Portions were fair, pace steady, and we ended with cendol and a cheerful riverside group photo. Good value and very organized.
