Aru was our guide who...

Aru was our guide who provided detailed background of every place we visited. Despite the heavy traffic Aru was able to navigate and bring us to all the sites. We highly recommend this tour especially for those who are short on time but want to visit all the highlights of both Kuala Lumpur and Malacca. Thanks again.

Ayyanar was my guide and he was very accommodating and flexible with the schedule of the tour. We actually ended up doing Melaka first and it was a great option as we were able to escape the crowds coming for the holidays. He was also very engaging both during the tour and while moving between the two cities. Definitely can recommend.
