Fantastic Tour

Enjoyed a wonderful evening with John, who freely shared his knowledge of all things food and so much more 😊. We ate a great selection of local specialties in interesting locations. Great tour for anyone looking for authentic cuisine away from the well known tourist spots. Highly recommend this tour.

Nice food tour with guide An Nisa.

Our guide An Nisa was kind, knowledgeable and took time to tell us the history of Melaka, the cultures, and the foods. Enjoy Malay, Chinese, and Indian foods. The UNESCO neighborhood is very pretty at night too.

An excellent introduction to the culture of Melaka

We had such a wonderful experience with John! He is so knowledgeable about the history of Melaka and what life is like now. All of the food was unique and something we wouldn’t have found by ourselves - and it was all so good! The walk along the river was also so beautiful. It’s a perfect way to get acclimated to the city. Highly recommend!
