Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Joseph is a great local guide taking us to some hidden but well known food gems that we otherwise would not have found. Great food and cultural tour - highly recommended."
"We had our Melaka tour with Joseph who introduced us to new foods and plenty of history about the beautiful place. Our dietary requests were considered although we only informed about ‘halal’ option only in the last minute. Will highly recommend the tour "
"Joseph was the most incredible guide!! He looked after us from the moment we arrived finding a restaurant (as we were late and hungry!). He then shared each location with incredible insight and passion. He flexed the tour to deal with my elderly parents ensuring it was enjoyable. The piece de resistance was that he found us after the tour looking lost and found us yet another amazing place to eat. Nothing was too much trouble not least that our walking pace meant he spent over 4 hours with us. A truly kind man. Thanks so much! "
"My wife and I had a wonderful time with our guide Joseph, who was exceptionally knowledgeable and very kind. We covered more with him in ~3 hours than we would have by ourselves in 6! Joseph was extremely engaging, patient and also is great at taking photos! He was incredibly understanding when we had to delay the start of our tour by 2 hours due to transport issues, and still provided an amazing info-packed tour with stops along the way for snacks and time for us to pray. Would recommend to anyone who really wants to understand the history of Melaka. Thank you Joseph!"

"We booked the tour to get to know Melakka from a different angle. Joseph was a great guy that understood what we wanted to see and eat. We saw places of Melakka we would have never found much less have eaten. The tour was supposed to take 3 hours but we ended up having an almost 4 hour tour! We definitely are a great experience richer! Thank you Joseph!"
"No rush, no tourist traps, just a very very nice guy passionate about the city of Melaka with just enough historical details and lots of good food tips! "
"This foodtour with Joseph is one of the best things we did in Malaysia! He took us to several best local foodspots we would never try if Joseph didn’t take us there. From riceballs till oysteregg and Chinese herbal thee. Joseph also tells a lot about Chinatown in Melaka where he took us, showed us the tempels and tells about the history. Joseph is so nice! "
"Joseph is a well prepared and informed guide. He always was listening and responding to our requests. My wife and I enjoyed very much the three hours with Joseph. Time really flew by. We learned much about yesterday’s and today‘s life in Malacca and came in contact with several inhabitants and craftsmen of the historical city. My advise: go to Malacca and spend some valuable time with Joseph. You‘ll never regret!"
"We had a very nice walk through the wonders of Malacca thanks to our guide Vanessa. She adapted fully to our needs and those of our children, making the experience a nice moment to remember. Thank you !!"
"What an interesting town with so much history Joesph helped us find all of it in a mixture of culture & experiences and individual wishes "
