There was a problem with the intermediary company I contacted, and no one contacted me until around 11 o'clock in the evening the day before departure. But the tour guide is very considerate and professional. He can speak Chinese and also helps with taking photos. Thank you very much to the tour guide and driver🫶🏼

First of all, I'm afraid of social problems. Fortunately, I met a driver who won't keep chatting hard. I'll add 100 points first. Then, the itinerary can be fine-tuned according to preferences and physical strength. It's great. We can also have individualized discussions at lunch. This time ATLANTIC NYONYA @ MELAKA RAYA performed very well. My wife is happy when I buy special clothes at Jonker Street. My wife is beautiful and happy when I take pictures at the mosque. She can be happy even during her menstrual period, so that’s no problem. She can accommodate a lot of people in her schedule, and everything goes well with her family. My husband just pays for it. .

🌐 During this trip to Kuala Lumpur, we heard that you can take a one-day tour at klook, so Malacca was our first choice. Decided to take a more luxurious private trip for 4 people. Sure enough, my companions said that because of this suggestion, we had a rich and wonderful trip. 🕌 The driver and tour guide Ah Xing waited for us very patiently. He told us about the local culture and history in fluent Chinese along the way, and also helped us take photos. I deeply feel that we should travel with the right person, because Ah Xing’s service is beyond praise👍. The trip to Malacca added more points to this trip, and it left such a deep and beautiful impression. ⛪️Thank you Ah Xing for your service. Thank you also for trying this kind of exclusive and private itinerary for the first time. 😍

Journey was smooth. Coach was clean and comfortable. Driver was skillful and careful. The guide was dutiful but not as detailed as the one in our coach to Melaka.
