I am very happy to have chosen this Nyonya Clothing Experience Hall. It is recommended to go at the earliest time so that you can slowly choose the appropriate clothing when there are not many people. The staff also carefully arranged the hair of the two children. Because it was a rainy day, the clerk was also very enthusiastic to introduce us where to go if it rains, which did not affect the photo-taking schedule at all. Very satisfied, highly recommended!

the tour guide is informative and shared a lot about Malacca and it's history. it was a great trip, other than the fact that there was a delay in the arrival back to KL due to rain and traffic, which is uncontrollable. Overall a good tour.
