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.

a small van would transfer you from hotel to join the big coach. then start the journey to Malacca. a toilet break is arranged in the middle of the journey which is good. malacca is a beautiful place. enough free time is given to explore the Jonker Street. lunch tastes good!
