It is a rare opportunity to participate in a local workshop in a different place. Moreover, the instructor's guidance was very careful and patient, which greatly increased the level of investment in production.

The room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed, with modern amenities that made my stay very comfortable. The location of the hotel was perfect for exploring the area, with many attractions within walking distance.

I bought the ticket early in the morning before going to the Waterpark. Buying online is cheaper than at the counter. The process to redeem is also easy at the Waterpark counter. Just need to show the barcode, pay the weekend surcharge and get the ticket. Thank you klook.

We (5 adults and 3 children) booked this tour on 1st January duing our trip to KL. We had Mr Wilson as our guide. We were picked up at our hotel at KLCC area on time around. The journey to Malacca from KL took around 2hrs. The tour went as per the online itinerary. The lunch served at the local restaurant were fantastic (or maybe because we were very hungry then). The only downside might be the hot Malacca weather
