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!Great tour with superb food and host

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! Great foodtour with Joseph!

We had such a great tour with Joseph. He showed us many places that we would never have discovered or dared to enter without him. A church, a buddhist temple, a shop where they make hand made lanterns, etc. He also taught us a lot about Malaccan and Malaysian history and culture. And, most importantly, we tasted so much amazing food! We visited several kopi houses and restaurants, as well as some street side stalls. Joseph also helped us avoid the foods that contained nuts and peanuts, which we we are allergic to. So: great experience, highly recommended. Great experience

Although it was Chinese New Year holiday, Joseph had planned ahead and found an authentic Chinese restaurant to take us too - which was in fact his own local but we had to go by car - the food was amazing. He was careful to understand what we liked and level of spice we could eat - which is everything and so we enjoyed a full meal of Sambal Red Snapper, Bok Choi, Chinese Pork Rib and rice. We then drove to Jonker Street where we got to try various local snacks and drinks at the Night Market. Throughout Joseph explained what the food was but also some of the history of the buildings. By the end we had to pass on the last food option as we were so full!!!Excellent food with excellent guide

We had a great experience doing a walking food tour incorporating some historical features, with Vanessa. Vanessa loves het culture and the authentic dishes and drinks only to be found in Melaka. She understood our need to be introduced to authentic dishes, which tasted delicious and gave us a good story to remember and tell. Good food, good company - what can be better. Thank you Vanessa, we loved our food experience with you!!!Vanessa is the best!!!

Before the start of the evening Vanessa dropped me a message to welcome me and my family to confirm our evening and where to find her in the city. Vanessa had allowed me to add 2 more people last minute to the booking without complaint. When we finally met her that evening, she was welcoming and so gracious, in particularly my mother in law who was worried about the evening as she was experiencing some walking difficulties. Vanessa, immediately built into the evening several stops to ensure that everyone was comfortable with the pace of the evening. Vanessa shared her own experience of growing up and intertwined this with the history of the city. Her personal experiences of all really brought the evening alive. She checked with us what type of food we ate and found us a restaurant with lots of options to eat which was not easy mid week as quite a few restaurants were closed. Vanessa shared her insights to so many different aspects of the city as we wondered across town like the locals. At the end we all took a group selfie and Vanessa gave us loads of advice on where to eat whilst we were in town plus even where to buy shoes when we got to KL! We took her advice and my sister purchased a couple of really really nice shoes for only £30 in total! Thank you Vanessa for a wonderful experience.An evening with Vanessa

We were a large group (10) from overseas to join Joseph on two tours! The team enjoyed Josephs impressive knowledge of Melaka's history and how he took us to places we would never have discovered on our own. The tours added a lot of value to our outing, we really wouldn't have wanted to miss them!

Joseph was a phenomenal tour guide. He clearly has a passion for Malaka and Malaysia, and that translates to the restaurants/ stalls/ shops he showcases, the history he shares, and the general energy he brings to the tour. He catered the experience to the two of us, and set a pace that let us roam some of the side streets of Malaka/ get a sample of off-the-beaten-path cuisine while also ensuring we didn't overheat. Amazing food tour, excellent tour guide

We organised two tours with Vanessa while staying in Melaka, and found her to be a professional, courteous, enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Firstly, we undertook a foodie tour, exploring the many facets of Melakan cuisine, but were also able to explore the old city and ready get underneath the skin of the place - finding the interesting, the obscure and the hidden. A warning, bring your appetite for all that you will be able to eat! The following day we undertook a city highlights tour, which Vanessa was flexible enough on the fly to change up, so we didn’t cover anything we’d already seen. Vanessa treats her role as a guide as much more than a job, and happily engaged in conversation about all manner of things, which made spending the time with her over two days very enjoyable. She comes with our high recommendation.A great insight into Melaka with Vanessa

We spontaneously requested the food tasting tour with Vanessa the evening before and received a confirmation from Vanessa within a few minutes. We were delighted that Vanessa had time for us so spontaneously and responded quickly to our request and general questions. Vanessa responded to our individual wishes and gave us a unique tour through Malaka. She is a kind-hearted person who loves what she does and you could tell. She talked enthusiastically about the food, but also about the historical sights. It was fun to spend time with her. The tour flew by. She gave us great recommendations for the rest of our stay in Malaka. It felt like we were walking through the city with a good friend.Flavors of Malaka with a pinch of Vanessa

Vanessa explained a bit of the history of the city, pointing out some sites and helped me find some amazing street art. In addition to all this, Vanessa is just a really kind, friendly person and great company! Thankyou Vanessa!Wonderful tour of Melaka with Vanessa

Very pleasant few hours spent with Joseph learning about Melaka which is a beautiful spot. Lots of history which he went into great detail about. The food spots were very enjoyable as he obviously knew where to go to so the food was delicious. It was much nicer than what we had tried ourselves. Met a very interesting elderly man who came to Melaka 73yrs ago and he and his wife live together and still own a shop in the old part of Melaka. Would highly recommend if you want to know about Melaka and it’s history. Great experience

We enjoyed an excellent food tour with Joseph. His historical knowledge of Malaca and in particular the temples and religious background is second to none. We enjoyed a few interesting local food stops along the way and Joseph was extremely helpful explaining everything to do with what we were choosing to eat. We enjoyed the local food stops very much and we learned a great deal about the native foods of Malaysia. Joseph very kindly followed up with us after the tour with further information, including when the appropriate markets were operating to help us find the best places to eat. I would not hesitate to recommend Joseph for a combined food and history tour of Malacca.Great food and history tour

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!Amazing Tour

What a great experience. The tour with Joseph was a pure delight. We experienced a lot of hidden places and buildings we absolutely wouldn’t have found by ourselves. Joseph is a very nice guy and a very knowledgeable tourguide. Being a little bit early to our appointment, we were surprised for Joseph already being there and we started our private tour right on the spot. exactly as we wanted it he told us a lot about the history of Melaka and about the interesting melting pot of cultures and religions. Seeing the different buildings and temples through his eyes was very interesting because we got to see details we 100% would have missed when visiting those spots by ourselves. Also visiting little workshops with old handcraft like the shoemakers was extremely interesting. Tasting some local sweets and enjoying new flavours was another highlight. After that walk in the old city he took us for a bicycle ride along the river which was very enjoyable because we got to see more of the waterfront which is quite interesting due to the colourful buildings, very old neighbourhoods (e.g. kampung morten), mangroves and some nice street art. All in all it was an extremely pleasant day with Joseph. He never gave us the feeling to be on the clock but simply was very proud and very knowledgeable about his hometown, which made this a pure delight to be his guests for this event. Thank you so much for this opportunity. We cannot recommend enough to book Joseph as a personal guide for this tour. It’s more than worth the money. Greetings from Germany, Babette and MarkusGreat Experience with Joseph!

Vanessa was a joy from the off and gave us an awesome walking tour of the colonial and Chinese parts of town. Her passion for and interest in the history of her home town gave depth and a comprehensive understanding of Melaka. She held the interest of our teen son and had answers to almost every question we threw at her. We saw all the key sights on our list and she had insights into the town’s history you won’t find in a guide book! Ask her about the clock tower! So pleased we didn’t book a car-based tour. Pleasure to have met you, Vanessa; you are the highlight of our trip here. Thank you. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Joseph was a very knowledge and obliging tour guide, taking the four of us on a 3 1/2 hour walking tour of historical, cultural and culinary aspects of Malacca. Two of us were from Singapore, so although somewhat familiar with the history of Malacca, it was still a valuable enhancement to our knowledge of Malacca’s important role in the S E Asia region and beyondA Malaccan Education
