Great time! - The car was so comfortable—it had lay flat seats! We were offered food and drink and stops for the WC whenever we needed them. It was a long day but our guide, Eddison, made it fun and informative.
Our time in Kuala Lampur ended with dinner in a revolving restaurant in the KL tower!
Lovely day!

A must do - incredible way to see top sights in a day! - This was an incredible experience! Logistics and details were on point - everything was thought of and provided. Edison is truly a gifted guide! He shared his tremendous knowledge of the country. He provided insights in a wide range of topics. The tour provides a way to see some of the top sights in a very full day. He and Mr G, the driver, were fantastic in getting us around. Edison adjusted the tour for our family with 2 teens as we requested as we progressed, which was very helpful for us all to enjoy places and the overall experience!

Best day trip to Malaysia from Singapore and 100% worth it! - As evidenced by the itinerary, you cover a lot of ground on this private day tour. The fact that my husband and I had our own private driver and tour guide made for an absolutely priceless and unforgettable visit to Malaysia (we went in July 2023). We didn't have to wait on anyone else like we would have in large groups, and we were able to spend as much or as little time as we wanted doing the many planned activities of the tour. As a huge bonus, our tour guide was an exceptional private photographer, immortalizing our excursion with many beautiful photographic memories that my husband and I will cherish for the rest of our lives. Overall, I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who is interested in exploring Malacca and Kuala Lumpur. The extra money you pay for the private attention is worth every penny, and my husband and I would 100% do it again. Be sure to coordinate your passport info ahead of time with the tour company in order to go into the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur as this is absolutely a highlight and one of the most iconic parts of the trip. Thank you for one of the best day trips we have ever taken! P.S.- We did get a stamp in our passports when we entered Malaysia. :)

Great Experience - This is a great experience of being quickly immersed in the history and culture of Malaysia. Edison, Tour guide is well prepared with historical facts, illustrations, dialogue and current events. I chose Business Class which is a great option and well worth the money. A professional driver in a very comfortable and well-kept new van; A/C, tinted windows, comfortable seats, Wi-Fi, phone charger.
This is a very very long day. Be prepared. The most we traveled at one time was about 90 minutes. Plenty of opportunities to use the restroom facilities along the way. Toilet tissue is provided, but you may want to bring some of your own. Left my hotel at 5am and returned around 10pm. Be prepared with a day pack which is safely left in the van (as always, leave valuables in locked safe at hotel) (slippers, change of shoes in case it rains, airpods, any meds you may take throughout the day, pen and paper) And your passport! (The passport crossing was efficient and streamlined)
The adventure is well timed but note there is no time slotted for sauntering through souvenir stores or lingering for snacks. Edison does a great job of moving you through the multitude of sites you get to see in this one day trip.
For solo travelers - especially women - I felt safe the entire trip. Edison was by my side and our driver watched over me as well.
If you're considering this journey - go for it. It was worth it to see another part of the world!
