Experience the best of
Malacca with Withlocals

"Joseph provided us with a great introduction to Melaka and its food. He is incredibly knowledgeable and considerate. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. We commenced the tour very soon after arriving in Melaka. With Joseph’s knowledge and expertise it made the rest of our stay easier to navigate and most of all- enjoy! "

"From the very beginning, the experience felt incredibly warm and personal, like walking through the streets of Malacca with a good friend. Jason guided us through the city with so much love and passion, helping us truly understand and feel Malacca rather than just learn facts about it. Everywhere he took us, we were welcomed just as warmly. A particular highlight was the shared lunch together, which felt very special and authentic. Later on, we even visited him at his Love Music Vinyl Cafe and spent New Year’s Eve there. For anyone who values a mindful, respectful approach and wants more than just historical information, but rather a genuine sense of the soul of Malacca, Jason is the perfect guide. We will always look back on this day with fond memories and truly hope to return one day."

"My partner and I did the food tour with Joesph here in Melaka. It was fantastic! He was such a knowledgeable tour guide and took us to some of the most delicious food that we have had during our trip. He was able to provide a good knowledge of the local history, was funny and super easy to spend 3 hours with. If you love food and want to try the local dishes, as well as get some great recommendations for other restaurants not on the trip then this is the tour. There is a bit of walking so a generally level of fitness is helpful. No hills , however you do cover a bit of distance. 10/10 would recommend this tour. "

"Joseph really knows his history of Malacca and explains it in a very good humoured way. Expect a good workout on your walk, although of course he would adapt to your needs. Overall, an excellent few hours, especially good if you only have a short time in Malacca."

"Joseph met us promptly at the pre organized location He was very knowledgeable and could provide us with great local knowledge My dad is not able to walk much or fast and Joseph was so accomodating, I felt so grateful for his care and attention towards my parents whilst making sure everyone was engaged Additionally I asked for local recommendations for after the tour and I actually went to some and they were all great recommendations! Thank you Joseph "

"Joseph is a great local guide taking us to some hidden but well known food gems that we otherwise would not have found. Great food and cultural tour - highly recommended."

"We had our Melaka tour with Joseph who introduced us to new foods and plenty of history about the beautiful place. Our dietary requests were considered although we only informed about ‘halal’ option only in the last minute. Will highly recommend the tour "

"Joseph was the most incredible guide!! He looked after us from the moment we arrived finding a restaurant (as we were late and hungry!). He then shared each location with incredible insight and passion. He flexed the tour to deal with my elderly parents ensuring it was enjoyable. The piece de resistance was that he found us after the tour looking lost and found us yet another amazing place to eat. Nothing was too much trouble not least that our walking pace meant he spent over 4 hours with us. A truly kind man. Thanks so much! "

"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!"

"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!"
