What we do, and what we do not

Malacca's river cruise costs RM 50 and its old town is walkable. Nobody needs a tour to see either, and we are not going to pretend otherwise on our own website.

What a good tour adds is the evening done properly: the cruise after the lights come on, a trishaw through streets you would not find alone, dinner sorted, and the drive back to Kuala Lumpur handled at 11 PM. This site explains the city honestly, publishes the prices, and sells the guided evening to the people who want it lifted off their plate.

We are a brand of Exotic Asia Holidays Travel & Tours Sdn Bhd, a licensed Malaysian tour operator trading since 2010. We own the vehicles and employ the guides. When you book here, you are not booking through an affiliate that passes the job to somebody else.

Licensing

The paperwork, in public

Malaysian tour operators are licensed by the Ministry of Tourism. Ours are listed here so you can check them rather than take our word for it.

Across the parent operator we hold 4.9 from 3,498+ Google reviews. Those reviews cover all of Exotic Asia Holidays' tours, not this site alone, which is why we display them with attribution rather than as a rating of our own.

Things we are not

We are also not a booking aggregator. Every tour on this site is operated by Exotic Asia Holidays with our own vehicles and guides. If you find our tours listed on a third-party platform, they are the same tours — booking here simply puts you in direct contact with the people running them.

For destination guides beyond our own tours, our sister site MyTravelLane covers Malacca in more general detail, including cruise schedules and routes.

Evening cruise slots sell out on weekends and holidays. We pre-book them

Questions before you book?

We answer between 9 AM and 11 PM daily, on WhatsApp or the hotline. No booking required to ask.
