Tour of Historic Malacca, Malaysia World Heritage Site and UNESCO city.
Briefly, I am an independent tour ambassador for my home state Malacca, Malaysia. I am born and bred here and the historical belt of the city was my childhood playground. Over the years I have studied and learned on many historical subjects of my hometown. Veteran tour guides have given and shared plenty of their knowledge and advice. I am passionate and eager to show tourists from around the world the heritage, culture, and history of Malacca, World Heritage and UNESCO city. There are so many amazing hidden and inside stories that I wish to share with anyone out there about Malacca. I enjoy meeting and sharing chats with people from around the world and I have enjoyed every tour that I have given in the past and I intend to provide an interesting and most enjoyable experience to everyone. “Selamat Datang ke Malacca” meaning “Welcome to Malacca.” Guru’s gentle note :- - kindly direct message to the Guru if you need help eg. if you need more spots should bookings and schedules seem full, if you’re running late, local recommendations etc. Guru will try to fulfill your needs and will promptly respond to you.
