- Lovelynn C8 contributionsDefinitely worth a visit to understand the cultural heritage of Malacca. Either ask for a guide or a booklet provided to explain when going around the home. Fairly steep stairs to the first floor. Beautiful crafted features of the home, artefacts, clothing, old photos etc.
There is a souvenir shop at the end.Written 2 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - bukagirlNew Jersey3,868 contributionsThere was a refreshing breeze.

He was immensely knowledgeable, well known in his locale, humorous and conscious of the fact that the day was hot and humid and we had only arrived the day before. The tour took in Dutch Square, with the statue to Queen Victoria in the centre. We visited Christ church and the ruins of St Paul's from which there are fantastic views of the city with the Straits in the distance.Written 28 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Broderick LSingapore7 contributionsStairs were very steep. The view from the top of the hill was very beautiful. Souvenirs were quite overpriced and ‘meh’. The ‘church’ was just a ruin with multiple stone slabs. Overall, a very chill place to visit.Written 15 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Quang Kiet LeHo Chi Minh City, Vietnam964 contributionsThe mosque was built on the water and seemed to be a popular tourist spot to watch sunset in Malacca. And yes, it looked romantically beautifully. However, the beach right next to the mosque's left offered a better view.Written 23 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Zsuzsa.GuideTargu Secuiesc, Romania244 contributionsThis house built at the waterfront has an estimated price of 700.000 dollar, but it's more than that. The owner shows his house with excellent stories remembering the past, his father and grandfather, he is a living legend. Admire the house and all what you can see inside.Written 8 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- sally6001oundle13 contributionsThis is billed as a river walk but really there is little to see of interest. Once you are beside the river either walk into the town or use one of the trikes to peddle you around . Cheap enough for a 45min tour they will wait for you at each place of interest. I would recommend as it was so hot and exhausting and they know where to go instead of working with a map if you have limited time .Written 9 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
