45 minutes and RM$45 wasted. It was a total rip off. Not worth the time and money. This is the only duck amphibious vehicle in Malacca. It took us from Menara Taming Sari; driving to Melaka Island, next to Masjid Selat Melaka where it goes down the ramp to the sea. And it just wend very slowly around a small... More

As others already indicated, we would have been glad to see the reviews first :) On the 'street ride' you see parts of Melaka you don't need to see, the boat ride shows you really nothing special.. The explanations (though given in several languages - from tape) are hard to get and not really a value added. We paid 45... More

Out of curiosity, I joined the tour and found it worthwhile because it is unique. The vehicle runs on the road like a normal bus but it becomes a boat when in water. The views from the sea are beautiful. The ticket price is quite high but it's still value for money. Give it a try and there is no... More

After reading some of the earlier reviews on this tour, we kept an open mind considering the fact that we're Malaysians and have been to Melaka before, with two small kids. Hence, we boarded the Duck Tour for the novelty. For the tour we were on, there were 6 adults and 2 kids on board. The guide spoke in Mandarin... More

I wish I had read the reviews before myself and friends joined this tour. We had experienced the Singapore duck tour which is very good so why not the Melaka one! Melaka is steeped in history and in 2008 was listed as a world heritage site by UNESCO and has been under the control of the portuguese, Dutch and the... More

This is without doubt the worst tour I have been on. Melaka is a wonderfully old city with great history, and beautiful buuldings... but this tour shows none of that. A desolate drive through the run down newer parts of town, followed by a half hearted motor around the sea - we didn't even go in the river. Staff look... More

Generally as a Malaysian myself i find it very expensive for the duck boat ride!however i do look at other angle of maintaining it as it goes long way during the world war two time,.It was previously being served by the americans during theworld war two! The journey starts at the town itself ,passing through the hustle and bustle of... More

I took the duck tour with my family and i find it bored. The duck tour guide speaks only Malaysia and little English. I do not understand what is he trying to say at all as I do not understand Malay. The route was boring. I find it a waste of time and money. And my hubby he actually slept... More
