The tour was a really good choice when you visit the museum. But, you have to pay attention to the group tour schedule here. The tour guides are very friendly and will give you very informative information in the interesting way. A recommend place to go when you were in Malacca.

Strange way of entering and paying - a lady talked to us through a cracked door. Money was collected by a lady just walking around in the lobby. Museum itself was very well kept and our tour guide was informative, funny, and spoke good English. Costs RM 16 for non-Malaysians for a 1 hour guided tour.

The tour was very amusing and informative. Admission was RM 16 per person inclusive of a tour of the house is a real steal for what you get. The website said that you have to book the tour ahead of time but we went on a weekday and joined the tour immediately, might have been because it was a weekday. Visitors are not permitted to take photos during the tour. Overall, I was very impressed with our guide and the house itself.
