Penang to Malacca Destination Reviews

LT
The trip overall was ok, it just took way longer then the site told us. We arrived 4 hours later then we thought, but the drive itself was oké.

SJ
There are too many stops along the way and it got delayed by almost 2 hours. There was no proper announcement from the driver which stop can we have lunch as this journey took 9 hours from 9 am.
