“Patrick was very nice, often forgot about the passengers and that the van was very bumpy and stop and go traffic made it worse. It was very hot and humid and the absolute slowest walk possible around the city. Patrick was very knowledgeable but didn't understand how uncomfortable we were. Spent the majority of the time in Melaka in the Hard Rock Cafe as that was the ONLY place that had air conditioning.”
