RM25–40 for short Jonker–Dutch Square loop is normal — negotiate before sitting, agree duration. LED trishaws pricier (RM50+) for night photos. Walk same distance in 10 min free. Kids enjoy once; adults fine walking. Touts aggressive after 10am — fixed price or skip. Not a scam if price agreed upfront; trap is open-ended "special tour" without quote. Morning less pressure.
