What you can expect

Step back in time on a full-day tour to UNESCO-listed Malacca, the birthplace of Malaysia. Travel comfortably from Kuala Lumpur and discover the city where East meets West on the historic Straits of Malacca. This immersive journey takes you through centuries of multicultural heritage, iconic landmarks, and vibrant local life—all in one unforgettable day.

Begin your adventure with a convenient morning pickup from your selected location. Relax on a scenic drive to Malacca, where your first stop is the beautiful St. Peter’s Church. Explore the legendary A’Famosa Portuguese fortress and the ancient Porta De Santiago, remnants of the city’s colonial past.

Stroll through Dutch Square, home to the famous pink-hued Christ Church (closed every Monday) and the striking Dutch administrative buildings, now housing museums and government offices. Pause for a photo at the Maritime Museum, then wander up St. Paul’s Hill to the ruins of St. Paul’s Church, offering panoramic views over Malacca.

Enjoy an authentic local lunch at a handpicked restaurant, savoring the flavors of Malacca’s diverse culinary scene. Afterward, explore the bustling Jonker Street, famed for its antique shops, local snacks, and unique souvenirs. Visit the historic Cheng Hoon Teng Temple, where Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism are all practiced under one roof. End your walking tour with a leisurely stroll along the scenic banks of the Melaka River.

Throughout the day, your guide will share fascinating stories about the Malay sultanate, Malacca’s rise as a global trading port, and the influence of Portuguese and Dutch settlers from the 16th century. After a day filled with discovery and culture, relax on the return journey to Kuala Lumpur, with drop-off at your original pickup point.
