What you can expect

Our 8-hour Historical Malacca Tour promises to immerse you in the rich history, vibrant culture, and captivating appeal of this UNESCO World Heritage city. Upon pickup from your hotel lobby in Kuala Lumpur, you embark on a 2 hour scenic ride to Melaka. On your way there, your driver guide shares insights into the city's rich history while pointing out famous sites along the way.

Once you’ve arrived at Melaka, you'll begin your adventure by visiting St. Peter's Church, which was established in 1710 and is noted for its Baroque architecture.

After having a quick photo stop at St. Peter's Church, you move on to the Dutch Square. The Dutch Square, with its red-colored buildings, recalls recollections of the past when the Dutch dominated Malacca. You'll witness the Stadthuys, which functioned as the official residence of Dutch administrators and the Queen Victoria Fountain, built in 1901 to mark Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.

Next, you’ll walk your way to the Christ Church of Melaka, which was built by the Dutch in 1753 and features beautiful red bricks and a distinct Dutch colonial design. This Dutch-built Anglican church, formerly Dutch-reformed, exemplifies Malacca's historic legacy.

Along the way, you’ll notice several souvenir stalls at the Dutch Square, where you can browse and purchase unique traditional crafts and souvenirs to remember your visit.

You'll then make your way up to St. Paul's Hill, where you’ll witness the ruins of St. Paul's Church, which was built by the Portuguese in 1521. The panoramic views of Malacca from here are stunning, as are the ruins of this historic church situated on the summit of St. Paul's Hill. In addition to the ruins, there is a statue of St. Francis Xavier at the top.

You'll then descend to see the iconic A’ Famosa, the remains of a 16th-century Portuguese stronghold. The fortress, built by the Portuguese in 1511, was taken by the Dutch in 1641 and substantially destroyed by the British in the 18th century.

After having a quick stop at A Famosa and listening to the historical insights given by your driver guide, we pause at a picturesque overlook to see the majestic Straits of Malacca and important landmarks such as the Independence Building and Memorial Club House.

Next, you make your way for a leisurely stroll along the Malacca River, where you can admire the charming riverside scenery with decorated bridges, cafés, shophouses, and historic buildings along the way. You walk your way to Jonker Street in Chinatown, famous for its vibrant atmosphere, antique shops and delicious street food, which are really intriguing to observe in an authentic old street.

Our trip ends with a delicious lunch of local Malaccan dishes, offering authentic flavours and culinary traditions. You get the chance to savour a great meal of native Malaccan cuisine made with fresh ingredients and unique flavours before you get back in the vehicle and enjoy the 2-hour ride back to your hotel in Kuala Lumpur.
