Return
to where it all began – Malacca.
The history of Peninsular Malaysia
is said to have begun here, where
the Portuguese, Dutch and English
took turns to rule this once important
and prosperous trading post of South
East Asia. It takes approximately
2 hours to reach Malacca with a
short refreshment stop in between
from Kuala Lumpur. Once there, we
take you on a historical tour to
see what makes Malacca famous including
historical legacies such as St.
Peters Church, Bukit China, Dutch
Square, the ruins of St. Paul’s
Hill, A Famosa, the Independence
building and a replica of the Sultan’s
Palace. We also indulge in shopping
by dropping by Chinatown and the
Memorial Club House where you can
see exhibits on Independence Day
and visit a nearby open bazaar and
bullock cart rides.
