Full description

Malacca was once one of the busiest ports in Asia, and its old town still shows the marks of the Malay sultanate, the Portuguese, the Dutch and the British. On this private day trip you travel from Kuala Lumpur with a driver-guide and visit the red buildings of Dutch Square and Christ Church, the ruins of St. Paul’s Church on the hill, and the Porta de Santiago gate.

After lunch there is time for Jonker Street and the Peranakan shophouses of the old Chinese quarter, and a look at the Malacca River before the drive home.
