The former Portuguese colony of Malacca, also spelled Melaka, is home to a long and fascinating history. Discover the legacy of this UNESCO World Heritage Site on this full-day trip from Kuala Lumpur.

Trip Details

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Kuala Lumpur and then drive to Malacca, one of Malaysia's most historic cities.

After a 2-hour drive, we'll arrive at the old town, where we'll take a guided tour of the historic center of Malacca. We'll start by visiting St. Peter's Church, the oldest Roman Catholic church in Malaysia. Afterwards, we'll learn more about the Portuguese legacy in this former colony at the Santiago Gate, the only remaining vestige of the fortress of A Famosa.

The next point we'll visit will be the Malacca Museum and the Red Square, one of the most beautiful squares in the city. Amongst the different crimson-colored monuments, the Christ Church particularly stands out. The perfect place to discover more about Malacca's passionate history!

We'll then recharge our batteries with a traditional Malaysian lunch at a local restaurant. After eating, we'll then drive to Jonker Street, Malacca's shopping street, and pass by the Cheng Hoon Teng Temple, the oldest Buddhist shrine in Malaysia.

We'll end the tour with a walk along the river, from where we'll return to Kuala Lumpur. Arrival at your hotel is scheduled for 10 hours after pickup.

Tour without Lunch

If you prefer to eat on your own in Malacca, you can select the option without lunch. In this case, we'll give you an hour of free time to eat while the rest of the group is at the designated restaurant.

Malacca Private Tour

If you'd like to visit Malacca in a more personalized way, any day of the week, and with an English-speaking guide, we recommend booking our private tour from Kuala Lumpur. Plus, if you're a large group, you'll save money!

Hotel Pickup

This tour includes pickup from hotels in the Golden Triangle of Kuala Lumpur, except the area of Pudu, ChowKit, KL Sentral, Brickfields, Four Points by Sheraton Kuala Lumpur Chinatown Hotel, Olympic Malaysia Hotel, Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur Hotel and YWCA Kuala Lumpur Hotel.

If you're staying in other areas, we'll pick you up from the main entrance of Berjaya Times Square Shopping Centre at the indicated time.

Pickup is only included when booking for a minimum of 2 persons. If you only book for one person, we'll pick you up at the indicated meeting point.

If you wish to be picked up outside of the indicated meeting point and areas in Kuala Lumpur, you'll be charged an extra 50RM per person.

Partial Closures

  • St. Peter's Church and Red Square are closed on Mondays. Also, please note that shorts are not allowed inside the church.
  • St. Peter's Church will be closed from September 10 to 14, 2026.

Important Info 

Please note that if you have booked the activity on October 3 and 4, 2026, hotel pickup will not be available due to an event taking place in the city that will affect road access and traffic.

On these dates, we'll meet at the scheduled time at the main entrance of Berjaya Times Square shopping mall.
