Private Tour: Historical Malacca Full-Day Tour from Kuala Lumpur including Lunch

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

A tour for the history enthusiast - this private sightseeing tour gives you the opportunity to see the historic Malaysian state of Malacca with ease. Malacca is the oldest trading port in Malaysia with a strong Portuguese, Dutch and English influence. You will have the opportunity to sample a local lunch before heading back to Kuala Lumpur.

Approximately 2 hours south of Kuala Lumpur is historical Malacca, the third smallest state in Malaysia and one of the oldest, and most strategic, trading ports in Malaysia which has undergone Portuguese, Dutch and English rule. Visit St. Paul's Hill for a panoramic view of Malacca and its straits as well as the old town of Bandar Hilir.

View the famous gateway, the well known Portuguese Fort de Santiago and the ruins of St. Paul's Church lined by 17th century Dutch tombstones. Malacca is most well-known for its food. Most notable of all is the Nyonya-Baba cuisine which is a mixture of Chinese and Malay cooking with most dishes which are spicy in nature. You will enjoy a local lunch (included) before taking a stroll along the 'Antique Row' in Jonker Street.

On the way back to Kuala Lumpur you will stop by the Cheng Hoon Teng, the oldest Chinese temple in Malaysia, to view Kampong Kling, a typical Malay village.

Our tour guide was very friendly and had a lot of information about Malacca.

The guide was excellent, a walking history book, but the trip itself is only worth it if you have time to kill and there's nothing left to do. There are some interesting sites in Malacca to view, but most of them are replicas, so it doesn't really feel like a true historical tour. Plus, the fare doesn't include any of the museum entries, just the hotel pick-ups and lunch. We were also hoping to do a boat ride on the river, but that didn't really happen either. In the end, I'd only recommend this trip if you want to visit temples and antique stores...

Interesting trip with excellent guide in an air-conditioned Mercedes - as with everything else from this tour company it was a great experience at a very reasonable price

Tour was OK. Would have been better if the guide came to the various sites with us instead of giving us information in the bus and then waiting for us

Nice day-trip from KL. Sites visited are only so-so. The historic relevance isn’t so important for non-Malaysians, but interesting. Traffic and crowds are terrible. Avoid going on a weekend._br/_ My guide was wonderful. Lunch provided is a set menu, but included a wide variety of dishes and was good.

Malacca was a wonderful trip. I learned a lot about Malaysian history and culture, in addition to visiting such great sites. Thank you very much!

Our guide was a bit laid back and not wanting to spend much energy on information. Left us to walk around alone quite a bit - but worth seeing this historic part of Malaysia and understanding some of the past.

Fantastic day. Learnt a lot about Malacca and Malaysia that we wouldn't have on our own or on a group tour. Money well spent.

Review by: Ronald M, Australia	September 2008
One day is not enough to see Malacca. Price stated that it included entrance fees, but on arriving our tour guide said we where responsible for all fees. Tour guide was very political and had his own views and did not allow us to talk at all. He took control of the whole day, and it drove us insane.

I was charged a substantially higher price than other travelers. My guide quoted incorrect facts and was not really interested in what he was doing.
