Our Representative will pick up you from any hotels in Kuala Lumpur or KLIA Airport and Proceed to Melaka. Stop at : Christ Church Christ Church was created in the eighteenth century to replace the ageing Portuguese church, and remains one of the most iconic buildings from the Dutch Colonial era in Melaka. Originally white, this building was painted red in the early 1900’s, and this colour has become an indicator of most of the buildings from the Dutch era. The inside of the church is inlaid with a number of tombstones, written in Dutch, English, Portuguese and Armenian. Often long-winded, these tombstones give an interesting snapshot of life in colonial times. Stop at: Stadthuys This old Dutch city hall is painted the same red as Christ Church and most of the other remaining Dutch Colonial buildings in Melaka. It went from the offices of the Dutch governor and deputy governor under Dutch rule to a free English school under British rule. Today it is home to the History and Ethnography museum, believed to be one of the premier museums in the region. It includes traditional costumes and artefacts that showcase the many different periods in Melakan history. Stop at : St. Paul's Church Originally built by a Portuguese captain in 1521 as a simple chapel, St. Paul’s Church offers views over Melaka from the summit of Bukit St Paul. St. Francis Xavier, one of the founders of the Jesuit order, used the church as his base for his missionary journeys to China and Japan. In one of those journeys, Xavier fell sick and eventually died in China in 1552. His body was temporarily interred here for nine months before being transferred to Goa, where it remains today. Visitors can look into his ancient tomb inside the church, and a marble statue of the saint gazing over the city. Stop at:A Famosa The remains of this Portuguese fortress are among the oldest remaining European structures in all of Asia. A Famosa (Porta de Santiago) was built on a seaside hilltop in the early 1500s to protect the newly conquered land from returning to a sultanate or being invaded by other European nations. The hope was to create another Portuguese friendly port along the Spice Route to ease trade for merchant ships delivering between Asia and Europe. It later fell into Dutch hands, and was given to Britain to avoid being conquered by Napoleonic France. Britain feared its power if it were conquered, so chose to destroy it instead of fortifying it further. A single small gate was preserved at the request of Sir Raffles, the founder of Singapore. Stop at Lunch Chicken Rice Ball Chicken rice ball is one of the must eat food in Melaka.Together chilli sauce, the plate of steamed chicken is served together with the soft rice balls. I must say they offer one of the best rice balls in town. Despite the fragrance, it comes with a moist and slightly sticky texture – perfect in mouth. For the steamed chicken, the meat is very tender and juicy. Poured with the soy-based sauce, it offers a delicately salty taste too. Best to pair with the chilli sauce. Stop at Cendol This is Famous Desserts in Melaka Cendol is an iced sweet dessert that contains droplets of green rice flour jam, coconut milk and palm sugar syrup. It is commonly found in Southeast Asia and is popular in Melaka.Next to the green jam, additional toppings might be added, including diced jackfruit, sweetened red azuki beans, or durian. Stop at Evening Jonker Street Walk This street is the centre of Chinatown of Melaka. It began in Dutch Colonial times as the home to many of the servants of Dutch nobility. However, after the Dutch left, it became the home of the nobles themselves. Many seventeenth-century manors remain here, along with a large number of shops, restaurants and other amenities. When the large Chinese presence moved in, decorative accents like a large Chinese-style archway were added. The street is blocked off every Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening to become a pedestrian-only night market. Stop at: Melaka River Cruise The Malacca River (Sungai Melaka) cuts across the city of the same name, now most commonly spelled Melaka, and is also known as the Melaka River. In recent years, the river has been revitalised into a top destination, with both Malaysians and international visitors coming to soak in its history and marvel at the diverse architecture from the city’s Portuguese, Dutch, and British heritage.

Each driver decorates their trishaw with bright flowers, flashing lights, flags and souvenirs.
