About the Malacca & Putrajaya Combo Tour…

Embark on a captivating journey through Malaysia’s rich historical tapestry and modern administrative marvels on our private Malacca & Putrajaya City Tour.

The Private Malacca & Putrajaya City Tour begins at 7:00 AM, with your professional guide picking you up from your Kuala Lumpur hotel for a scenic journey to Malacca, located approximately 150 kilometers away. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating insights into Malacca’s rich history and its recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Our first stop is the historic St. Peter’s Church, a Roman Catholic church built in 1710 by the Portuguese. Admire its stunning architecture while learning about its significance in Malacca’s religious history. Take advantage of this moment for photos before we continue our journey.

Next, we proceed to the famous Dutch Square, also known as the Red Square, characterized by its distinctive red-colored buildings and narrow streets. This area is a testament to Malacca’s Dutch colonial past. You will witness the Stadthuys, built between 1641 and 1660 as the official residence of Dutch administrators. Nearby, you’ll find the Queen Victoria Fountain, erected in 1901 to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee.

Adjacent to the Dutch Square stands Christ Church, one of Malaysia’s oldest Protestant churches. Built in 1753, this crimson-colored church showcases Dutch colonial architecture and serves as a significant landmark in Malacca’s diverse heritage. Originally a Dutch Reformed church, it later became an Anglican church and remains Malaysia’s oldest functioning Protestant place of worship.

Ascending St. Paul’s Hill, we arrive at the ruins of St. Paul’s Church, originally constructed by the Portuguese in 1521. From this vantage point, enjoy panoramic views of Malacca’s skyline and the surrounding countryside. At the top, you will also find a statue of St. Francis Xavier, a revered missionary who played a crucial role in spreading Christianity in the region.

Descending from St. Paul’s Hill, we reach the iconic A’ Famosa, the remains of a 16th-century Portuguese fortress. Built in 1511, this stronghold was later taken over by the Dutch in 1641 and largely destroyed by the British in the 18th century. This historical site provides deep insights into Malacca’s colonial past. While here, take a moment to appreciate the stunning vistas of the Straits of Malacca, a crucial maritime route that has shaped Malacca’s history as a center for trade and commerce.

Following a brief stop at A’ Famosa and a historical overview by your guide, we head to a scenic overlook to admire the majestic Straits of Malacca along with key landmarks such as the Independence Building and the Memorial Club House.

Our journey then leads us to the lively Jonker Street in Chinatown, renowned for its vibrant atmosphere, antique shops, and delicious street food. This area is filled with historical structures and local shops offering unique goods and delicacies. Along the street, you’ll also find notable landmarks such as Chinese temples and the Hang Kasturi Mausoleum.

Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the Malacca River, where scenic views and vibrant murals illustrate the city’s rich history. The Malacca tour concludes with a visit to the Independence Building, a landmark commemorating Malaysia’s independence, and the nearby Memorial Club House, which offers additional historical insights.

After exploring Malacca, relax during a 1.5-hour drive to Putrajaya, Malaysia’s administrative capital. Your Putrajaya tour begins with a visit to the Palace of Justice, an impressive structure blending Moorish and European architectural styles, housing the Court of Appeal and the Federal Court of Malaysia.

Next, we visit the magnificent Putra Mosque, a striking pink-domed mosque constructed with rose-tinted granite. As one of Putrajaya’s most iconic landmarks, its grandeur and architectural beauty make it a must-visit site.
