여기가 출발점이다

Singapore

• Begin with an early morning pickup at your Singapore hotel.
• 2 of our trained staff (1 licensed guide and 1 separate driver) will meet you at the hotel driveway to check your documents before escorting you through immigration via the drive-through border (no standing-in-line).
• After clearing immigration, relax into the comfortable seats of your private, air-conditioned minivan to enjoy the 3-hour chauffeured drive to Malacca - a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was once the country’s busiest trading port.
• Use the onboard WIFI if you wish while enjoying a complimentary packed breakfast box.

Malacca River

Upon arrival in Malacca, hop onboard a scenic river cruise that will sail you into the heart of UNESCO Malacca. Spanning 10-kilometer, Malacca river was once dubbed the "Venice of the East" by European seafarers as it was a prominent port of entry for traders from Europe and Asia during the late 16th century.

Red Square (Dutch Square)

Disembarking the river cruise, you will set foot upon Dutch Square. Dutch Square is distinguished by a group of bright, terracotta-red colonial Dutch buildings, built between 1650 and 1750, with louvered windows and chunky doors with wrought iron hinges.

Queen Victoria's Fountain

In the midst of the Dutch Square is a beautiful fountain - Queen Victoria's Fountain. It is an ornate Victorian marble addition, erected in 1904 to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee.

Melaka Clock Tower

Also in the midst of Dutch Square is the Tan Beng Swee Clock Tower. It was built by a wealthy Straits Chinese family in 1886 in honour of Tan Beng Swee, a rich Chinese merchant.

St. Paul's Hill & Church (Bukit St. Paul)

At the top of St. Paul's Hill sits the iconic statue of St. Francis Xavier next to the famous St. Paul’s Church. Plenty of engraved Dutch tombstones are laid against the walls of this roofless church, originally built in 1521. From the church, you can take in breathtaking views of the Straits Of Malacca.

A Famosa Fort

Walking down from the Dutch graveyard, you will arrive at A Famosa Fort, which is the oldest surviving structure in South East Asia. It was built in 1511 using laterite stones by Alfonso de Albuquerque, the man who led the Portuguese invasion into Malacca. The fort used to surround the whole St. Paul's Hill. However, what remains of the fort now is just a gate.

Cheng Hoon Teng Temple

5 minutes drive from A Famosa Fort is the Cheng Hoon Teng Temple. Dedicated to Kuan Yin - the Goddess of Mercy, the temple is known as the Merciful Cloud Temple. Built in 1673, it is the oldest Chinese temple in Malaysia.

Batu Caves

About 90 minutes from Malacca, you will stop for a brief lunch at a popular table-service cafe before continuing on to Batu Caves. The limestone forming Batu Caves is said to be around 400 million years old. Batu Caves was founded by K. Thamboosamy Pillai, an Indian trader in 1891, as a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Murugan. A 42.7-metre high gold-painted statue of Lord Murugan was unveiled in January 2006, having taken 3 years to construct. It is one of the tallest Lord Murugan statue in the world.

Istana Negara

20 minutes drive from Batu Caves is the Istana Negara (National Palace). It is the official residence of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the monarch of Malaysia. The palace complex has an area of 97.65 hectares, 22 domes, and is split into three main portions: the Formal Component, Royal Component and Administration Component. Guests may take photos and walk around on foot at the designated public areas.

Tugu Negara

Dataran Merdeka

Located near the Tugu Negara is the Independence Square (Dataran Merdeka). This is the historical place where the Union flag was lowered and the national flag was raised for the very first time at the stroke of midnight of 31st August 1957.

Petronas Twin Towers

• 10 minutes drive from KL Tower, your guide will bring you into the Petronas Twin Towers. The Petronas Twin Towers are currently the world’s tallest twin structures. The 88-storey buildings are joined at the 41st and 42nd floors by a 58m double-deck Sky Bridge. You will get to visit the Sky Bridge on the 41st floor, as well as the Observation Deck on the 86th floor, accompanied by a Petronas in-house security escort.
• Note: Petronas Twin Towers skybridge is closed for Covid-19 sanitisation every Monday. Hence, guests who are travelling on Mondays will visit Kuala Lumpur (KL) Tower observation deck instead (with similar city views).

Pagoh

After taking photos at the Palace Of Justice, you will then head back south towards Singapore. You will stop for a brief dinner at another popular table-service cafe near Pagoh, about midway between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.

Singapore

After dinner near Pagoh, you will again be escorted through immigration via the drive-through border (no standing-in-line), before your tour finishes with a hotel drop-off.
