TOUR OVERVIEW

Watch Melaka change from day to night on a private tour of the historic city. Begin with a Melaka River cruise, gliding past colourful murals, heritage shophouses and riverside cafés as the afternoon light softens over the water. The cruise takes about 45 minutes and passes Kampung Morten, the traditional Malay village on the riverbank.


Then step ashore for a guided walk through the old streets as the lights come on and the evening air cools. Your private guide shares the stories of Melaka's trading past, from the merchants and ships that passed through this port to the cultures they left behind. It's a memorable way to see the city in a different light.
