Welcome to KUALA LUMPUR, the capital and the largest city in Malaysia. Upon arrival, you will be welcomed by our Asia Senses travel guide and driver, then be transferred to your hotel for check in.

After freshening up and taking some time to relax, start the exploration of this charming city which covers a colourful spectrum of Malaysian architecture, history, cultural heritage, crafts and lifestyle. Our first destination is Thean Hou Temple, one of the largest Chinese temple in South East Asia and was officially opened on 3rd September 1989. After that we will visit the Malaysia National Monument, a sculpture that commemorates those who died in Malaysia's struggle for freedom, principally against the Japanese occupation during World War II and the Malayan Emergency, which lasted from 1948 until 1960.

The tour includes photo-stops at the Gate of the King’s Palace, Merdeka Square & Royal Selangor Club. During the tour, we also take short visits to Petronas Towers, the Moorish-style Railway Building and National Mosque. After the tour, transfer back to your hotel. The rest of day is free at leisure.

Overnight in Kuala Lumpur.

After breakfast at the hotel, drive to MELAKA, the historical town which is just a two hour drive (136 km) from Kuala Lumpur. It has a varied history, having been colonized by the Portuguese, Dutch, and British, and as such you will find influences from all of these former colonial powers in the food, architecture, and even the language. This city is one of best places in Malaysia to uncover rich and varied historical heritage.

Once in Melaka, visit Porta de Santiago, one of the few oldest surviving remnants of European architecture in the whole of Asia. It is the last remains of what used to be a mighty fortress. We also take visits to other attractions like Stadthuys building, Christ Church, Clock Tower and the Queen Victoria Fountain. Afterwards, head to the Baba Nyonya Museum to learn about Peranakan culture that is prevalent in Malacca. Then take a stroll on Jonker Street, or Jalan Hang Jebat, widely known for its harmonious blend of cultures as well as numerous historical sites.

For lunch, sample authentic Peranakan cuisine which is a unique blend of Chinese, Malay and other Southeast Asian cultures. To end our today’s tour, take a riverboat cruise up the Melaka River, which is a great way to see the sights of Melaka at a leisurely pace, in comfort. In the late afternoon, transfer back to Kuala Lumpur.
